- Abstract
Objective: to analyze the transactional distance, in the student's perspective, of a long distance Health Management course. Method: a qualitative, holistic study, a single case study. Fifty-nine students enrolled in the in-house support poles in Minas Gerais and São Paulo attended the semistructured interview and the online questionnaire. The Thematic-Categorical Content Analysis technique and the Atlas Ti software were used to systematize the analysis. As a theoretical reference, the Transactional Distance Theory was used. Results: it was verified that the dialogue occurs in a bidirectional, unilateral and noisy way; the course has high structuring and there is low student autonomy. Conclusion: situations have been identified, increasing the perception of transactional distance, which may contribute to the failure of the course and avoidance of students. Interaction and autonomy need to be maximized in this experience, enhancing the adequate training of managers in the public health system.
