SUMMARY:

With the growing human need for food, fiber and fuel,
agricultural activity that emerged with the aim of meeting such demand has triggered
numerous negative effects on the environment and society. Agroforestry systems
(AFS) are able to create complex agroecosystems less dependent on resources
external to them. These depart from principles and processes developed from the
observation of natural systems and can be conducted according to need
of the producer inserting species of economic interest making them productive to the
at the same time they provide input for improving environmental quality. A
SAF training mostly takes place in person, as it requires knowledge
practices applied to a good understanding of such science. With the pandemic
COVID-19 in March 2020 distance learning emerged as a strategy for
resumption and continuity of face-to-face classes in several areas and has become a
alternative for training in agroforestry systems. This dissertation had
with the objective of evaluating AFS learning through online mentoring. the object of
research was a formation called Mentoring Program in Agroforest that
consisted of a six-month continuous training process that uses
EAD tools. To collect the data, a description of the methodologies was made.
applied and the experiences carried out within the distance learning  in the agroforestry context to
two groups of the Program, totaling forty-three participants, application of
semi-structured questionnaire to the students, survey of the characteristics of
interviewed and based on the obstacles and challenges identified, proposals were made for
solutions for mentoring, as well as measuring the members' learning. A
Mentoring in AFS through  distance learning achieved a different objective from the purpose of a
face-to-face training. Although the participants do not believe that training via distance learning
has the same result as a face-to-face training in AFS, Mentoring was able to
meet the expectations of those involved and meet their learning needs.
The general and learning evaluations indicated a reasonable level of satisfaction and a
perception that the Program brought benefits and contributed to the understanding about
of the AFS by the participants. AFS mentoring via distance education can be an alternative
viable for those who do not have access to face-to-face training or who prefer a
more flexible and adaptable approach to your needs. Therefore, it is important
continue to explore and develop new ways of teaching AFS in order to promote
a more sustainable and conscious agriculture.
