摘要：Este estudo avaliou a participação de professores de Biologia em um curso de formação continuada na modalidade a distância (EaD). Foram analisados os motivos pela busca desse curso, época do ano mais propícia, as dificuldades e razões para evasão. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas de forma triangulada, dois entrevistadores e um entrevistado. Os docentes entrevistados foram professores envolvidos em um curso de formação continuada em EaD divididos em três grupos: inscritos, evadidos no decorrer do curso e concluintes. Os resultados mostram que há interesse dos docentes em participar de cursos de formação continuada EaD devido, sobretudo, à flexibilidade de horários diante da jornada de trabalho. A temática do curso é um motivador para participação dos professores; a época mais propícia é no primeiro semestre do ano. A evasão de alguns cursistas ocorreu pela falta de tempo, dedicado prioritariamente às atividades na escola. Os resultados obtidos nessa pesquisa podem auxiliar na construção de cursos de formação continuada para professores a distância.Palavras-chave: Educação a distância, Professores de biologia, Formação continuada. Evaluation of the Participation of Biology Teachers in an On-Line Course: Difficulties And PerspectivesAbstractThis study evaluated the participation of biology teachers in an on-line in-service formation course (ead).

formation course (ead). We analyzed the purpose of choosing this course, the
most favorable period of year and evasion motives. The reports of teachers were
collected by a semi structured interview in triangulated way, two interviewers
and one interviewed. The interviewed were teachers involved in a on-line inservice formation courses, divided in three groups: subscribed teachers, evaded
throughout the course and concluding. The results shown there is interest from
the teachers to participate in on-line in-service courses with distance learning,
due to the flexibility of time facing the work journey. The theme of the course is
a motivation factor for the participation of the teachers and the most favorable
period is in the first semester of the year. The evasion of some teachers occurred
due to lack of time, devoted primarily to activities at school. The results obtained
