The object of this research proposal is contemplated in the line of Labor, Education and Society because it is a study on the issue of casualization of teaching in higher education in the form of distance education and refers to the process of commodification of higher education and especially distance education and the impact on the profession through the subordination of knowledge to the imperatives of capital in the reference period 2000 to 2010. The overall goal of the research is to understand the process of casualization of teaching from the commodification of higher education and especially distance education and the impact on the profession tutor. The other objectives are divided into identifying the extent to which this occurs deprofessionalization teacher education tracking, check occurs as the relaxation of labor relations in HEIs and private or public offering distance education through the processes of recruitment, career planning, execution wages and social guarantees in the form of distance education in reference period 2000 to 2010. The methodology used is based on the use of bibliographic references that deal with the theme, documents and interviews with teachers working in Distance Education in HEIs in the Triangulo Mineiro region. In the case of distance education, the figure of the tutor, although the link between the educational institution and the students, as noted, is undervalued, due to ignorance of the importance of it in the learning process. Before the study it was found that the tutor, in most courses, is the only human contact staff with the student during the teaching. He is a professional who encourages and guides students in learning and to continue on course. It was also perceived as a worrying factor that teaching in distance education is strongly affected by the conditions of work, remuneration, number of students per teacher, lack of labor protection and pedagogical attention. Regarding the regulatory aspect, it is observed that there is instability in the labor and lack pedagogical and regulations with respect to schedules and workloads of work, among other things. Thus, although the distance is regulated in a more general level, it lacks in terms of labor regulations. Unions still vacillating position themselves with regard to the protection of labor rights of professionals involved in this process.
