To this end, we sought to gather evidence for a satisfactory approach that addresses the complexity of the subject studied: quality management, distance learning and quality in the Higher Education Institutions. We chose to adopt as a research method, case study on the procedure of the research, exploratory research-descriptive about the objective and quantitative research when tackling the problem. The object of the study were six graduate courses distance UFRN/SEDIS, having as target the students of the courses. The sample was calculated using the Stratified sampling on which 217 students, the courses surveyed were selected. The survey instrument consisted of 21 structured questions, of which seven questions designed to identify the profile of students, seven issues of perceptions (manifest variables) on quality management in distance learning, where students have given values (responses) for 24 statements (which address the central theme of this dissertation) composite based on a 5-point Likert s scale, and six questions about general characteristics that may interfere with students' perception about the quality. Was used as statistical method (data analysis), descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis. The results show the identification of four latent factors (obtained by exploratory factor analysis), namely: (1) infrastructure and management - polo presence, (2) teaching-learning processes, (3) communication tools and integration; (4) tutors. We also observed that aspects related to infrastructure and management at the pole face had the lowest score among the factors observed, requiring special attention by the education institution. On the other hand, teachers and teaching learning processes were the items with better performance in the perception of students. It is concluded that the perception of students in relation to quality in distance education courses, the median is trending positive perception, ie the perception of overall quality of the courses is not assertive and unison, but tends to positive perception. Thus, the results, it is expected that the managers of the institution to focus attention on critical points in order to minimize them (or eliminate them) and maximize the positive aspects that are perceived by the students / A presente disserta??o tem como objetivo geral analisar a percep??o dos discentes quanto ? qualidade dos cursos de gradua??o a dist?ncia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, que foi motivada pelo seguinte problema de pesquisa: qual a percep??o que os discentes da gradua??o a dist?ncia da UFRN tem sobre a qualidade no curso de gradua??o? Para tanto, buscou-se reunir elementos para uma abordagem satisfat?ria que contemple a complexidade da tem?tica pesquisada: Gest?o da qualidade, educa??o a dist?ncia e qualidade nas Institui??es de Ensino Superior. Optou-se por adotar como m?todo de pesquisa, o estudo de caso quanto ao procedimento da pesquisa, a pesquisa explorat?ria-descritiva quanto ao objetivo e a pesquisa quantitativa quando ? abordagem do problema. O objeto de estudo foram os seis cursos de gradua??o a dist?ncia da UFRN/SEDIS, tendo como popula??o alvo os discentes dos cursos. A amostra foi calculada por meio da amostra estratificada aleat?ria em que 217 discentes, dos cursos pesquisados, foram selecionados. O instrumento de pesquisa foi composto por 21 quest?es estruturadas, das quais 7 quest?es destinadas para identifica??o do perfil dos discentes; 7 quest?es de percep??es (vari?veis manifestas) sobre a gest?o da qualidade na EAD, em que os discentes atribuiram valores (respostas) para as 24 afirmativas (que abordam a tem?tica central dessa disserta??o) compostas com base na escala Likert de 5 pontos, e 6 quest?es acerca de especificidades gerais que podem interferir na percep??o dos discentes acerca da qualidade. Utilizou-se, como m?todo estat?stico (an?lise de dados), a estat?stica descritiva e an?lise fatorial explorat?ria. Os resultados mostram a identifica??o de quatro fatores latentes (obtidas por meio da an?lise fatorial explorat?ria), a saber: (1) infraestrutura e gest?o polo presencial; (2) processos de ensino-aprendizagem; (3) ferramentas de comunica??o e integra??o; (4) tutores. Foi observado, ainda, que aspectos relacionados a infraestrutura e gest?o no polo presencial tiveram a menor avalia??o dentre os fatores observados, necessitando de aten??o especial por parte da Institui??o de Ensino. Por outro lado, os professores e os processos de ensino aprendizagem foram os itens com melhor desempenho na percep??o dos discentes. Conclui-se que a percep??o dos discentes, em rela??o ? qualidade nos cursos a dist?ncia, ? mediana tendendo para percep??o positiva, ou seja, a percep??o acerca da qualidade geral nos cursos n?o ? assertiva e un?ssona, mas tende para percep??o positiva. Assim, de posse dos resultados, espera-se que os Gestores da Institui??o foquem sua aten??o nos pontos cr?ticos afim de minimiza-los (ou elimina-los) e maximizem os aspectos que t?m percep??o positiva por parte dos discentes
