追随与超越——现代远程教育理论架构中的碎思

Follow up and go beyond: Pieces of thought in theoretical framework of modern distance education

在现代远程教育理论架构的过程中,我们将首先直面学习理论、教学理论和课程理论。然而,当今学习理论从纷争到混合,教学理论从对立到渗透,课程理论从开发到理解,其自身嬗变和相互关联,正是远程教育理论所需要的追随与超越。

Giving impetus to modern distance education calling urgently for sustain of theory. As a special education form, modern distance education should not only follow the basic principles of education, but even more, to establish a theoretical system conforming to its own features. This article will offer some considerations around the inner changes of learning theory, teaching theory, and course theory and their connections in combination with distance education theory from multiple angles and in a non-continuous way. The author in this article divided the traditional learning theory into two camps from the angle of objectivism and subjectivism. He introduced to us the evolution of various learning theories from wrangle to mixture and made analysis of the time length and adaptable period of behaviorism, cognitivism and constructivism. Then he analyzed the academic nature of distance education and explored into the developing process of teaching theory from confliction to penetration. He agrees that only when learning theories combine with the teaching theories, can they indicate continuity and innovation. At the end of the article, the author explored further the research development of the course theory and laid particular emphasis on course construction of distance education, which usually contains understanding of the course and development of the course. He then further discussed the connotations and relationship between the two.
