略论远程教育的实质

The Essence of Distance Education

对于远程教育实质的探讨 ,既可以从远程教育的历史发展来研究 (远程教育的社会实质 ) ,也可以从远程教育的基本矛盾来研究 (远程教育的一般实质 )。由此出发 ,本文考察了“工业化理论”和“晚现代性理论”、“交互影响距离和学习者自主理论”和“有指导的教学会谈理论”等。

This paper provided two ways of find out distance education's essence. One was through studying the distance education history to find out its social essence. The other was to get its common essence by studying its basic contradictions. Industrialization theory, late modernity theory, theories of alternative affect distance and learner in independence and instructive conversation theory were discussed. At last a new definition was given to 'distance education'.
