Dialogue in a distance education physics course
This study investigated the kinds of dialogues utilized by Open University students while studying an intermediate level physics course. Research objectives were twofold: to document what dialogue types, mediated through which resources, were (1) generally utilized by students as they learned; and (2) were specifically utilized by students to overcome conceptual difficulties. It was found that ...

It is assumed that learning is mediated by intrapersonal dialogue and facilitated by interpersonal dialogue. Every resource in a distance education instructional system (eg, instructor availability, asynchronous communication networks, self-instruction te...
متن کاملTheory of Instructional Dialogue: A New Paradigm for Distance Education
Given the status of Transaction Distance Theory as a theoretical base for distance education, we reviewed (Gorsky & Caspi, 2005) published empirical studies that attempted to support or to validate the theory (Moore, 1993). We found that either data only partially supported the theory or, that if they apparently did so, the studies lacked reliability, construct validity, or both. Furthermore, w...

One of the biggest challenges facing distance education programs is that of attrition. One potential way of reducing attrition is to foster a sense of community among students. Students who are emotionally and intellectually invested in each other and in their program are more likely to prosper in a multi-year distance program. This paper briefly explores those effects ascribed to community tha...
