Distance Learning a Place for Application of Independence Learner Theory
Introduction: With the arrival of new communication technologies, the process of learning from the teacher to the learner’s pivot with emphasis on the centrality of the learner has an independence movement and in determining the methods of teaching and assessment practices. On this basis the independence of the learner is one of the fundamental concepts of remote education system. The aim ...
متن کاملA Critical Analysis of Transactional Distance Theory
formal philosophical definitions to concrete, operational ones caused ambiguity, at best, and collapse of the theory, at worst. The problem with philosophical approaches to dialogue is that they are highly idealized and prescriptive. They tell us how people should relate to each other and what outcomes should result from dialogue. They do not tell us, however, what real dialogues look like, sou...
متن کاملRevisiting Transactional Distance Theory in a Context of Web- Based High-School Distance Education
The purpose of this paper is to report on a study that considered Transactional Distance Theory (TDT) in a current technology context of web-based distance education (DE) in a high school environment. Data collection relied on semistructured interviews conducted with 13 e-teachers and seven other personnel within an organization responsible for high-school distance education in Newfoundland and...
متن کاملDistance Education in the Digital Era and Connectivism Theory
Background: With the arrival of the industrial Century, the educational system changed and different forms of education, including distance Education were created. Firstly, distance education based on traditional learning theories, but because that these theories are not able to respond and solve the challenges facing the education system in the modern century connectivism theory was creat...
متن کاملRegularized Distance Metric Learning: Theory and Algorithm
In this paper, we examine the generalization error of regularized distance metric learning. We show that with appropriate constraints, the generalization error of regularized distance metric learning could be independent from the dimensionality, making it suitable for handling high dimensional data. In addition, we present an efficient online learning algorithm for regularized distance metric l...
