4 Industrialization & Distance Education Rationalization - teacher's knowledge and skills are delivered to unlimited numbers of students at a distance and with uniform quality. Division of Labor - a fundamental prerequisite for D.E. to be effective (Course developers are not course evaluators). Mechanization - conventional education operates at a pre-industrial level. D.E. applies technologies. Assembly Line - D.E. staff remain at their posts but materials are passed on. Mass Production - Many learners at many locations learning concurrently.

Planning and Preparation - D.E. is characterized by extensive planning by senior staff. Standardization - D.E. teaching is constant for all learners. Functional Changes and Objectification - The functional role of the teacher is split into: 1. provider of knowledge (unit author) 2. evaluator (tutor) 3. counselor (advisor) Monopolization - Concentration and centralization within state or nation are common.

"Finally, the most fundamental and most important characteristic of a profession is that the skills involved are founded upon a body of intellectual theory and research. Furthermore, this systematic theory is constantly being expanded by research."

Research – an Example A comparison of local learners to distant learners in three courses CourseMeanLocalDistant #1285.4285.9284.2 #23.363.23.52 #3660.1652.7673.5 CourseMeanLocalDistant #1285.4285.9284.2 #23.363.23.52 #3660.1652.7673.5

16 Copyright © 2003 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. Research Conclusions Students value distance education but prefer traditional education. Distant learners learn as well as traditional learners. Teaching effectiveness improves if it: –is carefully planned –uses structured note-taking –uses visuals –is taught by trained teachers Students value distance education but prefer traditional education.

What Works – Distance Education Carefully planned instruction Structured note-taking - interactive study guides Visualizations of concepts Less than 4 remote sites Almost anything that works in a regular classroom - if it is planned Carefully planned instruction Structured note-taking - interactive study guides Visualizations of concepts Less than 4 remote sites Almost anything that works in a regular classroom - if it is planned

18 Copyright © 2003 by Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved. What Doesn't Work – Distance Education Poorly planned instruction Unstructured note-taking Talking head lectures More than 4 remote sites Almost everything, if it isn't planned carefully Poorly planned instruction Unstructured note-taking Talking head lectures More than 4 remote sites Almost everything, if it isn't planned carefully
