Strategies for distance education

Attributes students study remotely : The primary goal of the student is learning in the best of circumstances , this challenge requires strong motivation and good planning and the ability to analyze and apply the information that has been studied . In the field of distance learning , education becomes more difficult and complicated for several reasons : Many of the students in this area of the elderly and the staff and owners of families , so they have to respect the coordination between learning in different walks of life, among other aspects of life .

 There are several reasons as well as the education they have, some of them is interested in the collection of a degree to qualify for a better job , and many are pursuing study in the interest of their culture and not in order to get a diploma .

 The difficulty of this type of student learning in isolation and not mixing with other students of which leads to the absence of the spirit of competition and communication. Also lacks the student to direct reinforcement , guidance and direction needed . Also miss the direct role of the teacher to clarify the points that need to be clarified.

 In addition, these students and teachers find they have a few common denominators in terms of dating and everyday experiences , leading to the need for more time to find a common relationship between them.

 In this education technology relies on the fact that the mediator carrier of information and communication . Which requires students and teachers cope with these technical regulations , the contact becomes forbidden .

     Students study the evolution of ( remote ) to learnersFreshmen students may face some difficulty in determining the academic requirements of real substance to the lack of direct assistance and guidance , and the lack of direct supervisor or to not get used to dealing with the technical means used. It may not be educated and confident in themselves and what they learn .

 Presumably ( Morgan ) that students study ( remote ) is confident of acquiring and understand what they are learning and this tend to save the details and facts in order to end the homework and sit for the exams , which leads to weakness in the understanding of the requirements of the study. He called this type of memorizing facts and details of the entrance surface for education and summed up as follows :

     Focus on the signals ( such as text and instructions ) .
     Focus on the elements .
     Save the information and methods to prepare for the exam .
     No link between the facts and concepts .
     Failure to distinguish between principles and evidence , and information between ancient and modern .
     Dealing with duties as something imposed by the supervisor , and the separation of knowledge from reality because of the requirements of the surface interest worksheets and exams.The students in distance education need more ability to focus on learning new material , and this requires that turns learning from the entrance level surface to the entrance of a deeper level . Morgan summarizes the crowbar as follows :

     Focus on what is important ( the arguments of teachers ) .
     Discrimination and connecting new ideas with the knowledge of old.
     Link the concepts of daily experience .
     Linking and distinguish what is installed and moot .
     Organize and arrange the content of the article.
     Emphasis on linking educational material reality pension.


    Development of distance education : how to prepare learners for learners afterThe development of this type of surface learning to deep learning is not automatic . It is suggested Brundage and Makenzon that adult students and teachers have to face a number of challenges and overcome them before that the process of the study: to assume the responsibilities themselves owning control over their forces and their desires and their skills and their needs , clarify and explain what they have learned and to maintain self-esteem , and observance definition of legitimacy knowledge and dealing with the content. One of the challenges that must be taken into account :

     The ability to take responsibility for self-Scholars needed in workshops distance education to highly motivated until the interest of them, and because the daily interaction between teachers and students is absent , the able teachers to provide the students the feedback rapid and permanent , and encourage debate among scholars , and encourage and reinforce study habits effective .

     Possession of power , desires , skills , and needsStudents need to know their abilities to their limit , and find out what they will learn the goals . The teachers are able to reveal the capabilities of the learners and the extent of their knowledge of the objectives , by creating the role of her assistant in the learning process . The creation of opportunities for the participation of learners in the experiences of learning materials , helps to make what Atamlonh meaningful and increases the motivation to learn.

     To maintain the self-esteem and increaseWhat worries students in distance education is the fear of lack of success in the material they teach . Understanding offsetting between several responsibilities : the job and take responsibility for the family. Often does not know who they are working with them scholars , as well as perhaps unaware that their family members. And that will enhance their performance if they devoted a good time to their studies , and if they won an encouragement of the family. The teachers are able to keep the Hamas student self , by giving immediate feedback . It is important that teachers respond to students' questions and duties and interests humanely comfortable , through the use of appropriate technologies such as fax, phone or computer. The explanatory notes which do personal performance of the learner , and to propose methods of improvement and development is one of the cofactors in this area .

    Relationship with othersStudents learn in an effective manner when it is available to them the field of interaction with other students , the interaction between the learners leads to collective cooperation in solving problems , and when it is to meet the learners impossible , the technical means of virtual interaction , such as e-mail must be met in order to encourage small groups and bilateral meetings . As to the duties that her students work together , and that display in front of the whole class , encourage interaction among students , it should confirm the teacher's instructions clear and practical objectives of the duties of the collective .

     Redefining the real knowledge acquiredResearch indicates that adult learners may find it difficult to accept the fact that their experience and knowledge of their reactions are acquired . If the role of the teacher as facilitator and not something that the students will see their personal experiences in order to learn valuable coming. They can also make use of the consciences of the speakers in order to strengthen their own values ??and experiences and perspectives .

      Dealing with contentLearning is enhanced when students have secured keyed examples . And supports teachers in teaching style examples that they learned during their training . To be effective distance education , for teachers to discover examples are related experience and the reality of their pupils . The teacher should encourage students to use and develop better acquainted and examples linked to their community.

     ConclusionThat education and distance learning hard work . In all cases , it is possible to become a distance education meaningful deeply for the students , if the share of students and teachers the process of developing goals and educational strategies , and found interaction living among the students were encouraged to exchange experiences varied among them , and linking information with examples that promote and maintain the self-esteem , and evaluate what has been learned . This is the challenge and the opportunity provided by distance education.
