隔空教育理論之探討

An Overview of Distance Education Theories

本文宗旨在於分析評述各種隔空教育理論，以期建立完整而廣泛的隔空教育理論架構，作為敘述、解釋和預測隔空教育實施之參考。首先，我們建議隔空教育理論架構應包括三方面的理論，即獨立學習理論、傳播互動理論和工業化理論。其次，我們建議隔空教學應是隔空教育理論的重要概念，探討隔空教學，應分析知識結構、媒介特性和學習者屬性等關係，期建立多元媒介教學體系，發揮統整的教學功能。

This essay is an attempt to explore and describe some of the theoretical foundations of distance education. Also, it is recorded three parts. At the beginning, we indicate that the theories of distance education are related to the mainstream of educational thought and practice, and they are not merely a generic term. In second part, theories of distance education are classified into three groups: theories of autonomy and independence, theory of industralization and theories of interaction and communication. Finally, we focus on developing and elaborating a theoretical framework of distance learning based on the data grounded on the structure of knowledge and the characteristics of media and learners.
