Education Model

Dada la necesidad de contar con un modelo que supere los principales vacíos que, a nivel histórico-metodológico, se han identificado en estudios comparativos de educación a distancia y que vayan más allá de la mera descripción de situaciones o contextos educativos; en el Programa de Investigación en Fundamentos de Educación a Distancia (PROIFED) surge el interés de proponer un modelo para realizar este tipo de estudios, con el fin de desarrollarlos en redes flexibles de profesionales, que promuevan el intercambio de información para conocer cómo otras universidades dirigen y resuelven sus situaciones de conflicto y cómo proyectan su quehacer en la educación a distancia, abierta o en línea.  Se dispone el presente modelo, el cual procura ser integrador y articulado; abierto o adaptativo a algunos requerimientos específicos que la persona investigadora requiera, con el fin de fortalecer y promover el mejoramiento del modelo de educación a distancia de la Universidad Estatal a Distancia (UNED), Costa Rica.Palabras clave: Educación a distancia, Educación en línea, Educación abierta, Educología comparativa, Estudios comparativos, Red de profesionales.AbstractThe Research Program on Fundamentals of Distance Education of UNED Costa Rica proposes an analytical model for the generation of comparative studies among open, online and distance education universities and institutions. This model is intended to satisfy a historical and methodological vacuum identified in comparative studies that are usually limited to the mere descriptions of educational contexts and situations. The comparative studies proposed by this model, on the other hand, are thought to be developed by professionals assembled in flexible networks and to promote the exchange of information about the ways in which open, online and distance education universities confront and resolve their situational conflicts and how these universities project their work. This model for comparative studies is designed to be open, adaptable to specific requirements of researchers, and to strengthen and promote the improvement of the distance education model of UNED Costa Rica.Keywords: Distance learning, Online education, Open education, Comparative educology, Comparative studies, Professional networking

This study was aimed to determine the teacher candidates’ opinions about the efficiency of virtual classes. 173 voluntary teacher candidates who receive distance education at Near East University participated in this research. This research was conducted in the spring semester of 2014-2015 academic year. The results of 5-point Likert-type Scale which was developed by the researchers were analyzed with SPSS program. When the results of the research were analyzed, it was revealed that teacher candidates who receive distance education reported that, virtual classes are effective in learning, being in the virtual classes at the same time with their teachers increase the students’ interests in the lecture, the materials used in the lectures are more effective for students to understand the subject, the students get opinions from their classmates by making their presentations through file sharing in virtual class setting and this leads to a significant contribution to their learning. Keywords: distance learning, virtual classroom, bigbluebutton

Distance Education System

Open education becomes the important approach for education in the digital age and it plays a significant role in broadening educational access and increasing higher educational opportunities. The author of the chapter considers the basic principles and emerging trends in quality assurance of distance higher education in the digital age. Considering the intelligent distance education system as a dynamic, time-developing system, one can speak of the underlying computer imitation model that has an independent theoretical and practical value. The objective of this chapter is to explore how can information technologies influence the distance education quality assurance, specifically, to develop a conceptual framework for the intelligent distance education system. In addition to direct application for educational quality management system's evaluation, the simulation model can be used to solve a much wider range of tasks: forecasting, risk assessment, rating of courses, individual teachers, and individual institutions.
