学习理论与远程教育成本-效益实现路径研究

Learning Theory and Improved Path of Cost-effectiveness of Distance Education

成本-效益是远程教育可持续发展的关键。本文从远程教育发展历程中学习理论变化的视角，探讨由学习理论演变带来的远程教育成本结构的变化，进而提出现代远程教育成本-效益实现的可能路径。研究认为，远程教育学习模式背后的学习理论，从独立学习与自主学习演变到今天基于社会建构主义和联通主义的学习，社会性交互的重要性日益突出，从而使得用户而非内容成为机构的核心价值，这种基于梅特卡夫定律的价值实现决定了未来远程教育实现成本-效益的可能。因此，远程教育需要从大规模用户、基于数据挖掘的精确定制服务以及网络价值衍生的互补性服务着手，实现其市场价值。研究认为，远程教育成本-效益的实现路径，取决于经过实践证明的代表时代特殊性的远程教育学习理论。

Realizing cost-effectiveness is the key to sustainable development of distance education. In this paper， we discusses the development of the learning theory and how it impacts on the cost structure of distance education， then explores the possible and effective implementation path of online flexible learning. This study begins from the analysis of learning theory for each generation of distance education， then explores the cost structure of traditional distance education and today 爷 s e-learning， and finally defines the relationship between learning theory and cost-effectiveness of distance education. The paper suggests that learning theory has developed from independent learning and self-regulated learning to today's social constructivism and connectivism learning. The importance of social interaction is increasingly prominent， and the user rather than the content becomes the core value of the institution. Increase in the number of learners in online education is not like traditional education that brings the possibility of economies of scale. The author the value obtained from online education services is divided into two parts， which are value for network and value for individual. This network value implementation of Metcalfe's Law determines the possibility of cost-benefit realization of distance education in the future. Therefore ， firstly， realizing the market value of distance education should concentrate on large -scale users， because a large scale decreases the cost of learners getting their individual value. Secondly ，we should provide precise customization services based on data mining. Thirdly， we must pay more attention to complementary services from network， such as recruitment services. To conclude， interaction is the key to connection and network formation. The success of learning is dependent on large high -quality interaction， and we need to build the right business model based on the new learning model. Because the learning theory for distance education has transferred from independent learning to social constructivism and connectivism learning， the cost structure of distance education would also be changed to high quality learning services. In a sentence， improved approach of cost-effectiveness of distance education is dependent on the learning theory that has been proven practical and effective.
