電大遠程開放教育成本結構的實證研究

Case Study on the Cost Structure Of Open and Distance Education in Radio & TV University

本文基于教育经济学的成本理论，并结合电大系统远程开放教育的特点，创建了分别对中央电大、省级电大和地市级电大的远程开放教育的成本结构分析模式。基于该模型，笔者对某地市级电大2003-2006年的成本结构进行了实证分析。研究发现，电大远程开放教育具有比较明显的规模经济效应，验证了传统的远程教育经济理论。最后，作者还就地市级电大如何加强成本控制提出了建议。

Based on the cost theory of economics of education and the characteristic of Radio & TV University’s open and distance education， the author puts forward the cost structure analysis model for the central Radio & TV University， the provincial level Radio & TV University and the city level Radio & TV University. With this model， the author has demonstrated the cost structure of a city-level Radio & TV university during 2003-2006. The research discovers that the Radio & TV University’s open and distance education results in the great benefits. The findings verifies the economic theory of traditional distance learning. At the same time， the author suggests the ways of cost control for the city level Radio & TV University.
