Frihet i tid och rum: En studie av distansutbildning på ett ungdomsgymnasium

Abstract

The pedagogical context of students in a distance education in an upper secondary school is in focus in this researchproject. The results are based on one year of observations of the computerised communication between the teacher and the students, a interview with the teacher and a fill out by the students. Concepts from the theory of transactional distance have been used to illustrate how the teacher and the students utilise the opportunities presented by the structure and communications in the computer-based distance education.
