Opis

Distance education has been seen as a potential solution to help women achieve their educational goals while maintaining their domestic roles. Therefore this book provides a study on identifying the relationship between the Arab women's dialog and their perceptions of distance education, their personal relevance with the distance education paradigm, and their life affiliations within a distance education environment. A sample of 150 active female learners at a university in Palestine was surveyed. A response rate of 80% was obtained. In addition, 8 females from the responses were interviewed by telephone. The findings indicated that life affiliations had no significant differences on the women's dialog measures through distance education. However, the personal relevance & the perceptions about distance education were significantly related to the concept of women's dialog. The book addresses a significant importance on women learners in the Arab world, and support the evidence that distance education is a solution to overcome educational barriers.
