Abstract

Distance learning university has unique characteristics. One of them is the amount of student which is usually larger than the conventional university. In order to serve its students better, both academic and administrative, the distan·ce learning university usually use uniform approach. The approach covers learning process and examinat:on component. The reason of using this approach is mainly based on mar.agerial factors. The uniform approach which is associated with behavioral learning theory limit the creativity of distance students to construct their knowledge. It is necessary for the distance learning students to have a broad spectrum of knowledge used in daily professional activities. The purpose of the present paper is to elaborate the possibilities of using other approgch that will be able to enhance student knowledge. Instead of using uniform or beh:tvioral approach, is it possible to apply constructivism theory in developing printed learning material to be used distance learning system.
