| Abstract (Englisch): | How do children and young people fare in a university that was set up primarily for adults? The first Vice-Chancellor of The Open University, Sir Walter Perry, believed that ‘to follow such a course of study in isolation demands qualities of maturity that would usually be lacking in people as young as 18’. His assumption that distance learning equates with studying in isolation might be considered questionable because of the personal support available from both tutors and contacts with fellow students, both course-specific and social – increasingly possible with the new digital technologies. The concept of the ‘independent learner’ is a more positive description and recognised as a particular strength by employers. The question of ‘maturity’ is more complex and is something that will be covered later in this paper. (DIPF/Orig.) |
