Paper Abstract:
|
The main purpose of the paper is to describe the findings of a survey that was conducted to the adult students of the
Hellenic Open University (HOU) attempted to identify the main factors that contribute to their satisfaction of their
studies. Actually it is a first attempt to understand the needs and frustrations of the HOU distance learners based on their
own responses. The first part contains a brief introduction and a literature review of distance learners satisfaction and
finally a summary of adult learning theories based on the fact that distance learners are normally adults. The second part
describes the methodology of the survey and the results. A brief discussion and the limitations of the study are presented
with recommendations for further research. |
