The Distance Learning Program was implemented in 1984 by Ikipujung Pandang University to provide training opportunities for nondegree secondary school teachers in isolated rural areas of eastern Indonesia whereby they did not have to attend classes on a regular, full-time basis at a conventional educational institution. The program focuses on providing additional knowledge in subject matter fields and teaching skills. The basic instructional medium is the printed course book which provides a self-instruction package including an activities book, worksheet, and answer sheet dealing with a single conceptual unit of a subject matter. The program is operated at 15 learning centers located in local secondary schools where students come on weekday afternoons or Sundays to pick up materials, attend group discussions, receive tutoring, or take examinations. Forty-eight tutors with bachelors' or masters' degrees in education with major emphasis in the subject matter field they tutor are involved in the program. Program evaluation has identified problems concerning students' learning difficulties (particularly those related to study development and problems with the self-directed learning system), development and distribution of learning modules, geographic isolation, and the learning centers. Similar to results of conventional education at the university, over 90% of students in the distance program passed the final examination. (NEC)
