The Applications of Transactional Distance Theory and Educational Technology: Pertinent to the Advancement of Distance Education for Health Promotion
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
The primary discourse of this research paper is to discuss the applications of transactional distance theory as a foundation for health promotion education. There are various instructional principles which lessen the geographical distance to health promotion education. This paper identifies global theory as a new social technology. The global theory model is an example of how social cultural learning can develop independent study, promote health behavior and create learner autonomy. These methods engage interaction between learners and build communities of practice. Diverse theories of instructional strategies cultivate the exchange of health information by increasing dialogue and structure in the online environment.
