EVERYTHING FOR EVERYBODY? THE NEED FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION TO BE RELEVANT TO ALL ITS STUDENTS

摘要

Distance education institutions and lecturers need to become aware of the need for culturally appropriate education in order to skill their students for working in real life contexts. The Mind, Brain, and Education Science discipline provides well researched and useable results to make this a reality. Knowledge and use of effective learning strategies are necessary. Celebration of diversity is crucial, as well as providing tuition in such a way that students are guided to apply what they learn in their contexts. This is true, useable and sustainable "decolonisation of the curriculum".
