Distance Learning a Place for Application of Independence Learner Theory

Introduction: With the arrival of new communication technologies, the process of learning from the teacher to the learner’s pivot with emphasis on the centrality of the learner has an independence movement and in determining the methods of teaching and assessment practices. On this basis the independence of the learner is one of the fundamental concepts of remote education system. The aim of the present study was to investigate the independence of the theory in distance education system with the aim of paying attention to individual differences and providing diverse educational opportunities in order to improve the quality of teaching-learning process. Methods: This article is a review and library one. In its edition of internet searches using the major search engines and databases including Magiran, Noormags, Scientific Information Database, Science direct, Google Scholar and library studies published in books and scientific papers have been used. The English sources ranged from the year 1380 to 1394 English resources and timeframe of the year 1981 by the year 2013. Results: Distance learning method is based on the principle of self-learning and training materials in the preparation of the high importance of the tutorial. Freedom of thought, creative thinking, accountability and its features are the creation of distance education in the wake of the realization of the They have been trying to satisfy the needs of the learner the age of information and communication technology. Distance learning for becoming a modern education system, is necessary to have a theoretical base and the theory of processing. That’s why those who are to provide the theory in distance education venture have the consistency and power of the new education system. Including the theory, the theory of Independent learner is the theorist, Charles Wedemeyer. Conclusion: Distance education and its modern evolution theory have been able to establish that in the process of teaching-learning whereby learning more efficient control, deep be more stable and more learner, because the basis of distance education based on the learner autonomy. Accountability, autonomy, self discovery, and its search for of the obvious features of the learner in this system that is never in the traditional education system, these features are not. Hope is enjoying the most out of this educational system, improve the quality of teaching-learning process of the mankind and provide.
