In the name of study group Dr. Ugur DEMIRAY December-2008 Eskisehir, TURKEY xii ON DISTANCE EDUCATION CONCEPT AND IT’S RUNNING IN THE WORLD HISTORY OF THE OPEN EDUCATION FACULTY AND IT’S RUNNING IN TURKEY AIM OF THE STUDY SOME WORDS ABOUT THIS STUDY ON DISTANCE EDUCATION CONCEPT AND IT’S RUNNING IN THE WORLD Communication technologies have a manipulative power and effect on the field of education in general. These technologies have been increasingly used in education and training for many years to meet different needs. This situation, increasingly use of technologies in education and training, have brought up some new disciplines, or study fields, into education field. Distance education is one of the newest forms of education, which basically depends on these communication and information technologies. As a new and modern approach to deliver instruction, distance education has been increasingly used by many corporations and organizations for both formal and non-formal educational settings in the United States and all around the world. It has been realized by the corporations, institutions, colleges and universities that, when properly and timely used, distance education is one of the most effective, economical, and productive ways of delivering instruction. This fact caused them to employ distance education to deliver training and education to their personnel, clients and students in a costeffective way at a high quality. That is one of the reasons that distance education, has been receiving more attention recently, especially during the late 1980 and 1990. The reason for such a trend is clear: the challenge of delivering more training to more people on more subjects with higher impact and effectiveness, and in a much more effective way can be met efficiently through DE methods and techniques. While a new century is approaching, it seems that distance education is going to be one of the most widely used mode of delivering instruction in almost all areas, but especially in corporate training and education.

Large open universities enrolling over two million students have been established in Asia, including the Chinese Radio and Television University, the Sukhothai Trammathirat Open University (STOU) in Thailand, the Universitas Terbuka (UT) in Indonesia, and half-dozen open universities in India. Korea continues to rely on correspondence schools to meet its goal of universalizing secondary education - as Japan did until very recently. In the Middle East, distance learning institutions have also expanded. The Anadolu’s Open University in Turkey, with its over one million students, has already trained and graduated two hundred thousand teachers in recent, and its programs now reach more than two an half million Turkish citizens who are living in Germany end West Europe Countries. In addition, the Open High School (OHS) started to distance education in 1992-1993 academic year with 45.000 students and Open Primary School (OPS) in 1998, under Ministry of Education structure. But, it must not be forgotten that distance education system has some certain characteristics as a difference on being functional and reach to its target's aim of this system, according to the conventional systems. For this reason, many countries have adopted and put distance education in to practice for their multi-aimed on multi-functional
