Abstract

Knowledge is a necessary condition for any kind of progress in our society, and the teacher is an important factor in transferring knowledge. Distance learning enables the transfer of knowledge from one place to another. There are different methods of operating DL (videoconference, internet, satellite), each with its advantages and disadvantages. DL is accepted as an innovation in the field of education and instruction. However, any change in education is only as effective as the ability of the teachers to successfully accommodate the change. This study evaluates the level and quality of the teacher-learner interaction and included three phases: a) Defining the circumstances and situations where the research can be performed; b) Constructing research tools and proving their reliability and validity; c) Operating the research - collecting information on the teacher-learner interaction. During the past three years our research team worked on the first two phases of the research.
