“…perceptions as novice researchers who may need the support of dialogue, structure, and autonomy in their DE programmes. This current study provided desired tutor and advisor actions from the perspective of graduate students to optimise TD, highlighted the importance of individual student characteristics in course design (Benson & Samarawickrema, 2009;Huang, 2002;Huang et al, 2016;Stein et al, 2005), and established the importance of interaction and flexibility to meet students' learning needs.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore non-thesis Master’s students’ perceptions and expectations of good tutors and advisors in distance education programmes. It also examined whether these perceptions and expectations are related to student characteristics including age, gender, university, programme, semester, and previous online learning experience. The current study was conducted within the framework of Transactional Distance Theory. Using a mixed methods approach, a questionnaire was administered to 143 students in four programmes in two universities in Turkey and interviews were conducted with 11 of these students. Results showed that good tutors and advisors in distance education provide a stimulating student-centred learning environment, have a caring and individualised interaction and communication with students, and have subject expertise and basic technology skills. The results of this study will improve distance education tutors and advisors’ practices in supporting graduate students’ education and research.

Integrated curriculum is a popular way to develop 21st-century skills, but most of the materials are written on the books separately. Furthermore, web-based learning is an online learning media that can be accessed using an internet connection anytime and anywhere. However, many educational websites do not apply the principles of effective learning. Besides, the traditional learning methods tend to be bored for the students. In order to solve this problem, this study designed a website education that uses interactive content to assist students in learning levers in the human body topic as one of the integrated science materials. The process of developing an educational website consists of three steps: (1) analysis, (2) design, (3) construction making. This research method used descriptive method, and the experts' judgment will evaluate it on content, language, and media/IT. The questionnaires used the technology acceptance model (TAM) and five-dimensional interactivity to investigate the readability of the subjects' perception responses. The research subject was three science teachers and 31 students on private Junior High School in Bandung. According to the result, generally, it has a good evaluation of each aspect. But, the website education needs a strong signal to access for not taking load time consumer.

Abstract. The use of Transactional Distance Theory constructs [Moore, 1973;1993;2013] as predictors of student dropout in distance education (DE) [Moore, 1973;1993;2013] Resumo. O uso dos construtos da Teoria da Distância Transacional IntroduçãoO desenvolvimento da Educação a Distância (EAD) tem sido apoiado por teorias que apoiam o planejamento e a execução de cursos mais eficientes. As pesquisas na área refletem o crescimento dessa modalidade, à medida que buscam atenuar problemas decorrentes dessa expansão, como os altos índices de evasão ainda verificados nesses cursos.Para a maioria das instituições que participou do Censo Anual da EAD no Brasil em 2015, o grande obstáculo enfrentado foi a evasão nos cursos, quando para 40% das instituições pesquisadas, a taxa média de evasão foi entre 26% e 50% nos cursos totalmente ofertados a distância.Partindo de uma necessidade da aplicação de teorias da EAD, no sentido de auxiliar no enfrentamento de um dos desafios da modalidade, esta pesquisa enfocou a Teoria da Distância Transacional, proposta por Moore (1973, 1993, 2013) como marco teórico principal do estudo,
