Distance Education Programming Barriers in Business Education Teacher Preparation Programs in the United States
Overview & Synopsis
Distance education has been viewed by some individuals as a means to break down barriers to accessing educational opportunities. Despite its "anytime, anyplace" label, distance education can present unique barriers to students, faculty, and the educational institutions that attempt to provide it. This study examined the perceptions of business education teacher educators in the United States with respect to these barriers. The study also sought to determine demographic characteristics of the educational institutions involved in the utilization of distance education in business education teacher preparation, including the number of distance education courses, programs offered, and the categorical breakdown of those courses. While specifically focused on business education teacher preparation, the study offers findings and recommendations applicable to other subject areas within teacher preparation considering distance education as a delivery mechanism.
