요약 : The Bahamas is a small developing island nation on the periphery of the West Indies. It comprises some 700 islands with substantive populations on 22 of them. The established post-secondary education centers are located in Nassau, the capital. About one-third of the 305,000 inhabitants of the country live on islands scattered between Florida, Cuba, and Haiti. The possibility of developing distance education as a means of meeting the post-secondary education needs of Bahamians on Family Islands and others has been under discussion for some two decades. This issue of the non-development of distance education for The Bahamas was the focus of the present study.
초록/해제  
요약 : The purpose of the study was to assess the possible effectiveness of using Meacham and Zubair's (1992) five-factor model as a planning tool for developing a framework for a distance education system in The Bahamas. The assessment involved taking cognizance of relevant contexts of The Bahamas, identifying elements of those contexts that operate as either enhancers or barriers to the development of a distance education system, and developing the framework for a plan for the introduction of a post-secondary distance education system in The Bahamas.
초록/해제  
요약 : The research for the study was undertaken using a mixed methodology approach. A qualitative component undertook the reviewing of documents that had addressed the issue of distance education for The Bahamas. A quantitative segment gathered data from members of the faculties of two colleges: The College of The Bahamas and the Bahamas Baptist Community College. These data show the lecturers' perceptions of the educational technologies---their experience with the use of technologies, how the technologies may help meet the country's educational needs, and the faculty member's willingness, or lack thereof, to adopt a distance education system. A second qualitative component carried out a number of formal and informal interviews. Current and former administrators of colleges, educational officers, the consultant and school principals of the Ministry of Education, and middle management college administrators gave their opinions through interviews.
초록/해제  
요약 : Organization of the data was done to obtain answers to six initial research questions posed in the first chapter of the study. These data were presented under the categories of documentary, survey, interview, and literature date pertinent to each question. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
