Thomas Kuhn:
STRUCTURE OF SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTIONS
(1962)
Paradigms are essentially scientific theories or ways of looking at the world that fulfill two requirements: they must be "sufficiently unprecedented to attract an enduring group of adherents away from competing modes of scientific activity," and they must be "sufficiently open-ended to leave all sorts of problems for the redefined group of practitioners to resolve"
Open learning
Interesting learning situation that helps students to be more responsible for what and where they learn, and as well how they learn and what the gained knowledge worth.
(Scriven, 1991)
Flexible learning
Satisfies the unique learning needs Demands greater responsibility
from students Uses resources more efficient Gives the ability for differenciated
learning Uses own developments
Distance education
The three generations of distance education: Single medium - mail model
(low-level interaction) Multimedia model
(Open University) Information technology – telelearning
model(USA)
Flexible and open learning on BDF
From 1999-2000:Foundations of information technology:2 semesters, 2 lessons per week
What do we want to reach? Teaching information technology to
make students get used to open and flexible learning methods
Research: does open and flexible learning help teaching without teachers being there all time, with the help of the intranet of the college?
HipothesysIf students have a good grounding in
information technology, then they can be educated without the presence of teachers, with using the intranet of the college.
Datas: Number of students: 314 Students who are educated using flexible
and open learning methods: 93

Survey
Before starting education we made a survey to get a picture about the relationship between the students and modern technology, about how do they relate to the internet, computers and to networks. Some of these results are show on the next diagrams.
Research and getting the results of the survey are still in progress.In the next year we make the whole examination again, with more students and with using the experiences of this year.

The following four diagrams show the achievement of the special and the traditional groups.
The achievement of the special groups (8 groups) are marked red, the achievement of the traditional groups are marked blue.
The last diagram shows the average score of the groups in the last four tests.
According to the diagrams, the following statements can be made: there’s no significant difference between the achievement of the groups trained by the ODL method and the groups trained with the traditional face-to-face method.
