Description

Distance education is a mode of education that focuses on teaching methods and technology with the aim of delivery of teaching often as an individual basis to the students who are not physically present in a traditional educational setting such as classroom.  It has been described as “a process to create and provide access to learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance or both”.  It is an opportunity to learn at their pace, place and convenience of the learner. The present study reports about perception of distance education students on Institutional Climate.  Scale on Institutional Climate developed and standardized by Karuppasamy, M & Muthumanickam, A. (2014) was adopted for the present study. The result indicates that perception towards Institutional Climate among B.Ed. students is satisfactory and some of the independent variables exert a significant influence on the same.
