Kuramlar, bir olguyu betimlemek, yönetmek ve değerlendirmek için kullanılabilecek anlayış geliştirme çabası olarak ifade edilebilir. Bu yönüyle kuramlar aslında oldukça pratiktirler. Kuramlar birer harita gibi bizlere bilinen yerler hakkında bilgiler verirken bilinmeyen yerleri de görmemizi sağlarlar. Kuramlar başta araştırmaların yürütülmesi olmak üzere Açık ve Uzaktan Öğrenme (AUÖ) uygulamalarının tasarlanması, organizasyonel yapılarının şekillenmesi, ortak bir dil birliğinin sağlanması, bütüncül bir bakış açısının oluşturulması ve alanın akademik kimliğinin oluşmasında önemli rollere sahiptirler. AuÖ alanında uygulama ve araştırma...
