Abstract
With the rapid development of information technology, computer and information communication literacy has become extremely important. As a result, teachers require new skills. A new teachers’ education framework is necessary to enhance multimedia teaching skills and information literacy about the Internet environment. The purpose of this study is to propose and develop a Distance Educational Model, which is a School-Based Curriculum Development and Training-System (SCOUTS). In this environment, a teacher can learn subject contents, teaching knowledge, and evaluation methods of students’ learning activities, related to the new subject called “Information”, via an Internet based self-training system. In this paper, we describe the structure, function and mechanism ofthe Distance Educational Model, and then describe the educational meaning of this model in consideration of the new learning ecology, which is based on multi-modality and new learning situations and forms.
