Özet

As the number of higher institutions of music education which offer computer-mediated distance instruction increase, there are important points to take into consideration regarding their design and evaluation. This article proposes a sample model which is a blend of Cohen’s model for assessing distance learning instruction and the evaluation phase of ADDIE (which stands for Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) model. Cohen’s model is based on six constructs: The process of teaching and learning, developing a community of learners, the instructor, the Student, implementation of the course, and use of technology. The evaluation phase of ADDIE model is comprised of two sub-stages: Formative evaluation which runs parallel to the learning process to evaluate the quality of instructional materials and their reception by the students and summative evaluation which is used to prove that the performed training had a positive effect after the course is finished.This paper examines each construct by reviewing the research in the field and makes recommendations for the design and evaluation of a distance learning course on music theory. It is suggested that computer-mediated distance learning instruction should be strictly based on theories of learning to ensure that students receive high quality instruction.
