Discovering leadership issues towards creating a friendly environment for Distance Education.
Abstract
This study seeks to develop the importance of distance education and helps improve different leadership skills through distance education. The document uses leadership theories to study the ability to create a friendly space to promote distance education in society. A sample of 392 students studying with the distance education model was taken, aged between 18 and 25 years. The details of distance education for each age group were examined. The results refute stereotypes about distance education, finding that distance education helps in the evaluation and implications of group affiliation and self-expression in academic activities.
