META-INSTRUCTION IN E-EDUCATION

This paper is a conceptual one focused on assisted instruction in e-society, developed as an appropriate approach for e-education. Assisted instruction is situated between traditional education and blended learning style, and it requires a different paradigm, according to the main tendencies of our environment: the faster changing technologies and the slower systematic implementations in e-education. The new paradigm is proposed as a suitable orientation of the educational research related to e-science and e-business. The study is developed starting from the central concept of the e-society, qualifications. A conceptual paradigm of the e-society is structured in introduction and a functional paradigm is presented in a conceptual framework. The interrelationships between the building blocks of the assisted instruction in e-education are designated in a theoretical framework. A paradigm of meta-instruction, based on assisted individual study and standard assisted instruction applications, related to Bloom's taxonomy and concepts map approach is proposed in an analytical framework In this context, it is highlighted a different vision of the connection between ontology and epistemology related to methodology and methods in e-education.
