Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the attitudes of students regarding their participation in distance postgraduate studies in Greek music and dancing and the evaluation of their advisors-teachers, teaching materials and course, affected by the assessment about the prospects of evolution offered by the course. The survey involved 95 students of the course ELP40 of the Hellenic Open University. The questionnaire used was part of the Greek version (Theodorakis, 1994) by the "Questionnaire of Planned Behavior" of Ajzen and Madden (1986), and more specifically the factor “attitudes”. Even in the questionnaire there were three factors considered relevant “teaching material”, “course” and “advisor-teacher”. The results showed high scores of internal consistency (Cronbach's a) for all factors. The results indicated marginal difference for the factor "attitudes" and differences on other factors. More specifically, students who believe that the course gives them the right prospects of evolution showed higher scores in all factors of the students who do not have the same assessment. In conclusion, it appears that the prospects of evolution constitute factor of differentiation for the attitude of the students but also for the evaluation of the “teaching material”, “advisor-teacher” and the “course” in total.
