Evidence¶

Markus Deimann and Robert Farrow. (2013). Rethinking OER and their Use: Open Education as Bildung. International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, Vol 14 No 3. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1017477 doi:10.19173/irrodl.v14i3.1370

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

Theoretical argument in the article's framing section: the authors state, citing Nyberg (1975) and Peters (2008a), that "open education lacks a solid theoretical framework." The article offers this as a scholarly assertion motivating the paper, not as an empirical test.

"It has been consistently suggested that open education lacks a solid theoretical framework. This was the case in earlier writings on the Philosophy of Open Education (Nyberg, 1975) and has continued up to this day (Peters, 2008a)."
