Abstract:
The study aims to examine the distance learning system in improving
students' skills in the use of computer skills in education. The researcher
followed the descriptive method, as well as the Experimental method, where a
questionnaire consisting of )22( items was developed, after verifying validity
and consistency. It was distributed electronically to a sample of )171( students
from the various colleges of the University of Sharjah, using the )SPSS(
package, In statistical treatment. It shows statistically significant differences
estimates towards this role, and in favor of the group of students who spent more
than two years at the university, and those with scientific disciplines. Thus, all
null hypotheses were rejected in this study. The researcher recommended a
review of the successful experiments and faltering experiences in the field of
distance learning, and identifying causes of success failure, in order to be used
in developing the appropriate strategy for distance learning.
