电大发展到今天,已经20年有余。这20年,大体可以分为前后两个阶段。前10年,是电大高歌猛进的10年。那时,电大在全国远程教育中是“一枝独秀”,或曰:“只此一家,别无分店”。可是在最近10年,电大却遇到了前所未有的挑战。首先是各成人高校之间的生源大战;接着是多媒体教学手段的大发展,使电大传统的远距离教学手段(录音、录像)相形见绌;最后是普通高校的连年扩招,使电大的生源更趋萎缩。面对这一次次的挑战和冲击,电大人的回答是,“以竞争求生存!”于是,电大进入了“竞争的10年”;与其他成人高校争,与普通高校争,与自考争,与社会各种办学力量争……。但是,寒来暑往,春秋代序,这10年竞争的结果又如何呢?实话实说,结果并不令人乐观。再说,总是这么争来争去的,什么时候是个头儿呢?却好,最近,我们听到一种不同的声音,这就是;跳出竞争的怪圈,“以合作求生存,以互助求发展”。笔者认为,这是关于电大发展的一种新理 TVU to today, more than 20 years.

In the face of this time and again the challenges and shocks, the EA’s answer is “to survive in competition!” Thus, the TV University has entered a “competitive decade”; competing with other adult colleges and universities, competing with ordinary colleges and universities, And all kinds of social strength in school ... .... However, what is the result of the 10-year competition brought about by the cold, the heat and the autumn, and the truth is that the result is not optimistic. Besides, when we always strive for something like this, when is the head? Well, lately, we have heard a different voice. This is what we call the “cycle of competition,” “seeking cooperation for survival and mutual assistance for development” ". The author believes that this is a development of the NTU
