Book Review: Evaluation in Distance Teaching, Distance Teaching for the Third World

Publishing Material on Education in Papua New Guinea, Annotated Lists of Books on Education in Papua New Guinea, and a Short Title List of Papua New Guinea Department of Education Publications. An introduction to each part explains the purpose, function or limitations of the material included. The book also contains six useful appendixes. Emphasis throughout the book is placed on aids which will keep one up-to-date with literature on the subject. This approach is particularly useful, because since independence many publications have ceased to include material emanating from Papua New Guinea, while Papua New Guinea material has found its way for the first time into a variety of other publications. There are few references to non-institution based education and training. Perhaps the authors' definition of education precludes any reference to training, and so worthwhile related materials such as are produced by Bougainville Copper Limited's Training Scheme, and the Papua New Guinea Institute of Management's journals, are not included. The index is merely an extra aid to locate authors and titles. As the organization of the book is by form of source rather than by subject, a subject index is not relevant. In perusing the list of authors, one is struck by the dearth of Papua New Guinean writers on education. This should serve to remind us that, while this book will make research easier, the Papua New Guinean view of education-what it has been and what it is at-is still unrecorded and thus largely unknown.
