fet-1418	D. G. S. K., Doluweera,	Profile of Distance Learners in the Open University of Sri Lanka	2018	10	.pdf	application/pdf	4185	251	53	Although the methods of reporting student ages vary from study to study, researchers agree that distance education students are, on average, older than typical undergraduate students. Higher success rates among female distance education students have been related to (1) the lower proportion of women working full time outside the home, (2) the higher rates at which women access institutional support structures, (3) the potentially higher level of motivation that might operate among women, who more often work in occupational sectors in which career advancement is closely tied to academic upgrading, and (4) the appeal of the distance format to woman who must integrate education into lives characterized by multiple roles (Ross & Powell, 1990; Powell, Conway, & Ross, 1990; Robinson, 1992).	cache/fet-1418.pdf	txt/fet-1418.txt
