The important method of current educational research is system approach, modeling and computer simulation of real systems. Based on author experience, system approach, modeling and simulation (M&S) has been found as one of the suitable method of developing theoretical knowledge in study of algorithm development and programming. The method of system approach, modeling and computer simulation requires contact form of education and can be applied in full time study. The problems arise in distance form of study because of lack of immediate feedback between students and teacher. Drawing on his experience, the author realized research investigation supporting the need of interaction between distance study students and teacher.The results of the research investigation are presented in the paper. Moreover the paper brings possible way of solution of the problems – using the method of Remote contact learning (RCL) as one of the suitable method in distance study of algorithm development and programming. The method is used in learning of programming at University of Hradec Kralove from academic year 2012/13.
