Comparative and Non-Comparative study

ComparativeNon-Comparative

Comparative Analysis of

Learner Satisfaction and

Learning Outcomes in Online

and Face to Face Learning

Environment.

Type of comparative

study: learner's perception

and performance

Virtual interactivity: design

factors affecting student

satisfaction and perceived

learning in asynchronous online

courses

Title of Studies

ComparativeNon-Comparative

Compare an online

course with an

equivalent course

taught in a traditional

face-to face format.

It investigates factors affecting

student satisfaction with and

perceived learning from

asynchronous online learning

Purpose of Studies

ComparativeNon-Comparativ

e

What differences exist between students enrolled in online versus face-to-face learning environments in: satisfaction with the learning experience?

student perceptions of student/instructor interaction, course structure, and course support ?

learning outcomes (i.e., perceived content knowledge, quality of course projects, and final course grades)?

Questions of Studies

ComparativeNon-Comparative

19 students: were taught on the campus of a large Midwestern university through a traditional face-to-face format

19 students: were offered totally online, with no direct face-to-face contact between the instructor and the students.

3,800 students who were enrolled in 264 courses but About (1,406) students returned the survey.

About 73 courses and eleven hundred and eight (1,108) students were enrolled in the courses whose design features we examined.

Participants of Studies

ComparativeNon-Comparative

some items from (ICES) instrument

CISS instrument

Students projects

Final course Grade

A self-assessment instrument

Student Survey Data

Course Design Data: twenty-two variables using Likert-type scaling

instruments of Studies

ComparativeNon-Comparative

Student Satisfaction: on instructor quality and course quality, both groups provided positive ratings .

Perception of course interaction, structure and support: Overall, both groups of students had positive perceptions. with the face-to-face students having significantly more positive views for interaction and support.

It shows high levels of satisfaction with and perceived learning from SLN courses

indicate that most students believed their level of interaction with the course materials, with their instructor, and with their peers was as high or higher than in traditional face-to-face courses.

Results of Studies

ComparativeNon-Comparative

Student Learning Outcomes:

Blind review of course projects: The difference in the project ratings for the two groups was not significant

Course grade: The grades were, for the most part, equally distributed between both groups

Self- assessment: Significant differences were found on only five of the 29 items on the self-

assessment instrument

Three factors that contributing significantly to the success of online courses.

1. a clear and consistent course structure,

2. an instructor

3. a valued and dynamic discussion.

Results of Studies

ComparativeNon-Comparative

Equivalence of the groups in number, same

instructor and course, delivered by the same

department, and required the same content,

activities, and projects

All data were collected at or near the end of

the semester

Researcher used more than one instrument,

so this makes research more reliable and

creditable.

Used more than one instrument for collecting data.

Gives some information about why the finding is that.

Advantages of Studies

ComparativeNon-Comparative

To ensure instrument validity, Researcher

used many ways. The researcher contacted with authors of

the (DOLES) and (DDE) instruments to obtain copies and necessary permission to use their instruments.

content experts reviewed the items of instrument (CISS) .

the instrument was pilot tested in an undergraduate engineering course (43 students) and two graduate education courses (25 students).

Used more than one instrument for collecting data.

Gives some information about why the finding is that.

Advantages of Studies

ComparativeNon-Comparative

The composition of the students

and the small sample size makes

it difficult to interpret the result.

The CISS instrument is still in its

early developmental stage and

has not completed a full analysis

to ensure reliability and full

construct validity.

No clear information about participants
