THE COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESSOF WEB-BASED AND CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION:A META-ANALYSIS

Target Audience

Nineteen students, most of whom are pursuing a graduate degree in Human Resource Development in both face to face and online group.

19,331 trainees who took part in 168 training courses

Objective

The primary purpose of this empirical study compared a graduate online course with an equivalent course taught in a traditional face-to-face format on a variety of outcome measures: (assessment of course interaction, structure, and support+ learning

Outcomes: course projects, grades, and student self-assessment).

The objective is to examine the effectiveness of WBI relative toCI for teaching declarative and procedural knowledge.

noYes (better with technology)

Results

This study concludes that while distance education may not be superior to or better than traditional face-to-face education, it is not worse than traditional education. It can be an acceptable alternative because it is just as good as traditional education.2-the students in the face-to-face course held slightly more positive perceptions about the instructor and overall course quality although there was no difference between the two course formats in several measures of learning outcomes.

The overall results indicated WBI was 6% more effective than CI for teaching declarative knowledge, the 2 delivery media (traditional delivery media with WBI) were equally effective for teaching procedural knowledge, and trainees were equally satisfied with WBI and CI. However, WBI and CI were equally effective for teaching declarative knowledge when the same instructional methods were used to deliver both WBI and CI.

Our Opinion

As these to studies concluded, there is no significant differences between face to face learning and online learning on learning outcomes, unless this difference can be occurred while using technology. Although we support this opinion but we believe that the most effectiveness is occurred via instructional methods rather than media delivery.
