Abstract ABSTRACT
Aim This comparative review aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of online and traditional teaching methods. It focuses on key factors such as student engagement, learning outcomes, accessibility, and overall efficacy. The study also explores the potential of hybrid or blended learning models that combine elements of both online and traditional education. By synthesizing findings from various studies, the review seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these educational approaches can complement each other. This understanding is crucial for developing strategies that enhance learning experiences and outcomes for diverse student populations.
Objective The objective is to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of both online and traditional teaching methods. This includes examining student engagement, learning outcomes, accessibility, and overall efficacy. The review also aims to understand the dynamics between these methods and how they can be optimized to foster enriched learning experiences. Additionally, it explores the role of hybrid learning models in mitigating the respective weaknesses of online and traditional education. This objective is to guide educators, policymakers, and institutions in making informed decisions about the future of education.
Results The review of 10 selected articles highlights various findings: Traditional classrooms are valued for immediate feedback, social interaction, and hands-on learning experiences. Online education offers flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and broader access to resources but faces criticisms regarding reduced personal interaction and potential motivational challenges. Hybrid learning models show promise in leveraging the strengths of both methods. Effective evaluation methods, continuous instructor training, and tailored teaching strategies are crucial for enhancing educational outcomes. These results underscore the need for a balanced approach to teaching that incorporates both online and traditional elements.
Conclusion The reviewed literature provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of education, emphasizing the importance of considering diverse instructional approaches and student characteristics. Traditional and online teaching methods each have unique strengths and weaknesses. The integration of hybrid learning models can potentially offer a balanced and enriched educational experience. Further research is needed to explore the intricate dynamics shaping educational outcomes and the efficacy of different instructional methods. Informed decision-making and adaptive teaching approaches are essential for meeting the diverse needs of learners and fostering positive learning experiences.
