Face-to-face or Cyberspace: Analysis of Course Delivery in a Graduate Educational Research Course
Student attitudes and outcomes in a graduate educational research course in both direct instruction and online delivery methods were compared over four semesters. A t-test for independent samples determined that there were no significant differences in 11 out of 13 questionnaire response means for items measuring student attitudes, and an analysis of student outcomes yielded a significant difference in just one out of six assessments. Also, online delivery group means were higher for items measuring instructor's overall teaching effectiveness, overall quality of the course, organization of the course, and understanding of concepts and principles in the field. It may then be concluded that online courses in graduate research can be developed for instruction, conducted similarly, and yield similar results as direct instruction.
