INTRODUCTION ANALYSIS OF STUDENT
PERFORMANCE IN AN
“As opposed to traditional classroom teaching, ONLINE VS. FACE-TO-
Web-based instruction has made it possible to FACE ENVIRONMENTAL
offer classes worldwide through a single Internet SCIENCE COURSE FROM
connection. Although it boasts several advantages
2009 TO 2016 ”
over traditional education, online instruction still
has its drawbacks, including limited communal
synergies.”
 “ A COMPARATIVE
RESEARCH QUESTION ANALYSIS OF STUDENT
PRIMARY PERFORMANCE IN AN
ONLINE VS. FACE-TO-
What is the difference in student performance FACE ENVIRONMENTAL
between F2F and online learners. SCIENCE COURSE FROM
2009 TO 2016 ”
SUB QUESTIONS
What was the difference between online and F2F varied with gender. Does
online and F2F student performance vary with respect to gender?

Are there any difference between online and F2F varied with respect to class
rank. Does online and F2F student performance vary with respect to class
rank?
 “ A COMPARATIVE

PARTICIPANTS PERFORMANCE IN AN
ONLINE VS. FACE-TO-
The study sample consisted of 548 FVSU students who FACE ENVIRONMENTAL
completed the Environmental Science class between 2009 SCIENCE COURSE FROM
and 2016. The final course grades of the participants served 2009 TO 2016 ”
as the primary comparative factor in assessing performance
differences between online and F2F instruction. Of the 548
total participants, 147 were online students while 401 were
traditional students.
 METHODOLOGY “ A COMPARATIVE
ANALYSIS OF STUDENT
DATA COLLECTION PERFORMANCE IN AN
The instructor analyzed and processed the data though SPSS ONLINE VS. FACE-TO-
software to calculate specific values. The converted values FACE ENVIRONMENTAL
were subsequently used to draw conclusions and validate SCIENCE COURSE FROM
the hypothesis 2009 TO 2016 ”

SUMMARY OF THE RESULT

Summary of the Results: The chi-square analysis showed no
significant difference in student performance between
online and face-to-face (F2F) learners
DISCUSSION AND SOCIAL “ A COMPARATIVE
ANALYSIS OF STUDENT
IMPLICATIONS PERFORMANCE IN AN
ONLINE VS. FACE-TO-
The results of the study show there is no significant FACE ENVIRONMENTAL
difference in performance between online and traditional SCIENCE COURSE FROM
classroom students with respect to modality, gender, or class 2009 TO 2016 ”
rank in a science concepts course for non-STEM majors.
Although there were sample size issues and study
limitations, this assessment shows both online learners and
classroom learners perform at the same level. This
conclusion indicates teaching modality may not matter as
much as other factors.
