Student Attitudes to Traditional and Online Methods of Delivery

Abstract

Rapid developments in education technology have provided educators and students new options in a constantly changing, competitive teaching and learning environment.As the number of online teaching resources continue to increase, research into student attitudes toward traditional and online methods of delivery is important in order to determine whether the increased usage of technology in the curriculum has been beneficial to their learning.This paper investigates the student perceptions of these two methods of delivery in a first-year introductory accounting unit in a number of key areas.These include their perceptions of learning effectiveness, motivation and impact on assessment outcomes.The importance of social interaction and their preference for online learning is also covered.This preliminary analysis of student attitudes will determine whether there are statistically significant differences between face-to-face and online learning options and preference for online learning technology between gender groups.In addition, this paper investigates whether there are statistically significant relationships between face-to-face or online learning options and preference for online learning technology in gender groups.
