Students’ Evaluation Towards Online e-Learning and Face-To-Face Learning

Abstract

Students' learning processes and future employment preferences are heavily influenced by their learning environment. It is regarded as a critical aspect in determining the success of an effective curriculum and academic accomplishment of students. The consequences of online e-learning versus face-to-face learning have been discussed in higher education for several years. In this paper, the study attempted to investigate the issues of students’ perception and their feedback on online e-learning and face-to-face (F2F) learning. The instruments of data collection were carried out by questionnaire using Google form platform. This research shared the closed-ended questionnaire with 136 Universiti Teknologi MARA Perak Branch students from three different faculties; Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences (FSKM), Faculty of Applied Sciences (FSG) and Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Surveying (FSPU). The data were entered in Microsoft Excel and analysis was carried out using SPSS version 26.0. All the three categorical variables were presented as frequency and percentage. In this research, descriptive statistics were computed and Spearman’s rank-order correlation was used to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between the two categorical attributes. The analysis of all the faculties involved in this research show a difference in students’ perceptions and experiences in online e-learning and face-to-face learning. Overall results show that most students preferred face-to-face learning compared to online learning.
