In-Person Versus Online Learning About Students’ Perception

This paper investigates the importance of in-person learning to students’ full perception of the teaching materials. The study hypothesized that in-person learning will facilitate perception of the content more than online learning. Moreover, it will ensure better interaction between the instructors and their students. Hence, the researcher distributed a survey among 65 female students to prove or disprove her hypothesis. The researcher analyzed the students data using Google surveys analytics. The findings of the students’ survey analysis indicate that 52.6% of the students prefer in-person learning over online learning, and 41% of the students agree that some teaching activities could fit only in in-person learning. Accordingly, the researcher recommended that: firstly, institutes should encourage in-person learning over online learning because it ensures more quality of learning. Secondly, teachers should create a more natural environment by exploiting all teaching strategies that could fit only in in-person learning. Finally, students should make use of face-to-face interaction and develop better communication opportunities with their instructors and their peers by creating study groups for instance. And by sharing in the classroom discussions and seminars.
