Student performance evaluation between offline and online pedagogy: A critical analysis with possible suggestions Offline and Online Pedagogy
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study develops a literature review and thereby critically analyses the student performance under online and offline teaching platforms. Online education has much popularity as the leading education instruction mostly during the outburst of COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, as of now different institutes in different countries provide education to the students through online pedagogy. For comparative review analysis, the researcher critically analyzed the current and related published papers in top indexed journals of ISIWOS & SCOPUS. Overall, the review analysis suggests combining online based teaching with current teaching trend and thereby employ the privileges of digital learning to explore teaching tactics for the stated learning effectiveness. In particular, the existing relevant literature guides us that the student performance of online pedagogy is significantly better than that of face-to-face platform. So, the medium of education can affect the student satisfaction that can eventually affect overall performance. Thus, the online academic process must be planned and executed with proper care. Thus, this study substantially promotes to profoundly reconsidering and modifying the underlying propositions of online pedagogy; and thereby design the decision of effective teaching pedagogy.
