Question

A researcher wants to know if students generally learn more from synchronous or asyncrhonous teaching. The researcher splits the quarter in half, teaching one half of the quarter synchronously and another half of the quarter asynchronously. For each half of the quarter, each student takes a test assessing how much they have learned. The scores on the two tests are approximately normally distributed. The researcher then compares each student's test score in the synchronous half to the student's score in the asynchronous half. Among the procedures we have discussed in this class, which procedure should the researcher use to decide if students learned more in the synchronous than in the asyncrhonous half?

Answer 1

The overall verdict of the best method to use for teaching between asynchronous and synchronous teaching is:

• No clear winner, engage the students and make sure to answer any questions they might have.

What is Synchronous Teaching?

This refers to the type of learning where a person uses virtual means to learn, from a distance and attends class at a certain time.

An asynchronous teaching on the other hand is the type of learning where the student learn at their own pace and time.

With this in mind, there is no clear winner between the two as it is imperative to teach students in an engaging manner where they can ask questions, meet daily/weekly targets and understand concepts.
