A study of Learning Effects of Different Instruction Methods: A Comparison between Online Instruction and Traditional Instruction Assisted with Online Learning System

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of the online instruction versus the effects of traditional face-to-face instruction assisted with online learning system. Specifically, the learning process is investigated. The observation groups of this study are two class students. One class is online class and the other class studies in a traditional class assisted with online learning system. The variables of personalities are also taken into discussion to explore whether the personalities of learners moderate the learning process and the learning effects. Moreover, whether the learning processes between two different instruction methods affect learning effects are explored.
Based on the data analysis, the findings of this study are summarized as follows:
1. The learning achievements of online instruction learners are significantly better than those of learners who studied in a traditional class assisted with online learning system. However, the differences of learning satisfactions from learns are not significant.
2. Learners in the online instruction post more articles than those who study in traditional instruction assisted with online learning system. But the other subjects in the learning process between the two instruction methods don¡¦t have significant differences.
3. Gender and the cognitive style separately affect the average numbers of post words and ineffective learning characteristics.
4. The learning process affects significantly the achievements of learners in both instruction methods, but the learning process doesn¡¦t always affect the learning satisfactions of learners.
