SOLIS RECENDEZ, Blanca Esthela et al. Comparison of academic effectiveness between face-to-face and online teaching methods of a university preparatory course. Rev. iberoam. tecnol. educ. educ. tecnol. [online]. 2022, n.31, pp.53-59. ISSN 1851-0086.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been key for online teaching to enter the pedagogical world with such force that it modified the educational paradigm. Supply and demand of online courses has strongly increased in past years mainly due to two parameters: lower cost when compared to traditional courses, and the need of social distancing in contingency period. However, little is yet known about the desired equivalence of academic effectiveness between the online and classroom options. Face-to-face and online teaching methods are compared in this work through the results obtained when applied to an entrance preparatory course given to applicants to the program of Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas. The courses were designed in such a way that the differences between them were minimized, being online / classroom learning the key variable. The statistical analysis does not show significant differences. It is concluded that both methods are equivalent for this study case.
