ABSTRACT

The coronavirus has affected many areas of life, especially in the field of education. With the beginning of the Pandemic, the transition to online learning began, which affected the development of students and teachers in terms of using innovative technologies and programs, such as Zoom, Webex, Discord, Google Meet, Moodle, EDX, Coursera, www.examus.network, etc. In this regard, many teachers are wondering whether the online method of teaching is as effective as the offline method. In this article, we focused on finding out whether there is a significant difference in student performance between online and offline modes of learning in the study of mathematics. 58 students were in a group where they studied online and 58 students were in a group where they studied offline. The study involved first-year college students of Jambyl Innovative Higher College (JICH) in Taraz, Kazakhstan. The final control work was carried out at the end of week 18, which tested all areas covered by the topic in both groups. The average scores of students studying offline were compared with the average of students studying online. To avoid confusion, the researchers also conducted and analyzed an independent t-test. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the academic performance of students who study online and offline. The offline teaching method has proven to be more effective for improving students’ understanding and comprehension of mathematics topics.
