Comparing The Effectiveness Of Distance Learning And Onsite Learning In Pre-Medical Course

Abstract

Distance learning has experienced a significant surge in popularity due to the increasing digitalization of education. This study explores the effectiveness of distance learning compared to on-site learning in the context of pre-medical course students (grade 12). The research investigates students from the math science class and utilizes an online questionnaire in conjunction with the final results of the Thai Professional Aptitude Test (TPAT). Crucially, the research reveals that distance learning students tend to outperform their on-site counterparts in TPAT exams, although the difference is not overwhelmingly significant. This study contributes valuable insights into the growing impact of distance learning and its potential benefits for pre-medical course students. Further research and analysis in this domain could provide educators and institutions with valuable guidelines for optimizing educational approaches in the digital era.
