• In Event: DDL- Impact of Distance and Online Learning: A Second-Order Meta-Analysis Study

Short Description

In this second-order meta-analysis, we analyzed 19 first-order meta-analyses to examine the impact of distance and online learning on students’ cognitive, affective and behavioral outcomes. The findings revealed a statistically significant overall average effect size (g = 0.156, p < .001 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.087 to 0.224) of distance education impacting educational outcomes in comparison to face-to-face education. Meta-analyses on higher education had a statistically significant larger effect size than K-12 education.
