Research methods

Participants

The participants for my study will be the students of Sherubtse College and the reason behind choosing them is because students did and experience distance education because of worst situations (COVID 19). The education provided by the schools through distance learning is considered a continuation of school’s educational program in the same manner as if the program was being provided on-campus. My research is mainly to collect the information about the experience and opinion of students on distance education and the impact of distance education. The rules and responsibilities of distance education are same to students as they participate in learning on-campus. That’s why; I also want to compare the students’ results outcomes between distance education and on-campus learning. Distance Education is a new experience for them and I feel that Sherubtse College students are best suited for my research.

Sampling technique and size

The sample for my study will be selected by using simple random sampling method. By using this method, I will get the data from both gender random students and both gender and unit of population will get equal chance of being included into the sample. My research participants were not based on the basis of subjective such as my close friends or approachable. This sampling technique can reduce the sampling error and reduce opportunity for human bias. The sampling size for my study will be 30 students which comprising 15 female and 15 male from the students in the college. As of the total students inside the college, I will assign successive random numbers to everyone and after that select 30(n=total from n=population).

Materials and procedures

My research type is descriptive in nature because my research on distance education tends to place more importance to quantitative research. My research mainly intends to study the impacts of distance education and difference in both experiencing and result outcomes of on-campus learning and distance learning. I also want to study about the relationship between teachers and students while doing distance education. My research method will include the process of collecting and analyzing numerical data. A wide range of teaching media are employed in distance education; their effectiveness consists is organic relationship between planning course content and the planning teaching methods. In the other literature reviews, literatures state the theory, barriers, and merits of distance education and relationship between teachers and students. Therefore, I want to do my research on merits and demerits, relationship of teachers and students and different ways and experiencing. I also want to describe the theory of distance education.

Data collection

The study will be quantitative in nature and it will employ cross-sectional research design. A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect the data from the participants using a survey composed of several questions. The approach for my study is quantitative because it tends to investigate the impact of distance education, difference of on-campus learning, and distance education to test the hypothesis that distance education is not better than on-campus learning. A structured survey questionnaire will give to participants to collect data from them which are based on simple random sampling. The questionnaire will use Likert scale to measures the intensity of respondents feeling toward question.

Data Analysis

The data collective will be analyzed by using SPSS (Statistical package for the social science). SPSS is software used for the analysis of quantitative data (Bryman, 2008). Chi-square is carried out because it test commonly used for testing relationships between two variables.

Results

My research will mainly focus on the impacts of distance education and comparing between distance and on-campus learning. I will see the difference experience and students’ thoughts on distance education and see how they feel and their experience on distance education by asking question. After finishing this study, I am expecting that students might feel on-campus learning is better than distance education as my hypothesis states because I see many of my friends complain about distance learning. Distance education was done when there has worst situations in society like outbreak of disease, lockdown and in other situation, and I feel that students are uncomfortable with distance education. Therefore, I hope and think that my research will prove my hypothesis.
