Abstract

Background and Objectives: This research aims to systematically review the effectiveness of traditional teaching compared to online teaching. Choosing a teaching method is one of the critical stages of educational design. Usually, after choosing the content and before determining the means, science must choose the appropriate teaching policy and method because the teacher's policy and teaching method determine how students work to achieve educational goals. Methods: The current research method is a systematic review. The statistical population includes scientific research articles published in domestic and foreign databases from 1389 to 1401 (2010-2022) in Persian or English. For this purpose, the studies published in reputable academic and research journals and the available full text were examined. Then, the information of the preliminary investigations, including examining the sample size, sampling method, statistical analysis, and the study's primary results, was carried out. In this study, the results of several studies have been compared to reach a suitable conclusion about whether online or traditional teaching is better. Findings: After reviewing the articles based on the entry criteria and based on their quality, 16 articles were obtained on the impact of online and traditional education. All these articles were in English. Of these 16 articles, nine studies were published in the form of a questionnaire, six studies in the form of a review, and 1 study in the form of a data review. Conclusion:  The result of the study showed that half of the studies showed that the online teaching method is better than the traditional teaching method, 25% of the studies showed that the traditional method is better, and 25% did not notice a difference. Also, the results of these articles showed that both teaching methods have advantages and disadvantages, and each is effective in its own case. For example, online teaching can be helpful for students who live in remote areas or densely populated cities. Also, online teaching can help human resources to be more economical and efficient. On the other hand, traditional teaching can be suitable for students who value communication with their classmates and professors. Finally, choosing these two methods should consider local conditions and specific needs.
