Background of the study
Synchronous and asynchronous learning are two prominent modalities in modern education, especially with the integration of technology. Synchronous learning refers to learning activities that occur in real-time, with both the instructor and students engaging simultaneously, such as through live video classes or online discussions (Aminu & Bello, 2023). Asynchronous learning, on the other hand, allows students to learn at their own pace, accessing recorded lectures, pre-recorded videos, and assignments without the need for real-time interaction (Usman & Ibrahim, 2023). Both modalities have distinct advantages and challenges, depending on the context of the school and its students.
In Katsina Local Government Area, secondary schools are increasingly using both synchronous and asynchronous learning approaches to complement traditional in-person instruction. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research on the comparative effectiveness of these learning modalities in secondary schools in this region. This study aims to investigate the impact of synchronous and asynchronous learning on student engagement, performance, and satisfaction in Katsina secondary schools.
Statement of the problem
While both synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities have their merits, it is unclear which modality is more effective in secondary schools in Katsina. Synchronous learning offers the benefit of real-time interaction and immediate feedback, while asynchronous learning provides flexibility and allows students to learn at their own pace. This study aims to compare the two modalities in terms of student engagement, academic performance, and overall satisfaction in Katsina secondary schools.
Objectives of the study
-
To compare the effectiveness of synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities in terms of student engagement and academic performance in Katsina secondary schools.
-
To assess the advantages and challenges of implementing synchronous versus asynchronous learning in Katsina secondary schools.
-
To evaluate student satisfaction with synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities in Katsina secondary schools.
Research questions
-
How do synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities compare in terms of student engagement and academic performance in Katsina secondary schools?
-
What are the advantages and challenges of using synchronous versus asynchronous learning modalities in secondary schools?
-
How do students perceive the effectiveness and satisfaction of synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities in Katsina secondary schools?
Significance of the study
This study will provide essential insights for educators and policymakers in Katsina regarding the most effective learning modalities to adopt in secondary schools. The findings will help in making informed decisions about which modality best meets the needs of students.
Scope and limitations of the study
This study is limited to secondary schools in Katsina Local Government Area, Katsina State, comparing the effectiveness of synchronous and asynchronous learning modalities. The study does not include primary schools or schools outside this region.
Definitions of terms
-
Synchronous learning: Real-time learning activities where instructors and students engage simultaneously, typically through live classes or virtual meetings.
-
Asynchronous learning: A learning modality where students engage with content at their own pace, accessing pre-recorded lectures, assignments, and learning materials without real-time interaction.
-
Student engagement: The level of participation, attention, and enthusiasm that students demonstrate while engaging with the learning modality.
-
Student satisfaction: The degree to which students feel content and fulfilled with their learning experiences, including the modality used.
