Impact of Learning Modalities on Academic Success

چکیده
s English This study is based on the analysis of academic results of 692 undergraduate and graduate students in two disciplines in a French university who attended their courses using one out of four possible learning modalities. Within the two disciplines, Art History and Educational Sciences, students chose between face-to-face learning (on campus), paper-based distance learning (correspondence), Web-based distance learning (e-learning) or a blend of Web-based and face-to-face learning (combined) modalities. Comparison, using two indicators of overall academic success between the four learning modality types was conducted. The analyses revealed that e-learners attending at least one course on-campus (combined modality) did just as well as students attending all their courses using the on-campus only modality. Furthermore, depending on the discipline, e-learners' academic success was higher than correspondence learners', albeit not as high as on-campus and combined learners' achievements. French Cette étude porte sur l'analyse de la réussite universitaire des étudiants de licence et de master première année en fonction de différentes modalités de formation (université française) et de deux disciplines (histoire de l'art et sciences de l'éducation). Quatre modalités de formation ont été prises en compte : en présence, à distance par correspondance postale, à distance via une plateforme Internet et en présence augmentée par l'utilisation d'une plateforme Internet (LMS). Les analyses prenaient en compte le dispositif de formation dans sa globalité ce qui permettait d'estimer l'impact d'un mode de suivi mixant des unités en présence et à distance. Les résultats permettent de conclure que les étudiants totalement à distance réussissent moins bien que ceux en présence. Les étudiants en présence qui suivent certaines de leurs unités totalement en e-learning ont des résultats équivalents à ceux qui suivent toutes leurs unités en présence. Par contre, en fonction de la discipline, le e-learning permet d'atténuer l'impact négatif sur la réussite aux examens dans le cadre d'un enseignement totalement à distance.
