Abstract

This comparative quantitative study aims at investigating whether instructional delivery methods, such as online, hybrid, blended learning and face-to-face delivery methods, had an effect on students' grades when teaching mathematics to English language learners in a higher education Institution in the United Arab Emirates. Final course grades, in GPA format, of 574 students were collected over the course of three academic years. Assumptions of analysis of variance (ANOVA), post hoc tests, effect sizes Cohen's d were examined. The statistically significant difference across four different instructional delivery methods showed effect sizes that grew from medium to large to very large when increasing the amount of online instruction. These findings surpass other studies and suggest a high practical significance. The consequences of COVID19 on instructional delivery methods had a favourable effect on students' grades. Higher education institutions in the UAE may use these findings for future planning, even beyond the pandemic. Recommendations are made for further research to include more variables and other disciplines.

阿联酋某高等教育机构教学交付方式的比较分析。

这项比较定量研究旨在调查在阿拉伯联合酋长国的一所高等教育机构向英语学习者教授数学时，教学交付方法(如在线、混合、混合学习和面对面交付方法)是否对学生的成绩产生了影响。我们收集了574名学生在三个学年期间的最终课程成绩，以GPA格式表示。方差分析(ANOVA)的假设、事后检验、效应量Cohen’s d进行了检验。四种不同教学方式的统计显著差异表明，随着在线教学数量的增加，效应量从中等到大到非常大。这些发现超越了以往的研究成果，具有较高的现实意义。2019冠状病毒病对教学方式的影响对学生的成绩产生了有利影响。阿联酋的高等教育机构可能会将这些发现用于未来的规划，甚至在大流行之后。建议进一步研究纳入更多的变量和其他学科。
