“…In general, the results within the USA and around the world reveal mixed results regarding student perceptions of online versus FTF on motivation, discipline, self-directed learning and independence (Fish and Snodgrass, 2016a, 2016b). In general, students from individualistic cultures are more motivated to participate in online learning than students from collectivistic cultures (Tapanes et al , 2009).…”

“…Program factors, which are decisions that the instructor makes in developing the course, studied include academic difficulty, academic integrity (cheating), student-to-instructor interaction, student-to-instructor interaction and program technologies. The purpose of the literature review that follows is to extend prior research (Fish and Snodgrass, 2016a, 2016b) and highlight recent research on international student perspectives respective to individual and program research streams during the pandemic.…”

“…There are general differences in the way that different cultures address different student learning styles and requirements (Fish and Snodgrass, 2016a, 2016b). Students from different cultural contexts learn better with different instructional formats, which requires instructors to consider different instructional formats for material (Sithole and Abeysekera, 2021).…”

“…Since 2012, business students’ perceptions of online versus face-to-face (FTF) education at an AACSB Jesuit, Catholic University in the northeast have been researched (Fish and Snodgrass, 2014). Specific to this article, research on general differences and similarities in the way that different cultures address different student learning styles and requirements were researched prior to the pandemic (Fish and Snodgrass, 2016a, 2016b).…”

Purpose This study aims to compare graduate student perspectives of online versus face-to-face (FTF) education during the pandemic at two different universities. One university, the “International University”, was physically located in Korea but served an international base of students, and the other was a Jesuit, Catholic University in the USA. Design/methodology/approach An online Qualtrics survey was used to gather student perceptions on a five-point Likert scale on individual and program factors. Chi-square analysis using the contingency coefficient as the nominal value was performed to uncover significant differences. Findings Significant differences between the two groups existed on motivation, discipline, self-directed, independence, cost investment, preference, happiness, difficulty, student-to-student interaction and student-to-instructor interaction. This research has implications for instructors and administrators in identifying shortcomings and highlighting the uniqueness of different practices around the world. Originality/value Previous studies on student perceptions have been performed. However, this study is original in the fact that it directly compares two different graduate student populations perspectives of online versus FTF during the pandemic.
