Present research was aimed to compare the educational quality of physical education course in respect to conventional and distance education in Ardabil. Statistical universe included all students which study physical education in B.S degree at state university in 2010-2011 academic years. Using stratified random sampling, 404 students (230 male and 174 female students) were selected based on Kreschi-Morgan table and taken into account the adequacy of the sample. This was an ex-post-facto study. Data gathering was done via four class questionnaire-80 questions on quality of research sample education and personal information questionnaire and one self-concept questionnaire. The data analyzed via spss v.16 statistical software by using independent two samples T test. The results showed that there is significant difference between two conventional and distance educational systems in terms of educational quality. In the physical education course the quality of education is theoretical course is higher than those in distance educational system. But is not significant difference relation to practical course in the two systems.

Approaches to assessing the quality of distance learning in higher education through the development of tools for monitoring learning outcomes

“…Pointing out that modern universities incorporate online learning to expand their markets, limit the costs, or adopt more flexible and blended learning achievements, Y. Ryan and C. Latchem [11] put greater emphasis on small impact that distance education departments have on planning and valuation of educational programs.…”

Features of Modern Distance Education: Potential and New Use of Opportunity

“…Питанням використання дистанційної освіти присвячені праці багатьох науковців. Серед них: В. Олійник, В. Рибалко, Н. Сиротенко, Й. Ріан, К. Латхем (Ryan & Latchem, 2016), Ф. Саба (Saba, 2016), А. Шуфелтона (Shuffelton, 2015) ін. Однак на сьогодні не можемо стверджувати, що питання аналізу використання дистанційної освіти в Україні вивчено остаточно.…”
