Abstract
COVID-19 ushered in a forced time of online instruction for many universities across the United States. As such, faculty had to quickly adapt their pedagogy in order to provide students with quality instruction in this new mandated virtual environment. At the researcher’s institution, post COVID students increasingly desire more choices in learning modalities. The researcher has transitioned to teaching solely online and wanted to conduct research to support the understanding of best practices for virtual instruction. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis between the perceived effectiveness of teacher candidates of a secondary methods course taught online versus in a face-to-face setting. Findings indicate that students were satisfied in both environments primarily due to their connection with their professors, easy accessibility to their professors via email, zoom or in person, their connection to their peers as well as their appreciation of the content and delivery of the content within the course.
