Özet

The study aimed to describe and compare the perceptions of web-based distance education students and campus-based face-to-face students about the quality of education provided in their programs with regard to variables including gender, marital-status, and employment status. A baseline descriptive survey design and complementary ex post facto design were used in this study. A total of 536 students studying at two higher education institutions participated in the study. "Student Program Assessment Scale [SPAS]" was developed and used to assess web-based and face-to-face students' perceptions about the quality of education in their programs.
