| الوصف: | This study aims to compare the academic performance of students in virtual and distance learning courses at the adult secondary education level in Costa Rica, specifically at CONED during the year 2023, examining differences between the two modalities in terms of pass rates, number of deferrals, and educational exclusion. The research employs a quantitative approach, comparative design, and descriptive scope, using documentary analysis of academic performance reports for a total of 4,588 students as a data collection technique. This information is analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistical techniques based on frequency distributions. The results indicate that virtual courses have an academic continuity rate of 88.67% and a pass rate of 70.11%, while distance learning courses achieve a continuity rate of 90.22% and a pass rate of 80.97%, with a significant difference in both cases. This indicates that their support structure, which includes printed and digital educational materials, as well as a focus on self-learning, facilitates better student retention. However, both modalities face challenges, such as high rates of deferral and exclusion in critical areas, which require more effective pedagogical strategies. In conclusion, the importance of adapting educational strategies to improve performance and continuity in adult education is emphasized, suggesting future research on the effectiveness of teaching methods and the impact of socioeconomic variables. |
