Abstract

benefited from according to their local, cultural and social needs in different fields and levels of education. Educational quality of distance education learners is one of the important issues for authorities of this field. The aim of this research was to compare the effects of examineoriented education with semipresent education with regard to academic achievement, satisfaction, and saving learning time among Lorestan Payame Noor University students. This research was carried out in the form of a quasiexperimental research and random sampling was used for the selection of samples from the students of general psychology course in Khoramabad Payame Noor University. 78 subjects participated in this research that 36 of them were chosen from examineoriented education course and 42 of them from semipresent
educational course. Academic achievement and a questionnaire (satisfaction and saving learning time) were used for data collection. Independent sample ttest with the significance level of p < 0.05 was used for hypothesis testing. The results showed that examineoriented students entered the university with less educational background compared to semipresent students and this fact influenced their final exam scores too. Consequently, semipresent students had higher scores. The findings didn’t show significant differences between satisfaction in both groups, but
findings indicated that with regard to saving learning time there was a significant difference at the level of p < 0.01 between these two groups.
