The incorporation of technology into the teaching and learning processes has brought about continuous transformations in the educational environment. While traditional classroom-based teaching has been the foundation of education for centuries, the emergence of online learning platforms has introduced a new dynamic in the field. The expansion of these digital learning settings, particularly in response to recent global events like the COVID-19 pandemic, has accelerated the shift towards online education. Hence, it is imperative to examine the effectiveness of online education compared to traditional approaches. Accordingly, this concept paper aims to look at the performance and level of satisfaction of secondary school students when engaged in these different learning modes. In addition, previous research regarding the comparison between the two teaching methods are analyzed and expected to give the general understanding of the issue, recommendation to enhance the overall quality of the educational experience and highlight areas that require further exploration by researchers.
