摘要：The purpose of this study was to test for statistically significant differences
between students in an online and traditional (face-to-face) teacher education programs
with their perceptions of social connectedness and satisfaction with their learning
experiences at a research-intensive institution located in the southern region of the United
States. Data were collected from participants using an online questionnaire that
measured students’ perceptions in both program formats. The results of the study
indicated that students in both program formats had similar perceptions of their social
connectedness and satisfaction with their learning experiences.
