Objective: This paper aims at comparing the effect of using traditional and virtual teaching-learning variants on learning outcomes at the National University of Santa, Peru.
Methodology: This is a quantitative, descriptive-inferential study. A hypothesis test was used to compare the teaching results between the traditional face-to-face modality and the one developed in virtual environments. These teaching results were previously defined as the average value of the grades achieved by the students, taking into account all the subjects selected under certain inclusion criteria.
Results: The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test showed that the data on the average grades of the subjects mostly do not follow a normal distribution, while the Mann-Whitney U test, for two independent samples, showed that in 57% of the sampled subjects there were no significant differences between the teaching results of both modalities and in 43% of these subjects the results were superior with the use of the Moodle platform of the University Virtual Campus.
Conclusions: According to the sample of students and subjects selected from the Professional School of Systems and Informatics, the teaching-learning modality using a virtual environment, imposed with the arrival of the pandemic, did not affect the teaching results and in some of the subjects the results were more favorable. This research can be applied in equal or equivalent conditions for the comparison of both teaching-learning modalities.
