Abstrakt: As a result of the development of the Covid-19 pandemic, a rapid transition from the classic classroom-lesson form to a distance form of education was required. Thus, many questions arose regarding the applicability of this training method and its comparison with the classical face-to-face method. This article presents a study of the examination results of face-to-face and distance-learning students, assuming all other circumstances being equal. A hypothesis test is performed, regarding a difference between means of two independent samples for quantitative indicators that have normal distribution. Student's t-test for independent samples is applied. The research takes place in the University of Mining and Geology in Sofia, Bulgaria. The experimental results show that the examination results of the students are different for both methods and in the majority of the cases the results of the present in the class students are better. Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of both methods, it is concluded that only a combination of different forms of education - present in class, remote, hybrid and blended, can provide a modern education aimed at the sustainable development of society.
