This study aims to determine differences in motivation and student achievement between students using direct learning model and students using blended learning model, improving motivation and student ...achievement by applying blended learning model of students of SMKN 1 Kraksaan. The quasi-experimental study used two groups, the experimental group using blended learning model and control group using direct learning model. The population of this research is the students of Eleven Grader of SMKN 1 Kraksaan. The result of the research shows that there is a significant difference between students 'motivation and achievement using blended learning model and students using direct learning model, there is a significant increase of students' motivation and achievement as a result of the blended learning model, and there is no interaction of the influence of the application of learning model and motivation to student achievement.
Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar o perfil da pesquisa acadêmica sobre blended learning no mundo e propor uma agenda de pesquisa para o tema. Referencial teórico: A literatura recente ...tem relatado bons resultados tanto no desempenho dos alunos quanto na satisfação dos estudantes no blended learning (Dziuban et al., 2004). No entanto, ainda há muito o que investigar e aprender sobre o BL por ser um desenvolvimento recente. Desenho/metodologia/abordagem: Analisamos o perfil das publicações internacionais sobre blended learning em gestão e negócios de 2001 a 2021. Identificamos quando, quem, onde e o quê foi publicado sobre o assunto, destacando os autores e periódicos de maior impacto com base no índice h e CiteScore (Scopus), além de explorar a cooperação entre países. Resultados: O volume de pesquisas vem aumentando nos últimos vinte anos, embora existam poucos autores, instituições e periódicos de referência contribuindo para a consolidação do tema e os países que realizam mais pesquisas conjuntas em redes de coautoria respondem pelo maior volume de publicações, autores e revistas de impacto. Pesquisa, implicações práticas e sociais: Sugerimos uma agenda de pesquisa futura e destacamos as contribuições feitas para a educação executiva e gerencial. Originalidade/valor: Os resultados indicam que o número de publicações está crescendo, sendo a área de gestão e negócios a que mais contribui, sendo que os países que produzem em coautoria também fornecem mais publicações.

bliver anvendt på flere og flere uddannelsesinstitutioner. Begreberne har relationer til beslægtede betegnelser som hybrid læring, fleksibel uddannelse, multi-mode learning samt learning ecology. Det ...er på den ene side nogle meget brede begreber, der kan bruges til mange forskellige typer af undervisningsforløb, og som dermed kan kritiseres for at være upræcise og for generelle til at være anvendelige. På den anden side peger begreberne på en sammensætning og en kompleksitet i tilrettelæggelsen af undervisning, hvor man benytter sig af forskellige værktøjer, metoder og rum. Dermed udgør betegnelsen blended learning ikke en særlig tilgang eller pædagogik, men skal nærmere ses som en åbning mod at tilrettelægge undervisning på nye måder, der er supporteret og medieret af flere teknologier, og hvor forskellige on/offline formater og samarbejdsformer er gentænkt i hele forløb; at man fx ikke blot tilføjer teknologier som et ekstra lag oven i den eksisterende undervisning, men at man tænker det sammen i en helhed. På den måde kan blended learning ses som en anledning til at gentænke undervisning og uddannelser med inddragelse af forskellige metoder, teknologier og undervisningsformer.I de seneste 20 år er forskellige variationer af og formater for blended learning blevet en naturlig del af uddannelsesinstitutionernes tilbud. Formen anses for at kunne bidrage til en pædagogisk mangfoldighed og øge mulighederne for fleksibel tilrettelæggelse af undervisning.Selve begrebet “blended learning” betegner rammesætningen af en række af fysiske og online undervisningsmiljøer end en egentlig læringsforståelse; men hvilken forståelse af læring kendetegner og muliggør de forskellige formater og designs af blended learning? De mangeartede og mangefacetterede læringskontekster udfordrer didaktiske designere og det bliver nødvendigt at forholde sig til, hvordan læring finder sted i og på tværs af forskellige typer af læringsmiljøer. En central udfordring ligger i at tilrettelægge et “godt blend”, der udgør en helhed, hvor der er en pædagogisk overensstemmelse mellem eksempelvis online og fysiske formater, og at disse ikke kommer til at køre som parallelle eller adskilte forløb.De er disse spørgsmål og udfordringer, der er udgangspunktet for og bliver behandlet i artiklerne i dette temanummer til Læring og Medier.
In order to fully realise the potential of online and blended learning (OBL), teacher professional development (TPD) strategies on how to teach in an online or blended learning environment are ...needed. While many studies examine the effects of TPD strategies, fewer studies target the specific important components of these strategies. This study addresses that gap by conducting a systematic review of qualitative data consisting of 15 articles on TPD that targets OBL. Using a meta-aggregative approach, six different synthesised findings were identified and integrated into a visual framework of the key components of TPD for OBL. These synthesised findings are the base for the action recommendations which present specific and contextualised suggestions. Taken together, the findings can inform in-service teachers and trainers, together with further research and development efforts that are concerned with TPD for OBL.
More and more higher educational institutions invest in technology-enhanced learning spaces, which raises the question of how these environments can be shaped to be as effective as possible. A ...specific new learning space is the synchronous hybrid or blended learning environment in which both on-site and remote students can simultaneously attend learning activities. Given that synchronous hybrid learning is relatively new, there are few studies that have investigated its use and effectiveness. This study synthesised the best available evidence worldwide to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art of the current research regarding the benefits, challenges and current design principles to set up synchronous hybrid learning. In line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, we included 47 studies which were analysed to respond to our research questions. One of the main findings is that existing research suggests cautious optimism about synchronous hybrid learning which creates a more flexible, engaging learning environment compared to fully online or fully on-site instruction. Yet, this new learning space has several challenges which are both pedagogical and technological in nature. To meet these challenges, several design guidelines are formulated. A final conclusion is that most of the existing literature is exploratory and qualitative in nature and has focused mostly on descriptions of students’ experiences, the organisational implementation and the technological design. Empirical studies have only begun to emerge and more research is needed into different pedagogical scenarios and their impact on student outcomes.
This study aimed to develop a practical model for predicting students at risk of performing poorly in blended learning courses. Previous research suggests that analyzing usage data stored in the log ...files of modern Learning Management Systems (LMSs) would allow teachers to develop timely, evidence-based interventions to support at risk or struggling students. The analysis of students' tracking data from a Moodle LMS-supported blended learning course was the focus of this research in an effort to identify significant correlations between different online activities and course grade. Out of 29 LMS usage variables, 14 were found to be significant and were input in a stepwise multivariate regression which revealed that only four variables – Reading and posting messages, Content creation contribution, Quiz efforts and Number of files viewed – predicted 52% of the variance in the final student grade.
•Academic success in blended learning courses is difficult to predict.•Research has shown that some, but not all, variables are useful predictors of student success in LMS supported courses.•29 online activities/variables were selected for inclusion in this study.•Selective monitoring of a small number of online activities accurately predicts student outcomes in blended learning courses.
