Blended learning in higher education: Trends and capabilities

An integrated blended learning approach for physical education teacher education programmes: teacher educators’ and pre-service teachers’ experiences

“…In contrast to the positive discourse related to blended learning (Castro 2019;Garrison and Kanuka 2004), some studies reported students feeling pressured or overwhelmed by blended learning and preferring a face-to-face environment for learning (Bedenlier et al 2020). Other studies uncovered related challenges, for both PSTs and teachers, with the use of technology, usually related to the inability to make the most of available technology (Rasheed, Kamsin, and Abdullah 2020).…”

“…Blended learning in higher education and teacher education: a synthesis of the literature Several literature reviews and meta-analysis focused on blended learning have been published (Boelens, De Wever, and Voet 2017;Brown 2016;Castro 2019;Rasheed, Kamsin, and Abdullah 2020;Vo, Zhu, and Diep 2017). As emphasised in these reviews, an effective blended learning environment includes face-to-face interaction in the classroom, online content, assignments, announcements, synchronous conversation, asynchronous forum discussions, online chats.…”

Exploring Undergraduates' Learning Engagement via BYOD in the Blended Learning Classroom (EULEBYODBLC)

“…The Blended learning is an activity of combining traditional teaching activities (that is face-to-face teaching) and learning activities supported with technologies [23] which complement the advantages of the face-to-face teaching and online learning [24]. Blended learning courses have proved to be quite popular [25], and have been increasingly used in higher education in recent years [10], [26], [27]. Investigating student engagement in the blended learning environment could help instructors and administrators understand student learning behavior and assess the quality of teaching and learning [28].…”

“…Given the advancements in web technology, blended learning integrates traditional face-to-face classroom instruction with online digital learning.

For instance, the new media alliance's higher education version "Horizon Report: 2017" predicted that "blended learning" as a recent trend in the development of higher education will become increasingly popular [7].…”

Blended Learning Model During the Covid-19 Pandemic: Analysis of Student’s' Mathematical Disposition

“…Face-to-face learning takes place in accordance with the wishes of students (usually very rare) and online learning is carried out to complete learning to complete face-to-face meetings (Horn & Staker, 2014). Castro (2019) sees blended learning as a method that creates a learning environment suitable for students in tertiary institutions. Blended learning can be seen as a combination of learning that combines web-based communication, video, audio, synchronous, and asynchronous with face-to-face learning (Quevedo, 2011).…”
