“…Studies have indicated that teacher lecturing is not beneficial for improving students' learning effectiveness and that the use of technology in teaching has considerable benefits over lecturing [5][6][7]. Researchers are actively attempting to develop new teaching methods that employ smartphone technology to overcome limitations in teaching, with the aim of providing students with new learning experiences and more effective learning methods [8][9][10]. The prevalence of technology and the continual introduction of new technologies affect the pedagogy.…”

In the field of vocational education, no studies have examined the use of augmented reality (AR) learning technologies in the teaching of cosmetology. However, this study proposed the “Makeup AR” learning approach and conducted a quasi-experiment to examine the interaction effect between said approach and students with active and reflective learning styles. The research participants were 70 students from a vocational senior high school. The experimental group comprised 36 participants who were taught using Makeup AR, and the control group comprised 34 participants who were taught using an e-book. The results revealed that the use of Makeup AR improved students’ learning effectiveness. The proposed approach also effectively enhanced students’ self-efficacy and reduced their cognitive load. The students with a reflective learning style had a higher cognitive load than those with an active learning style when using the e-book learning approach. No difference in learning motivation was noted between the experimental and control groups. Overall, Makeup AR is suitable for makeup design certification courses in vocational senior high schools and can enhance learning effectiveness, improve students’ self-efficacy, and reduce cognitive load. This study suggests that the implementation of AR technology in certification courses can be beneficial to learning outcomes.

“…Teachers involved in this study stated at the aftermath of Cycle 2 that they had time to undertake field trips, they exposed their students to more examination style questions, or managed to complete all the mandatory experiments. Experimentation is a crucial part to a chemistry student's schooling as it promotes confidence and enjoyment (Toplis, 2015). Teachers were impressed with their students' ability to learn chemistry from home and spoke enthusiastically on how their classrooms were now more question and discussion based.…”

One of the key aims of post-primary education in Ireland is to develop all aspects of the individual, such as the creative, critical, and intellectual to prepare them for working life, for living in the community, and for leisure. Student self-confidence and student agency are critical to the students’ development at this stage. The flipped classroom is a model within the blended learning pedagogy and is one that has gained considerable attention in educational circles since school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The benefits of the flipped classroom toward developing student self-confidence are noteworthy. However, at the national and international level, the vast majority of research on the flipped classroom is third-level focused. This paper discusses a number of issues that arose from data collected from research carried out by the author and how the flipped classroom could benefit adolescents preparing for the Irish Leaving Certificate Chemistry summative examination. The results obtained in this study are significant as little research has been carried out on the implementation of the flipped classroom within an Irish secondary school setting. Video lessons are often seen as the core resource in the implementation of the flipped classroom. However, video lessons alone were insufficient for developing student self-confidence. Students required multiple resources, particularly resources focused on assessment, to bolster their self-esteem. It was found that the successful implementation of the flipped classroom was achievable, but scaffolding was required for these adolescents. Some scaffolding was also required initially for teachers as almost all teachers involved in this study were not familiar with the flipped classroom concept. Teachers required a guide in terms of the implementation of new teaching methods. The technology is currently available to create high quality resources for the flipped classroom; however, in respect to policy development, the support for online learning should be pedagogy led as opposed to technology led.

“…In addition, the advent of ICTs has positively influenced education [14,15]. To address the above-mentioned common teaching problems in physical education, the educators are now seeking a more effective and flexible teaching model with the assistance of advanced web technologies to overcome the constraints of conventional practices and to provide all students with access to novel and profound learning experiences and better learning effects [16].…”

Effects of Blended Learning in Physical Education among University Students: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

(1) Background: Blended learning (BL) models have attracted the attention of university teachers and students worldwide in recent years. However, systematic reviews related to the effectiveness of BL in university physical education are lacking. (2) Purpose: Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of BL in physical education among university students. (3) Methods: Searches were conducted in the following five databases: Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, EBSCOhost (SPORTDiscus), and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and 18 articles met the inclusion criteria and were selected. The PEDro scale was used to assess the methodological quality of the selected studies and the quality of this study was fair (range 4–5). (4) Results: All reported sports included basketball (n = 6), badminton (n = 3), dance (n = 3), volleyball (n = 1), yoga (n = 1), aerobics (n = 1), Taiji (n = 1), swimming (n = 1), and tennis (n = 1). Seventeen studies described the effect of BL on students’ motor skills, and the results showed that BL had a greater effect on basic skills, but the improvement was not significant for combination techniques. There were three studies related to physical fitness. Studies have observed significant effects on lung capacity (n = 1), sit and reach (n = 1), pull-ups (n = 1), 1000 m (n = 3), and 800 m (n = 1). However, there was no significant difference in body weight (n = 1) or standing long jump (n = 1). In addition, two articles examined the impact of BL on sitting up, but the findings were the opposite. Six studies reported on exercise attitude and the results demonstrated that BL can significantly improve students’ learning attitude, target attitude, behavioral cognition, and emotional experience. However, the two articles produced different results in behavioral habits. Other results, such as satisfaction and interest in learning, were also popular topics regarding BL and were found to have improved significantly.
