The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted educational systems, presenting unique challenges for early-career School-Based Agricultural Education (SBAE) teachers. Despite extensive research on beginning teacher challenges, limited attention has been given to how first-year SBAE teachers adapted during this global crisis. This study addresses…

Learning management systems (LMSs) have been widely adopted in K-12 and higher education to support online and blended learning (Black et al. 2007; Graham 2005). One relatively new and untested LMS is Google Classroom, which has received widespread adoption in K-12 learning, but not in higher education (Fenton 2017; Hill 2018). In the current…

The efforts of the Indonesian government to break the chain of distribution of COVID-19 in the midst of society is to impose a policy of keeping distance, avoiding publicity, frequent hand washing and…

The objectives of the study were 1) Synthesize the conceptual framework of blended instruction on the cloud via an interactive augmented reality technology model to enhance digital literacy, 2) Design the blended instruction on the cloud via an interactive augmented reality technology model, 3) Develop the blended instruction on the cloud via an…

The adoption of blended mode of e-learning is dominant basically because of the affordances of the combination of both the benefits of online and face-to-face sessions. In view of this, most traditional distance education institutions have acquired Learning Management System (LMS) for online learning to support the face-to-face aspect of lesson…

The Coronavirus pandemic has thrown public schooling into crisis, trying to juggle shifting instructional modes: classrooms, online, home-schooling, student pods, hybrid and blends of these. This poses an urgent need to redesign curriculum using available technology to implement approaches that incorporate the findings of the learning sciences,…

Today, the speed of the development of technology has various effects in many areas. In the field of education, some concepts, methods, techniques, theories and models come to the fore with the effect of technology and attract the attention of researchers. One of them is blended learning. Blended learning is a learning process in which both…

Flipped and blended learning pedagogies are increasingly being adopted by institutions that see in these novel pedagogies, mechanisms that might contribute to improved student outcomes and, in the case of the institutions, student retention. However, the as yet limited research does not definitively demonstrate the empirical link between flipped…

With various digital technologies increasingly integrated into higher education, understanding how students engage with such technologies has become vital. There are different ways to measure student engagement; however, self-reported measures such as questionnaires are predominantly used to understand student engagement. In contrast, this study…

Adopting an ecological perspective on student learning in blended course designs, this study investigates the quality of 335 undergraduates' experience in a first-year compulsory engineering course. Interrelations amongst cognitive, social, and material aspects of the student learning experience are examined. The cognitive elements include…

This case study explored effective instructional strategies and technology use in blended learning (BL) in a graduate course in the USA. Varied forms of data were collected, including (1) semi-structured interviews with students, (2) mid-term and final course evaluations, (3) two rounds of online debates, (4) four weeks of online reflection…

This article applies the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework to a particular disciplinary context: first-year writing (FYW). Students enrolled in online FYW courses across three institutions (n = 272) completed a version of the CoI survey that was slightly modified to fit the disciplinary context of writing studies. A factor analysis was…

This study examines through action research whether blended instruction in an upper-level philosophy course in introductory symbolic logic can help undergraduate philosophy students to achieve better learning outcomes than undergraduate philosophy students in a traditional, face-to-face version of the same course. The authors conclude that the…

Incorporation of increased flexibility and adaptivity in courses can support freshmen with taking responsibility for their learning process. This is especially beneficial in the case of chemistry courses given their typically abstract nature and associated need for engaging in practice and higher order thinking. Blended learning can be used to…
