This study aims to define the level of utilizing blended learning in teaching science from the point of view of science teachers (85 male and female teachers) who are working in private schools of Ajman Educational Zone. The study also aims to find if there are significant differences according to gender, years of experience, or the fact that those teachers attended training courses in the field of smart learning. To achieve the goals of this study, an instrument was used to measure the level of utilizing blended learning in teaching science. The study showed the following main results: the level of utilizing blended learning in teaching science was high. There are statistically significant differences in utilizing blended learning according to the years of experience and training courses (in favor of less experienced teachers and teachers who attended training courses in the field of smart learning). The results did not show any statistically significant difference according to the gender. In the light of the study findings and their interpretation, the study highly recommends holding training courses in the field of blended learning and providing the necessary tools to implement it.
