The authors investigate the relationship between student learning choices and learning styles in the use of an innovative learning environment for statistics. For teaching introductory statistics to first-year students in economics and business, Maastricht University uses a blended learning environment. It allows students to individualize learning by attuning the available learning tools to their personal preferences. The blended learning environment consists of tutorials focused on problem-based learning, lectures, independent learning and an electronic learning environment (ALEKS) based on knowledge space theory. The paper examines the intensity of use of ALEKS and investigates the relationship between this and student learning dispositions in a correlational study. Data from around 4,650 students are used. The findings suggest that less academically-inclined students, such as those with ‘surface’ approaches to learning, profit most from the availability of e-learning tools.

This study aims to: (1) find out how big the relationship between the application of blended learning innovations with project based learning methods on student learning motivation (2) find out how big the relationship between the application of blended learning innovations with project based learning methods on student learning outcomes (3) Knowing how big the relationship between the application of blended learning innovation and project based learning method on students' interest in learning (4) Knowing how big the relationship between the application of blended learning innovation and project based learning method on students' interest and motivation. This research is a quantitative research with a quasi-experimental type of research. The results showed that: (1) there was no significant relationship between the learning outcomes of blended learning and project based learning methods on students' learning motivation; (2) there is no significant relationship between the learning outcomes of blended learning and project based learning methods on interest in learning; (3) there is no relationship between blended learning learning outcomes and project based learning methods on interest and motivation; (4) There is a significant effect between blended learning and project based learning methods on student learning outcomes.

This research is based on the low learning interest of students at TPQ Masjid Baiturrahman Kelurahan Koto Lalang Kota Padang. This study aims to see the description of the atmosphere of the learning environment, description of interest in learning and see the relationship between the atmosphere of learning environment with learning interest of students at TPQ Masjid Baiturrahman. This research is a quantitative research with correlational type. The population in this study is 43 people. Samples were taken as many as 32 people using stratified random sampling technique. Data collection techniques are questionnaires, and data collection tools are the percentages for viewing the description. And to see the relationship using product moment formula. The results showed: (1) the atmosphere of student learning environment is less conducive; (2) student interest is classified as low; and (3) there is a significant relationship between the atmosphere of the learning environment with student learning interest. Suggested to: TPQ management is expected to improve the physical condition of mosque building so that the learning process at TPQ become conducive, and to the teacher expected to create a conducive learning environment atmosphere, and the teacher is expected to make the students feel close to the teacher.

In teaching introductory statistics to first year students, the Maastricht University uses a blended learning environment that allows them to attune available learning tools to personal preferences and needs, in order to address large diversity in students. That diversity is a direct consequence of a heterogeneous inflow of primarily international students, transferring from different secondary school systems with large differences in prior knowledge, and transferring from very different cultural backgrounds. In this empirical contribution, the authors focus on the role an adaptive online tutorial as component of the blend can play in bridging the consequences of a broad range of differences such as prior mastery of the subject, cultural background, and learning approaches. They do so by investigating the relationships between the intensity of the use of the e-tutorial and students’ characteristics related to nationality, cultural background, learning styles, goal-setting behavior, achievement motivations, self-concept constructs, and subject attitudes.

Limited studies on social presence in online learning do not lend themselves to understanding its effects on student learning. Research indicates a heightened need for examining the relationship between social presence and perceived learning and satisfaction as well as retention in online courses. Incorporating social presence into online courses might promote better learning. Further research on learning in an online environment is necessary to guide educators in delivering the best educational environment.

The study was conducted to analyze the relationship between the learning environment and the learning process in an effort to improve student achievement in school, analysis using qualitative methods. Research conducted on madrasa ibtidaiyah teachers NURUL HIKMAH. From this study it can be seen that the learning environment has a positive relationship with student learning achievement, as well as the learning process that has a positive and significant relationship to student learning achievement, this shows that good student achievement can be done in an effort to improve the quality of the learning environment at school and the existence of a quality learning process, thus efforts to improve student achievement can be done by improving and improving the quality of the learning process as well as an increase in the quality of teaching staff in schools so that they are more professional in carrying out their duties and responsibilities as a teacher.

This work is concerned with the evolution of blended learning supports for university students in moving from early Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) platforms and supports that were designed and facilitated by academics to those platforms designed commercially (particularly Blackboard) and developed using a mixture of commercial, collaborative and e-learning supports. The chapter is an examination of a range of issues including production of learning resources and student learning approaches. It concludes by highlighting the importance of innovation and variety in the learning blend with increased reliance on digital collections and for learning approaches student experiences were evaluated as positive when undergoing problem-based approaches and were seen as stimulated to engage with e-learning materials based on the structure and operation of action learning sets.
