The development of information and communication technology has a very positive impact on the world of education. One such impact is the availability of information that is very abundant in cyberspace. This is the basis for conducting research on the application of the blended learning method that combines online learning with face-to-face learning combined with a scientific approach. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effect of blended learning methods and scientific approaches on student learning independence, as well as knowing the severity of the combination of methods and approaches. Respondents involved in this study were 18 students who programmed Physics Curriculum Study II. The instruments used were questionnaire and unstructured interview instruments. Research data were processed using descriptive statistical analysis techniques to determine the percentage of responses. The analysis showed that the average percentage of students' learning independence was 82%, while the practicality of the methods and approaches used were 85% or very good. This means that the blended learning method has a very positive impact on student learning independence. In addition, the combination of blended learning methods and scientific approaches is also very practical and effective to be used in physics curriculum lectures.Keywords: Blended Learning, Scientific Approaches, Information and Communication Technology Perkembangan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi memberikan dampak yang sangat positif bagi dunia pendidikan. Salah satu dampak tersebut adalah ketersediaan informasi yang sangat melimpah di dunia maya.

The use of ICT in classroom teaching and learning processes has become indispensable as it gives teachers and learners the opportunity to operate, store, control and retrieve data in addition to promoting self-regulated and active learning. (Ali, Haolader & Muhammad, 2013) Today we are dependent on technology and the role of ICT is increasing day by day and is believed to be a new normal. Keeping that in view, the present paper attempts to examine the relationship between information and communication technologies (ICT) and student learning.

AbstractInformation and communication technology (ICT) programs like Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote have become the norm for large university lecture classes, but their record in terms of student engagement and active learning is mixed at best. Here, the author presents the merits of a “populist” lecture style that takes full advantage of the variety of features available from the latest generation of ICT programs. Based on visual variety, audio and visual sound bites, and the incorporation of humor and pop-cultural references, this populist approach not only facilitates greater student attention and engagement with the class materials, but also offers unmatched opportunities for extending student learning beyond the confines of the large lecture hall.

Due to the accelerated pace of information and communication technology developments, the digital society and the digital economy have become real and, in turn, pose specific challenges. In this environment, digital skills and competences are essential to achieve the professional success and personal development of any individual. The positive impact that information and communication technology has on education cannot be disputed, but there are also some obstacles that need to be overcome in order to make the most of these benefits. An essential aspect to consider is that technology has repercussions not only on pupils and students, but also on teachers, who must adapt and acquire the knowledge necessary to disseminate information. Having as the main objective of reflecting the impact of digitalization on the educational sector, the paper highlights the basic concepts in the field of digital technology and, at the same time, the current implications on educational processes. At the same time, through logistic regression, the way in which the means of digital innovation influence the education in Romania is analysed and to determine the factors with the highest degree of influence. Modern technology can be considered as synonymous with the future and that is why it is essential that all young students acquire the digital knowledge necessary to revolutionize the educational process and at the same time redefine the recruitment of the labour market.

The development of information technology that is very rapidly grown nowa-days, particularly the development of information and communication technology enriches the development of the concept of learning based on blended learning. The characteristics of its apparatus, which can always be accessed anytime, any-where, multiuser and offers all its simplicity have made blended learning as a me-dium of instruction which is very appropriate for the development of education. One of the courses considered essential to utilize the information and communica-tion technology is a research statistics because the process of learning, this course has two fundamental parts which cannot be separated to one another, namely the-ory and practice. Thus, it needs a plan of learning activities which combine face-to-face learning and online-based learning interaction. The research was required to conduct to develop blended learning on research statistics course for the stu-dents of English Education Department of Teacher Training and Education Facul-ty of Borneo Tarakan University under a Research and Development by using the ADDIE’s model. The evaluation which was conducted to find out validity, prac-ticality, and effectiveness of blended learning drew three main conclusions: First, the design and development of learning devices were appropriate to be used as guidelines in implementing the learning process. Second, the process of learning was implemented in accordance with the plans and learning devices as well as a learning setting. Third, the students’ learning achievement was classically com-pleted. Thus, the blended learning was found to be valid, practical, and effective for the development of learning

The continuous development of the new-generation Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has drawn increased focus and investment from China. However, will China’s investment in the ICT bring a long-term positive impact on China’s economic growth? Will such impact be changed by any external factors? These questions bear strong significance for the academic cycle and require urgent solutions. Given such concerns, the paper introduced a partial dynamic adjustment model and selected the panel data of China from 2001 to 2016 to study how China’s investment in ICT affected its economic performance. The study found that such investment has significantly promoted the economic growth of China with gradually shortened gap between physical capital and the ICT investment, while human capital still played a vital role in economic growth; there is a mutual and harmonious influence between macrovariable and the speed of adjustment, and only their effective combination can improve economic performance to the maximum extent.
