This study aims to develop a critical collaboration-oriented constructivist learning model to improve students' social-spiritual skills. It boosts the urgency that most educators currently believe the online learning model does not improve students' social and spiritual skills. The development is carried out using the Assure model developed by Smaldino, Russell, Heinich, and Molenda. The developed model followed six steps, namely: (1) analyzing the characteristics of students, (2) setting learning objectives, (3) selecting media, methods, and materials, (4) utilizing teaching materials, (5) involving students in learning activities, and (6) evaluation and revision. The research process was carried out at UIN Mataram, involving one content expert, one design expert, five students in individual trials, nine students in small group trials, and 40 students in field trials. The results show that the developed learning model had theoretical feasibility of 96.4% for the material and 96% for the learning design. At the same time, the results of the empirical feasibility test showed that the product was empirically feasible with a feasibility level of 85.87% in individual trials, 90.12% in small group trials, and 94.25% in field trials. This study ends with the suggestions to implement the developed learning model in different fields of studies as the discussion of this model is rare while the impacts are beneficial. The discussion on its application and effects on learning achievements and attitudes in different fields of studies will contribute to a broader understanding of the same topic.

PurposeThe research aims to identify the effectiveness of using the blended learning strategy on achievement among students of higher colleges of technology in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), through the answer to the following question: Is there a statistically significant difference at the significance level (a = 0.05) in students' achievements in general studies courses at higher education attributed to the method of teaching (blended learning, traditional).Design/methodology/approachThe research applied a Quasi-experimental. The current research used two groups experimental group and controlled group across two phases: pilot study and experimental study. Phase 1 examined the difference between the pilot group and the nonpilot group at Sharjah colleges across three different courses: Fundamentals of Applied Mathematics, Professional Communication and Reporting and Basic Research Methods during the spring semester 2019 at Sharjah colleges. Phase 2 examined the difference between the experimental group (using blended learning during summer 2019) and the controlled group (learned the same courses during summer 2018) across three different courses and the same three courses.FindingsThere is no statistically significant difference at significance level (a = 0.05) in students' achievements in the Fundamentals of Applied Mathematics (LSM 1000) course between the experimental and controlled groups. There is a statistically significant difference at significance level (a = 0.05) in students' achievements in the Professional Communication and Reporting (LSC 1103) in favor of the experimental group course at higher education attributed to the method of teaching (blended learning, traditional). There is no statistically significant difference at significance level (a = 0.05) in students' achievements in the Basic Research Methods (LSS 1123) between the experimental and controlled groups.Research limitations/implications1. The study is limited to students of Higher Colleges of Technology in the UAE. 2. The study is limited to the General Studies Department at Higher Colleges of Technology. 3.

Applied Mathematics is a basic skill that determines the success of students in pursuing their education in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Besides having to understand concepts and be able to solve cases according to the topics taught, students are also required to be able to solve mathematical engineering problems in the application of mechanical engineering. This makes it a difficult subject for the majority of students. This difficulty is overcome by applying blended learning. This is done by integrating curriculum design with strategy and use of learning technology so that innovation and teaching excellence are formed to support the learning process of students. Learning strategies that can be applied include explanations of concepts, problem-based learning, problem-solving and case discussions. This learning strategy is supported by multimedia technology and internet-based, namely video tutorials, discussion of material and examples of online-based cases and online discussion forums. The process of face-to-face learning in class is still being carried out. The key to the success of this learning lies in the ability to create interactions between students and fellow students, with teachers, with the community, with the material with the use of existing technology.
