Face To Face Learning

The article focuses on the teaching English to Master's students using blended learning approach. To meet the demand of professional standards teachers at Togliatti State University are to form foreign language communicative competence having just a few academic hours for oral communication. The suggested Project-Based Blended Learning Model is considered to be a solution to this problem. This Model consists of four basic elements: face-to-face learning, a Web 2.0 application LearningApps, MOOC Coursera and Reading Science. The way to implement the Model into educational process is shown. The paper is based on the own unique survey that yields some interesting results which prove the effectiveness of this Blended Learning Model. It gives the opportunity to create the environment for providing a learning pathway and the learning process control.

Classroom Education

With the rapid rate of innovation in software engineering, teaching and learning of new technologies have become challenging issues. The provision of appropriate education is a key prerequisite for benefiting from new technologies. Experience shows that typical classroom education is not as effective and efficient as it could be. E-learning approaches seem to be a promising solution but e-learning holds problems such as a lack of social communication or loose control on learning progress. This chapter describes a blended learning approach that mixes traditional classroom education with e-learning and that makes use of tightly integrated coaching activities. The concrete effects and enabling factors of this approach are discussed by means of an industrial case study. The results of the study indicate that following a blended learning approach has a positive impact on learning time, effectiveness and sustainability.

Electronic Learning (E-Learning) has been widely used as a complement to the traditional learning method. It includes the introduction of blended learning (BL) that fully utilises the use of Learning Management System (LMS). The aim of this study is to examine students’ acceptance of blended learning specifically with the use of Openlearning (OL) as an online learning platform to complement traditional teaching. 137 students had participated in this study. OL was introduced to the Health Sciences students, who enrolled in the Principles of Nutrition course. Students explored teaching materials, videos, activities, and several assessments in OL while facilitated by facilitators for 14 weeks. A self-administered questionnaire was given via online to the participants to evaluate their attitudes and acceptance towards OL. Descriptive statistic was used to describe the demographic data and t-test was performed to report the level of acceptance. Overall results showed students were very satisfied with blended learning using OpenLearning as a web-based tool. Students accepted OL as it is easy to use and convenient. They also agreed that the usage of OL in teaching and learning will improve their academic performance. In conclusion, it is proven that Health Sciences students accepted the use of OL in blended learning.

The University

The use of Information Technology (IT) has been growing over the years in various human endeavours. It has also been adopted in education sector for teaching and learning. Various studies have been conducted to assess the effectiveness and acceptance of e-learning strategy by students. In particular, the current research is an attempt to obtain students’ and instructor’s perspective on the use of Blackboard software. The technology is a course management system used in a blended learning mode to deliver a third year mechanical engineering course at the University of Botswana (UB). In terms of students’ views, the study covered a period of nine years and the questionnaire survey was administered to each succeeding cohort of students. Whereas in terms of the instructor’s perspective the motivation and the challenges faced during the years of use of the platform were described. Results indicate that students were generally comfortable with the use of Blackboard as they highly embraced it. Students indicate that their performance improved and communication with instructor was enhanced significantly. The respondents also recommended that Blackboard should be used in other courses in their programme of study. The instructor considered the time factor the most vital challenge related to the use of the platform. However, despite the challenges the application of the learning platform and the development of its material was a positive experience for the instructor and well received by the students.

Việc giảng dạy tiếng Anh cho những lớp học đông sinh viên đã gây ra nhiều thách thức cho giáo viên, đặc biệt trong giáo dục đại học. Giáo viên khó triển khai các hoạt động duy trì kỷ luật lớp học, nhất là đối với những sinh viên thiếu ý thức làm chủ bản thân. Việc dạy học trong những lớp học đông sinh viên cũng gây nhiều khó khăn cho công tác giảng dạy, cũng như các hoạt động kiểm tra, đánh giá. Hơn nữa giáo viên khó lòng đáp ứng hết nhu cầu khác nhau của sinh viên. Bài viết này hướng tới việc giới thiệu một phương pháp dạy, học được tin là sẽ giải quyết được phần nào vấn đề lớp học đông sinh viên, phương pháp dạy, học kết hợp. Đây không phải là một ý tưởng mới. Tuy nhiên, việc kết hợp giữa mô hình lớp học truyền thống và ứng dụng công nghệ thông tin trong giảng dạy và học tập sẽ giúp phần giảm áp lực cho giáo viên. Sinh viên sẽ phát triển được phương pháp học tự chủ trong khi giáo viên vẫn kiểm soát được các hoạt động bên ngoài lớp học của sinh viên. Chúng tôi tin tưởng rằng phương pháp dạy, học kết hợp này nếu được nghiên cứu một cách toàn diện sẽ trở thành xu hướng giáo dục của tương lại.

Different Levels

Though there are a number of research studies on the adoption of a blended learning approach to enhance learning, few comparative studies have examined the use of this approach for inter-class activities. Two undergraduate classes at different levels of study participated in an online discussion, an online debate, and two face-to-face debates. Data were gathered for triangulated analysis from a questionnaire that solicited participants’ opinions, from focus group meetings, and from tracked statistics provided by the learning platform. The tracked statistics showed that the participants often read online postings but not many of them expressed their opinions online. Both the responses to the questionnaire and the opinions expressed in the focus group meetings showed that they preferred a face-to-face approach to an online learning approach. Furthermore, the students embraced the opportunity to interact with another class when preparing and having face-to-face debate.

Sample penelitian diambil secara acak menggunakan purposive sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan angket dan wawancara terbuka di sekolah-sekolah Katolik. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, 53,8% guru di beberapa SMA/SMK di Kalbar menggunakan Platform E-learing model Google Classroom terutama didaerah perkotaan atau daerah yang tidak mengalami kendala signal internet. Namun tidak sedikit juga guru SMK/SMA yang masih sulit dalam mengaplikasikan e-learing dan akhirnya menggunakan system blended learning. Para responden sependapat bahwa pembelajaran melalui e-learning sangat relevan dengan situasi pandemi COVID-19 walaupun terkesan dipaksakan karena ketidaksiapan guru maupun siswa.Kata Kunci: e-learnng, Platform, attitude, Guru ABSTRACTThis study aims to explore the use of e-learning by teachers in Catholic schools in West Kalimantan. The focuses of the research were “What are the e-learning platforms used by teachers in Catholic schools in West Kalimantan? How is the application of the e-learning Platform and the obstacles? What are the attitudes of the teachers towards the use of e-learning-based media?”The research subjects were teachers who teach in Catholic schools. The research sample was taken randomly using purposive sampling. Techniques of data collection were questionnaires and open interviews. Based on the results of the study, 53.8% of teachers in several high schools / vocational schools in West Kalimantan used the Google Classroom, especially in urban areas or areas with good internet signal access. However, some vocational/ high school teachers are still difficult to apply e-learning and finally use a blended learning system. The respondents also agreed that learning through e-learning is very relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, even though it seems forced due to the unpreparedness of teachers and students.Keywords: e-learnng, Platform, attitude, teachers
