This book was released on 2021 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As technology use in the classroom became more prevalent, so did the questions of how to effectively integrate technology into instructional practice. From this rise in questions about how to effectively integrate technology, the term blended learning emerged. Blended learning serves as a description of practices for educators to effectively implement and integrate technology in classrooms. Through an adult learning framework, I used a qualitative interpretive research design to examine middle school teachers’ perceptions of professional development for implementing blended learning. I sampled 32 middle school teachers who completed questionnaires, and I interviewed three teachers based on their responses to the questionnaire. The data revealed teachers’ perceptions of professional development offered for implementing blended learning varied depending on their own conceptual understanding of blended learning. There was a misidentification of what constitutes blended learning among the participants, which was found to alter their perceptions of the professional development opportunities offered at the district and/or school level. Additionally, the data revealed teachers’ perceptions of school and/or district professional development on blended learning did influence the classroom implementation of blended learning strategies and the need for more accessible and more personalized opportunities for professional development.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this basic qualitative, interpretative study was to explore the relationships among blended learning classrooms, communities of inquiry, and student engagement in secondary grades in Tennessee. I conducted this study using the Communities of Inquiry framework to find a deeper understanding and gain insight into Tennessee public secondary teachers’ perceptions of blended learning classrooms, communities of inquiry, and student engagement in a blended learning environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the lack of existing research on the on secondary teachers' perceptions of blended learning instruction and student engagement, I conducted this study to increase the literature base and fill in gaps regarding this topic. To address the gaps in literature, I utilized SurveyMonkey, a web-based platform, to collect data through a web-based questionnaire with one multiple choice question, and 10 open-ended questions. I utilized purposeful sampling to determine the participants of this study, who were Tennessee’s public secondary teachers, certified to teach in the State of Tennessee, who taught as a public secondary teacher, 7th-12th grades, and who utilized a blended learning model of instruction during the instructional years of 2020-2023. After collecting data from 14 participants, via an online questionnaire, I analyzed the data using open, axial, and selective coding to generate themes. Secondary public school teachers indicated secondary teachers utilized online learning platforms as instructional tools to create meaningful lessons and students utilized specific technology tools to engage in classroom activities through online programs in blended classrooms.

Download or read book Middle School Teachers' Perceptions of Factors Impacting the Effective Implementation of a Rotational Model of Blended Learning written by Chad L. Cohrs and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the perceptions of middle school teachers relating to factors impacting the implementation of a rotational model of blended learning. Forty-one middle school teachers who were utilizing a rotational model of blended learning in four school districts in eastern and southeastern Pennsylvania public schools participated in this study. Data were collected through an online survey that included open-ended questions and through follow up interviews with a limited number of participants. The results suggest that participating teachers agreed with the need for ongoing professional development and administrative support as critical factors impacting implementation. The results of the study also revealed specific instructional skills including designing instruction, differentiation, and adapting or personalizing instruction as important to successful implementation. The resource of time, both for planning and instructing, was identified as a key component impacting the effectiveness of blended learning. The findings also suggest that teachers must be given the flexibility to alter implementation of the rotational model as they see fit, rather than strict adherence to a single format.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect blended learning initiatives in schools. The study sought to determine teachers' perceptions of how student engagernent is affected by blended learning. This study also explored teachers' perceptions of the strategies used in the implementation of blended learning. Finally. the study sought to determine teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness of professional development on the implementation of blended learning strategies. Participants in this study included elementary, middle and high school teachers employed by one school district in central Pennsylvania. A total of 68 teachers participated in the online survey. Five teachers volunteered to answer six researcher designed interview questions. A panel of experienced educators reviewed and approved all the survey and interview questions. Findings indicated that teachers acknowledged the importance of a school district's need to have a well-defined plan prior to initiating a blended model for learning. Response data revealed that without a well-established teacher to student connection. student motivation and engagement in the blended model is not likely to occur well. This study also supported that a comprehensive approach to professional development rooted in well communicated procedures and expectations is a key to giving the blended model the greatest opportunity to be successful in schools, These findings can guide future research for educators who want to implement blended learning practices in their schools to increase students' options to further customize their educational path.

Download or read book High School Teachers' Perceptions of the Impact of the Station Rotation Model of Blended Learning written by Scott M. Galen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined high school teachers' perceptions of the impact of the station rotation model of blended learning on student engagement, student achievement, and instructional practice. Data were collected from 28 teachers at four different public high schools across central and eastern Pennsylvania who had been trained and had implemented the station rotation model of blended learning in their classrooms. This qualitative study incorporated the use of an electronic survey that included six open-ended response questions as well as face-to-face interviews to gather teachers' perceptions regarding the impact of the station rotation model of blended learning. The findings of the study indicated that the station rotation model had increased student engagement, but there was significant variation in high school teachers' perceptions of the impact the model had on indicators of student engagement. The findings revealed consistency among teachers' perceptions that the station rotation model had not improved student achievement despite the fact that teachers believed they had been provided with the appropriate amount and kind of professional development such that the model could improve student achievement. The findings also indicated that the station rotation model did change instructional practice by increasing differentiation, personalization, and making teachers focus more on the essential aspects of learning. The teachers in this study suggested that professional development be provided by individuals who had actually worked with the model. It was also suggested that schools allow for greater levels of flexibility with the model rather than strict adherence to using all three stations every day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative case study examined and explored perspectives of teachers regarding the effectiveness of a locally designed and developed high school blended learning initiative. This case study also provided insight into teachers' perceptions regarding factors that affect the implementation of a blended learning initiative as well as delving into teacher perceptions related to the effectiveness of professional development provided for teachers of blended courses. Teachers from one public high school in central Pennsylvania, all teaching at least one blended course, completed a researcher-designed Likert-scale statement survey, provided answers to open-ended questions, with a limited number participating in interviews which were conducted by an independent interviewer. The results of this study revealed that teachers in the school where this research was conducted had favorable perceptions regarding the effectiveness of a locally designed and developed blended learning initiative. The findings also identified variables that affect the implementation of a blended learning initiative and acknowledged the importance of flexible scheduling and ability for teachers to collaborate on a regular basis as variables that would provide structure to support a blended learning initiative. Although the results of this study regarding district professional development support for teachers delivering instruction in a blended fashion were promising, there was an indication that professional development needs to be continuous and ongoing after implementation.

Download or read book Blended Learning in Practice written by Amanda G. Madden and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to both theory and practice of blended learning offering rigorous research, case studies, and methods for the assessment of educational effectiveness. Blended learning combines traditional in-person learning with technology-enabled education. Its pedagogical aim is to merge the scale, asynchrony, and flexibility of online learning with the benefits of the traditional classroom—content-rich instruction and the development of learning relationships. This book offers a guide to both theory and practice of blended learning, offering rigorous research, case studies, and methods for the assessment of educational effectiveness. The contributors to this volume adopt a range of approaches to blended learning and different models of implementation and offer guidelines for both researchers and instructors, considering such issues as research design and data collection. In these courses, instructors addressed problems they had noted in traditional classrooms, attempting to enhance student engagement, include more active learning strategies, approximate real-world problem solving, and reach non-majors. The volume offers a cross-section of approaches from one institution, Georgia Tech, to provide both depth and breadth. It examines the methodologies of implementation in a variety of courses, ranging from a first-year composition class that incorporated the video game Assassin's Creed II to a research methods class for psychology and computer science students. Blended Learning will be an essential resource for educators, researchers, administrators, and policy makers. Contributors Joe Bankoff, Paula Braun, Mark Braunstein, Marion L. Brittain, Timothy G.

Download or read book Teacher Perceptions of Blended Learning and Its Relationship to Standardized Test Scores in Elementary Grades written by Tina Pompa-Wagner and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed methodology study was to gather the perceptions of teachers using a blended or hybrid learning approach within the elementary classroom in regards to the motivation, engagement, personalization, and achievement of students, as well as which model of blended learning teachers deemed most effective. Data were collected in the form of surveys, open response questions, personal interviews, and archival Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) data. Thirty-four teachers partook in the survey, and seven teachers participated in personal interviews. Four school districts located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania were included in this study representing rural and suburban areas in the state. Results indicated teachers perceived blended learning to be more engaging and motivating than traditional instruction. The ability to personalize instruction for various learners was perceived by teachers to be a benefit of the pedagogy. Although teachers perceived blended learning to have an impact on student achievement, most were unsure if a relationship existed between the use of blended learning and standardized test scores. Although not a correlational study, the percentage of students who scored proficient or higher on the mathematics portion of the state standardized tests increased after a blended learning model was implemented. Similarly, the percentage of students who scored proficient or higher on the English language arts portion of the PSSA showed a slight increase after a blended learning model was used. When surveyed, teachers perceived the Station Rotation model as the most beneficial blended learning model used in the elementary grades. Based on teacher perceptions, school districts may wish to pursue further research on the benefits of blended learning in the elementary setting.

Download or read book The Impact of Student Achievement Based Upon the Differences Between Teacher Perception of Blended Learning and Their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge written by Jason DeWayne Pizzino and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative, correlational research study was to understand if student benchmark scores in a blended learning environment were predicted by teachers’ Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). This study used a correlational methodology to examine if in a blended learning environment, teachers’ perceptions of the TPACK score predict their students’ scores on the second nine-weeks benchmark test in a middle school mathematics. Bivariate linear regression was used for data analysis to determine the predictive relationship between teachers' TPACK-21CL survey score and their students' second nine weeks benchmark score using the latest SPSS software. The data was collected from a Virginia middle school in one southwestern district using their benchmark test and the TPACK survey to determine if a teachers’ perception could impact students’ achievement. The teachers (n = 5) participating in this study completed a survey the TPACK survey on SurveyMonkey. The sample included 316 students. The results indicated that there was statistically predictive relationship between teachers’ TPACK-21CL survey and students’ second nine weeks benchmark scores. Furthermore, this study was conducted during the pandemic and should be repeated again using other subjects. This study had a limited amount of participants and future studies should be repeated including other subjects and both students and teachers would be familiar with Chromebooks.

Book excerpt: As blended learning expands educational environments, the effect of blended learning on the teacher's self-perception of effectiveness plays a significant role in the validity of the movement. The purpose of this case study explored how and why blended learning affected the self-perception of effectiveness of three middle school teachers. Using qualitative methodology, this case study conducted in the southwestern region of the United States through naturalistic inquiry, determined how blended learning affected the self-perception of teacher effectiveness. The data collection of the study included journaling, semi-structured interviews, and direct observations to examine their self-perceptions during a blended learning environment. The study identified possible limitations and advantages of blended learning in relation to effectiveness and compared their self-perception of effectiveness to their traditional teaching methods. The findings and conclusions of the study demonstrated a change in the participant's self-perception of effectiveness. Four distinct themes of environment, instruction, management, and relationships emerged from the study which may assist in identifying the skills and characteristics needed for educators to be effective leaders in blended learning. Future recommendations for research consist of conducting a similar study with under performing teachers, using criteria-based evaluation tools to support level of effectiveness, incorporate a large-scale study, implement various blended learning models within one environment to determine success of the model, and determine whether blended learning has the ability to close the achievement gap between students.
