THE PRACTICE OF BLENDED

LEARNING

Prepared by: GROUP 5

Introduction

As an emerging or developing teaching approach, it

has attracted the attention of both the academic
and corporate practitioners in education and in
training. While it has started to take its move in
many educational institutions worldwide, debates
continue to question the nobility of this teaching
practice.
 Historically,
according to As an educational
Charles Graham, technologist and a
blended learning is practitioner of
the convergence blended learning,
between face-to- Graham would like to
face learning view blended learning
environments and as “a combination of
computer-mediated strategies and
(or distributed) approaches in the
learning process of teaching
environments. and learning using
web-driven
instructional
resources.
BLENDED LEARNING
WHAT IS BLENDED LEARNING
The term blended learning is generally applied to the
practice of using both online and in-person learning
experiences when teaching students. In a blended-
learning course

For example, students might attend a class taught by a

teacher in a traditional classroom setting, while also
independently completing online components of the
course outside of the classroom. In this case, in-class
time may be either replaced or supplemented by online
learning experiences, and students would learn about
the same topics online as they do in class—i.e., the
online and in-person learning experiences would
parallel and complement one another.

From this 2nd pic. It is Also called hybrid learning and mixed-
mode learning, blended- learning experiences may vary widely
in design and execution from school to school.

For example, blended learning may be provided in an existing

school by only a few teachers or it may be the dominant
learning-delivery model around which a school’s academic
program is designed.
-OVER THE PAST
DECADE DIGITAL
And ONLINE
LEARNING-
Options have become more popular and more
widely used in public schools, although many
schools have been slow or reluctant to adopt
new technologies for number of complex
reasons, ranging from inadequate funding,
technologies, and computing networks to
general organizational recalcitrance and
resistance to change. Given the fact that the
internet and most digital learning
technologies are still relatively new,
instructional alternatives such as blended
learning could be seen as de facto reform
strategies—i.e., by incorporating blended
learning, schools and teachers are forced to
change the ways in which they have
historically instructed and interacted with
students.
 ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES
Generally speaking, blended learning offers
many potential advantages and
disadvantages that will largely depend on
the quality of the design and execution of a
given blended-learning model. Advocates
may argue that blended learning gives
students the benefits of both online
learning and in-person instruction.
-Critics of blended-learning-
Experiences may also question whether the
practice can provide students with enough
personal attention, guidance, and assistance
from teachers, especially for students who
may not be self-directed, self-disciplined, or
organized enough to learn effectively without
regular supervision from teachers and adults.

Evidence that Blending Works

We are so early into the evolution of blended learning

that little formal research exists on how to construct
the most effective blended program designs. However,
research from institutions such as Stanford University
and the University of Tennessee have given us valuable
insight into some of the mechanisms by which blended
learning is better than both traditional methods and
individual forms of e-learning technology alone.
• As future teachers, the
call is timely for you to
acquire empirical and
conceptual knowledge
and understanding
about the promise and
practice of blended
learning.
 Models of Blended Learning

In the case of blended learning, this teaching approach

comes four (4) models. Horn and Staker (2014), came up
with the following graphic visual representation of
blended learning. The graph illustrates the combination
of brick-and-mortar classroom representing the face-to-
face instruction with blended learning.
 1.ROTATION MODEL

In this model, the students rotate on

a fixed schedule or at the teacher’s
discretion between learning
modalities, at least one of each is
online learning. There are four (4)
sub-models under this rotation
model.
 The (4) four Sub-Models

•
A.Station B.LAB Rotation
Rotation Model

C.Flipped D.Individual
Classroom Rotation
 A.Station Rotation

In this station rotation

model, the students
experience the rotation
within a contained
classroom or group of
classrooms. The
station rotation model
differs from the
individual rotation model
because students
rotate through all of the
stations, not only
those assigned to them.
B.LAB Rotation Model

The LAB Rotation Model is the

same as the Station Rotation
except that the students rotate
to the computer laboratory or in
multimedia room for the online
learning stations
C.Flipped Classroom

This model allows

students to participate in
online learning off-site in
place of traditional
homework and attend the
brick-and-mortar school
for face-to-face, and for
teacher-guided practice or
projects.
D.Individual Rotation

In this model, the teacher

gives each student enrolled
in a particular course or
subjects an individualized
playlist and does not
necessarily rotate to each
available station or
modality. The teacher
provides the individual
student schedules.
2.Flex Model
3.A La Carte Model
4.Enriched Virtual Model

In this model, a course or

subject in which students
have required face-toface
learning sessions with
their teacher and then are
free to complete their
remaining coursework
remotely from the face-to-
face teacher.
