Blended Learning Implementation and Impact in Vocational Schools

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to systematically review empirical evidence about how necessary blended learning for vocational education, the blended learning implementation in vocational schools, and the blended learning impact in vocational schools. It analyzed 32 studies concerning blended learning implementation and impact in vocational schools, published in the last five years. Employing the metaanalysis review method, the data were extracted and analyzed by descriptive analysis and concluded in the form of a percentage. This study's results stated that blended learning could be used as a vocational education system solution by adjusting technological advances. The highest implementation was in the design and management dimensions of blended learning at 39%; It was considered the most important in adopting blended learning in vocational schools. Besides, the study of the highest impact was the increase in students' abilities and knowledge in the form of test scores, which was 42% higher than behavior and motivation's impact. Therefore, it is necessary for future research to develop blended learning in vocational schools by paying attention to the students' behavior and motivation impact.

Improving Individual Innovative Behavior and Post-COVID-19 Student’ Learning Outcomes Through Project-Based Blended Learning

“…The results of this study are reinforced by research by Destiana et al (2019) that the application of Blended Learning can improve learning outcomes, be effective, efficient, and satisfying, improve skills, knowledge, motivation, and behavior (Handayani et al, 2020); the PjBL model variable has a significant positive effect on learning outcomes (Distyasa et al, 2021); there is an interaction effect of the PjBL model and creative thinking skills on the learning outcomes of engineering students (Mursid et al, 2022). The results of the study can also be an alternative to answer the problem that the low quality of education can be caused by the use of inappropriate learning models and methods Previous research results support this study.…”

“…In order to optimize the results, the stages in designing and implementing are determining the type and material of teaching, the design used, the format of online learning, conducting trials, implementing the design properly, and preparing evaluation criteria. Blended Learning is also a response to technological developments (Kiranawati, 2019); it can improve learning outcomes, students are satisfied and agree to be applied because it is efficient and effective (Destiana et al, 2019); and have a high impact on improving knowledge and skills, behavior and motivation (Handayani et al, 2020).…”

Improving the Critical Thinking Ability of Vocational High School Students through Digital Teaching Material

“…The research conducted is included in the quantitative research with the type of experiment (Cobb et al, 2003), it's just that for this type of research it adopts a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group design (Sugiyono, 2018). The total sample in this research used 70 vocational high school students, which were divided into a control class of 35 students and an experimental class of 35 who were randomly selected (Handayani et al, 2020). In short, the control class is a class that during the learning process does not use flipbooks in learning, while the experimental class is a class that during the learning process uses flipbooks as a learning media.…”

The blended education experiences of vocational and technical high school teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic

“…Alanyazında mesleki ve teknik eğitimde harmanlanmış eğitimin kullanımı üzerine yapılan birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Yapılan bu çalışmaların bir kısmının sonuçları incelendiğinde meslek derslerinde harmanlanmış eğitimin öğrencilerin bağımsız çalışma becerilerine olumlu katkı yaptığı (Handayani, Maulida, Sugiyanta, 2020) görülmüştür. Ayrıca harmanlanmış eğitimin öğrencilerin akademik başarılarını olumlu yönde etkilediği belirtilmiştir (Deechai ve Sovajassatakul, 2019).…”
