“…Within the learning environment of the universities, innovations, and opportunities are created by the swift developments of information technology. A Web-based learning platform is offered by E-Learning with a practical and flexible context, which can then strengthen both learner and teacher [26][27][28]. With the adoption of E-learning, the knowledge is shared among masses at large through the tools and systems, for example, Internet [29], Intranet [30,31], email [32], chat [33,34], discussion groups [35,36], wikis [37,38], blogs [27,39,40].…”

E-learning has gained recognition and fame in delivering and distributing educational resources, and the same has become possible with the occurrence of Internet and Web technologies. The research seeks to determine the factors that influence students' acceptance of E-learning and to find out the way these factors determine the students' intention to employ E-learning. A theoretical framework was developed based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). To obtain information from the 270 university students who utilized the E-learning system, a questionnaire was formulated. The results revealed that “social influence, perceived enjoyment, self-efficacy, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use” are the strongest and most important predictors in the intention of and students towards E-learning systems. The outcomes offer practical implications for practitioners, lawmakers, and developers in effective E-learning systems implementation to improve ongoing interests and activities of university students in a virtual E-learning atmosphere, valuable recommendations for E-learning practices are given by the research findings, and these may turn out to be as guidelines for the efficient design of E-learning systems.

“…The approach taken can utilize various types of media and technology (Borba et al, 2016). In simple terms, it can be said that blended learning is learning that combines face-to-face (conventional learning, where between educators and students interact directly with each other, each can exchange information about learning materials) and independent learning (learning with various modules which have been provided) as well as an independent online study (Wang et al, 2016and Evans et al, 2019.…”

Purpose of the study: This research aims to analyze student responses on the use of blended learning models in language courses as scientific communication at the department of primary school education teachers, Education science faculty of Universitas Negeri Jakarta. Methodology: The research engages a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The data collection technique is carried out by using a questionnaire. Before doing hypothesis testing, the research use questionnaire items analysis using the Rasch model analysis. Furthermore, descriptive statistics analysis is carried out after analyzing questionnaire items. The study revealed that students have a positive response to the use of blended learning models in language courses as scientific communication. Main Findings: The descriptive result also showed that the learning process using the blended learning model is more effective than conventional learning with face-to-face systems or with e-learning systems. The level of effectiveness is supported by the strengths of the blended learning model that the courses, assignments, and assignments can be carried out outside school hours. Applications of this study: The level of effectiveness is supported by the strengths of the blended learning model that the courses, assignments, and assignments can be carried out outside school hours. Besides, students can search for information and solve the problem with their own initiative. Novelty/Originality of this study: The application of blended e-learning can also change students' habit to always feel enthusiastic and diligent in learning. The implementation of blended learning provides various alternative learning models that can be used by teachers in delivering material so that it has implications for improving the quality of language lectures as a means of scientific communication. The use of the blended learning model is used to make students usual to technology properly and understand that instead of entertainment, technology can also enrich knowledge as well as learning materials.

“…An example of this is the b-learning teaching method, considered as a didactic process that mixes the best of the expository method with the best of the e-learning method, allowing, among other aspects, to adapt to the rhythms and learning styles of the students, as well as to provoke a change in the roles of the agents involved in the pedagogical act [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…When defining it, the authors agree in not considering this teaching method only as a mixture of classroom learning and online learning [16], but rather as a methodological basis that uses the best of the classroom learning teaching process, and the best of e-learning [17]. In order for the b-learning teaching process to be developed with a minimum of guarantees, the characteristics of those involved in the pedagogical act must be analysed [18], identifying the students' learning styles [19], and the changing the role of the teachers and instructors [20], with the student being the organiser of his or her own learning [21], while the teacher must become a guide [22], developing an open Mathematics 2020, 8, 1102 2 of 13 methodology [23], attending to the students individually [24], and promoting a more autonomous educational act in the student himself [25], with the intention of facilitating the expansion of the students' knowledge [26]. The manner and proportion of combining classroom and virtual teaching will depend on the needs and characteristics of the environment where the teaching and learning process takes place [27].…”

Information and communication technologies are a step forward in education, as they have given rise to innovative methodologies, such as blended learning. This type of training can be applied at any stage or educational typology such as basic vocational training. The main objective of this article is to know the degree of effectiveness of this methodology in this stage, specifically in an applied science module. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental design has been applied with a control group and an experimental group with a total of 147 participants. The results show how those students who have worked through b-learning have experienced better results in all the dimensions of the study. In conclusion, the implementation of this methodology in basic vocational training brings benefits, such as motivation and autonomy in the teaching–learning processes of all students.
