“…Other studies seek to assess whether blended instruction improves student learning with respect to specific course outcomes. Some studies seek indirect evidence of student learning through students' self-reports about how much they learned from blended instruction either exclusively (Rix, 2011) or in combination with direct evidence about student learning (Cabi, 2018;Jeong, Cañada- Cañada, & González-Gómez, 2018;Utts, Sommer, Acredolo, Maher, & Matthews, 2003). Student opinions about what helps them learn are a valuable source of evidence about student learning, since it is the students themselves whom blended instruction seeks to benefit.…”

This study examines through action research whether blended instruction in an upper-level philosophy course in introductory symbolic logic can help undergraduate philosophy students to achieve better learning outcomes than undergraduate philosophy students in a traditional, face-to-face version of the same course. The authors conclude that the change from traditional instruction to blended instruction did have a positive and significant effect on student learning as measured in course grades and student assessment scores for one course learning objective, as well as a positive but non-significant effect on student assessment scores for two additional course learning objectives.

“…According to Perera, et al [19] teacher of urban education institutions often explore new methods of teaching using the innovative techno-pedagogical approach. One of that approach is Blended learning to enables the use of online learning resources, especially web-based ones, without leaving face-to-face activities [20]. The goal of students' understanding of the learning material in the blended learning method is to help students develop better in the learning process.…”

<p>This study aims to identify learning management strategies on communication studies through Blended Learning in Higher Education. This study uses a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group research design. This design uses two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. Data collection was conducted with 82 Communication Studies students in 2019, Faculty of Social Sciences, Jakarta State University. Researchers also work with ethics communication lecturers and new media lecturers. The results of this study indicate that blended learning can increase students' knowledge of ethical communication. The average pretest value of the experimental class was 55.93, and the posttest value was 81.85. The average N-Gain in both the experimental class and the control class falls into the medium category. The average results of the N-Gain experimental class were higher at 0.56 compared to the control class at 0.36. Student learning attitudes in handling hoaxes get an average value of 2.99 while the control class is only 2.61. Although both of them have proper criteria, blended learning can also encourage participants to make the best use of face-to-face contact in developing knowledge. Thus, students are able to identify hoax news and implement it by providing information through social media to the public. The implications of this study provide convenience for lecturers in conducting learning strategies on learning ethical communication and new media for handling hoaxes.</p>

Between 2020 and 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic forced governments, around the globe, to implement innovative initiatives to avoid a complete collapse of significant sectors. Emergency remote teaching (ERT) operational frameworks were developed through the Council for Higher Education (CHE) to guide higher education (HE) institutions’ operational procedures. Considering that students at Universities of Technology (UoTs) are used to face-to-face teaching, ERT may have been aversely experienced. Thus, for this study, the review of Tourism Management students’ learning preferences during ERT across three South African UoTs were ascertained. Through means of a sequential-explanatory research design, students were asked to complete a survey and, afterwards, those students who showed interest were interviewed in focus groups. Tourism Management UoT students did not see ERT in a positive light as access to HE was a major challenge for them during lockdown periods, indicating a lack of sufficient resources to properly participate in learning activities, and crucially, a lack of access to support mechanisms during ERT.Contribution: This study offers student perspectives of remote learning experiences. This data could assist in offering a balance between ERT initiatives and learner-guided frameworks for HE. This knowledge could be critical in limiting the gap in access and success for hybrid or blended tourism programmes post-COVID-19.
