Abstract

Blended learning has been identified as one of the 10 emerging trends in education. This study evaluates students' perception of their experience in a blended learning environment. A 35-item survey based on seven factors related to Blended Learning was conducted. Descriptive statistics are used to describe the responses at the factor level. Correlation analysis is used to look at the relationship in each factor. Reliability analysis is used to check the reliabilities of the seven-factor scales. The t-test examined the influence of age and years of teaching experience on the participating teachers' view on Blended Learning.
