초록

The study was carried out to determine students’ and teachers’ perceptions of a blended learning course given at a Korean University. The students filled out a questionnaire at the end of the course asking their degree of agreement with statements concerning the course. The three teachers participated in a semi-structured interview. The Cronbach’s Alpha test was used to show the internal reliability of the questionnaire. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to determine if there were any differences in responses between male and female students or between freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors. The instructors’ interview was taped and transcribed. The transcription was then manually coded using inductive coding to look for common themes. The results showed the majority of the students had not had any experience with a blended learning before this course; however, they were positive towards the blended learning format. There were no differences in responses found among any of the groups. The teachers indicated that the blended learning format was suitable for the students even though the course required more preparation than a traditional course. The study supports previous research showing positive responses by students towards blended learning courses.

Abstract

The study was carried out to determine students’ and teachers’ perceptions of a blended learning course given at a Korean University. The students filled out a questionnaire at the end of the course asking their degree of agreement with statements concerning the course. The three teachers participated in a semi-structured interview. The Cronbach’s Alpha test was used to show the internal reliability of the questionnaire. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to determine if there were any differences in responses between male and female students or between freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors. The instructors’ interview was taped and transcribed. The transcription was then manually coded using inductive coding to look for common themes. The results showed the majority of the students had not had any experience with a blended learning before this course; however, they were positive towards the blended learning format. There were no differences in responses found among any of the groups. The teachers indicated that the blended learning format was suitable for the students even though the course required more preparation than a traditional course. The study supports previous research showing positive responses by students towards blended learning courses.
