Abstract

The development of digital technology has encouraged the implementation of blended learning as a learning strategy that combines face-to-face and online learning methods. In the context of English language learning, blended learning is believed to be able to improve learners' participation and learning outcomes, but empirical evidence on its effectiveness is still limited. This study aims to analyze the effect of blended learning implementation on learners' engagement and performance in English language learning at secondary education level. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 120 students from two purposively selected high schools. The experimental group used a Learning Management System (LMS)-based blended learning model, while the control group followed conventional learning. Data were collected through learning engagement questionnaire and English achievement test, then analyzed using independent t-test and simple linear regression. The results showed that students in the blended learning group had higher levels of engagement and significantly better learning achievement than the control group (p < 0.05). The findings indicate that blended learning can be an effective strategy in improving the quality of English language learning, particularly in increasing students' active participation and academic outcomes.

Abstract

Backround: The Montessori method offers an innovative approach to early childhood education, but its implementation in Indonesia faces various challenges.Objective: This study examines the effectiveness and implementation of the Montessori method in Indonesian PAUD institutions using a mixed-method approach with a sequential explanatory design. The research was carried out in 5 Montessori PAUD institutions in Jakarta, Bandung, and Yogyakarta (January-June 2024).Method: The quantitative component involved 120 children aged 3-6 years with pre-test and post-test using ASQ-3, Child Development Inventory, Montessori Assessment Checklist, SSRS, and DESSA-mini, analyzed by paired sample t-test and ANOVA. The qualitative component included structured observation (600 hours), in-depth interviews with 25 teachers and 5 principals, and focus group discussions with 100 parents, analyzed using thematic analysis.Findings and Implications: Quantitative results showed a significant increase (p<0.001): independence 42.7% (Cohen’s d=1.87), cognitive 38.5%, and social-emotional 44.3%. The quality of the prepared environment is strongly correlated with developmental outcomes (r=0.78). The qualitative analysis identified five themes: prepared environment as a foundation, transformation of the role of teachers into observer-facilitators (68% of the time for observation), practical life activities as the key to independence, mixed-age grouping facilitating peer learning, and implementation challenges including the scarcity of trained teachers (68%), high material costs (76%), and parental misconceptions (58%).Conclusion: The Montessori method is effective in optimizing the holistic development of children when implemented with high fidelity. Government policies are needed for certification recognition, material subsidies, development of local production, and systematic parent education to expand access to quality Montessori education.
