Abstract

This study examines the effect of blended learning on student learning achievement. Blended learning is a mixture of online and face-to-face or traditional learning. The purpose of this research is to find out the positive or negative effect of blended learning. The method used is descriptive quantitative. Data was obtained from distributing questionnaires to selected respondents. The data that has been collected and calculated shows that there are more positive effects of blended learning where one of them is the achievement of better student academic scores. However, it is crucial to note a divergence in student preferences revealed in the study. Despite the positive academic outcomes, some students express a preference for face-to-face learning over online components within the blended learning model. While the academic achievements indicate a positive trend, the acknowledgment of student preferences introduces a layer of complexity. The recognition that some students favor traditional face-to-face instruction suggests that the success of blended learning may vary among individuals. the study underscores the need for further research to delve into the potential negative effects of blended learning. By addressing this aspect, educators and policymakers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics involved in implementing blended learning approaches, facilitating informed decision-making to optimize the learning experience for diverse student populations. Further research is also needed to analyze the negative effect of blended learning

Abstract

This paper aimed to analyze the multifaceted impact of modern technological integration in education on pedagogy, learning processes and outcomes. A detailed literature review was conducted examining key developments in educational technologies over the past two decades including online learning platforms, 1:1 device initiative, and adaptive learning software. Impacts were analyzed using existing evidence from multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses on learning analytics, engagement, student achievement and teaching practices. The integration of technology in classrooms was found to enable more self-directed, personalized learning approaches leading to significant gains in core skills. However, uneven access to technology and issues around data privacy were also highlighted. Benefits were maximized when technologies supplemented rather than substituted teachers. With astute policy and teacher training, classroom technology presents transformative opportunities to improve access, equity, achievement and prepare students with vital future-oriented skills. However, care must be taken to continually address ethical issues around privacy, screen time, and digital divides. Understanding both opportunities and pitfalls will be key as education systems leverage technologies effectively to enhance learning on a global scale in coming decades

Abstract

This study investigates the intercultural relationship development of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students participating in an International Learning Program. Amid travel restrictions, a limited number of students engaged in a cross-border experience in Malaysia and Singapore. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research examines the stages of intercultural relationship development and associated challenges. Twenty eighth-grade students from East Java, Indonesia, comprising an equal distribution of male and female participants, were selected for the study. Through analysis, three distinctive stages emerged in the process of intercultural competence (ICC) development: "trial," involving the exploration of new customs and habits; "enmeshment," focusing on individual character growth in new contexts; and "renegotiation," emphasizing dialogue and reflection on cultural experiences' impacts. Drawing on existing literature, the study proposes strategies for ICC development, including self-awareness, cultural awareness, motivation enhancement, and cultural knowledge acquisition. Additionally, ICC improvement techniques, such as cultural assimilation, comparison methods, and reformulation, were identified as valuable tools for English language instruction.
