Attitude towards Blended Teaching- Learning Approach: A Study on Postgraduate Students

Abstract

This study examined attitude towards blended teaching-learning approach among post-graduate students. The descriptive survey method was used with self-created questionnaire (ATBTLA) to examine attitude of postgraduate students, (N=313) toward the blended teaching-learning approach. For data analysis, the investigators developed a research model using SPSS-23 and graphical representation to represent the attitude towards the blended teaching-learning approach. The present study revealed that most students (68.89%) scored between 56.03 and 66.01, indicating a moderate attitude towards blended teaching-learning approach. It was also found that most students were satisfied with the blended teaching-learning process. The results revealed that there was no difference in the PG level students’ attitude towards blended teaching-learning approach based on gender (0.101, p>0.05), residence (0.568, p>0.05), family type (1.058, p> 0.05), semester at university (1.302, p>0.05), nature of course (1.531, p> 0.05), nature of internet access (0.343, p> 0.05), devices used for learning (0.043, p> 0.05), their experience of using the blended mode of learning (0.813, p>0.05) towards the blended teaching-learning approach. The findings suggest that students believed that providing the course in a blended style made it easier to follow and boosted their learning.
