Effect of Blended Learning on Academic Achievement of Student Teachers in Bijnor

Abstract

Scientific and technological advancements will be shifting the focus of the learning system from instructors to learners. Scientific advancements have significantly transformed the learning system by introducing innovative technologies and tools that enhance educational experiences. These developments not only make learning more interactive and engaging but also support individualized education tailored to each student's needs. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of blended learning on the academic performance of B.Ed. students. The researchers selected 200 students studying in six different B.Ed. colleges of Bijnor using purposive sampling. According to the study's findings, blended learning is preferred since there are notable distinctions between the instructional approaches in terms of achievement test scores. This suggests that students who experienced blended learning performed better on the achievement test compared to those who did not. Blended learning is a teaching strategy that merges conventional classroom instruction with online learning elements. Usually, it combines online exercises like interactive modules, multimedia presentations, and virtual discussions with traditional classroom Instructions. The combination of these methods allows for flexibility, personalized learning experiences, and increased student engagement. The findings suggest that implementing blended learning in B.Ed. programs can positively impact students' achievement. It may be beneficial for educators and institutions to consider incorporating blended learning approaches into their teaching practices to enhance student outcomes and foster positive attitudes towards learning.
