Blended learning just might be the best new thing in education. It\u2019s undoubtedly one of the things that got a leg up by the COVID-19 pandemic, and many hope never to return to the old ways. <\/span><\/p>\n As a result, educational reforms that are long overdue might be starting right now. The reality of the worldwide social distancing pushed out the fear of the unknown fast. So, blended classrooms seem to be the answer everyone needs. <\/span><\/p>\n The good news is:<\/span><\/p>\n Both short and long term, combining online content and face-to-face instruction does the trick.<\/span><\/p>\n Blended learning statistics <\/b>show engagement is higher when we use the techniques and methods that keep up with the students\u2019 interests instead of the slow-paced traditional lecture-based approach.<\/span> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Now:<\/span><\/p>\n One of the <\/span>facts about learning <\/span>is that 100% of online models aren\u2019t anywhere close to ideal. However, the blended and flipped approach, where remote and in-person teaching is combined, proves to be very successful.<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s why at <\/span>Mark in Style<\/span><\/a>, we decided to study the latest stats and shed more light on the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s dive right in.<\/span><\/p>\n What is blended learning<\/span>? <\/span><\/p>\n Blended learning is a combination of online and face-to-face learning. It is also known as \u2018hybrid learning\u2019, \u2018technology-mediated instruction\u2019, \u2018web-enhanced instruction\u2019, \u2018mixed-mode instruction\u2019, or the \u2018flipped classroom\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n (<\/span>Cambridge Assessment<\/span>, <\/span>Springer Link<\/span>) <\/span><\/p>\n Online learning is considered to be anything with over<\/span> 80%<\/b> of online content. The <\/span>blended learning definition<\/span> by Boelens, Van Laer, De Wever, and Elen (2015) says it is: <\/span><\/p>\n [L]earning that happens in an instructional context which is characterised by a deliberate combination of online and classroom-based interventions to instigate and support learning.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It has to be a proper mix of both, though, as just sending prepared lectures to a <\/span>virtual learning environment<\/span> platform doesn’t make the programme blended learning.<\/span><\/p>\n (<\/b>Springer Link<\/span>, <\/span>Hot Lunch Tray<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n Recent definitions of blended learning stress that <\/span>30% to 50%<\/b> of the course material should be delivered through online activities, while <\/span>50% to 70%<\/b> of the teaching should happen face to face.<\/span><\/p>\n According to Staker and Horn, there are four models:<\/span><\/p>\n (<\/b>E-Learning Infographics<\/span>, <\/span>EdTech Review<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n Students are often bored by the slow pace of traditional learning, which leads to lower engagement. In a study done by the Center for Digital Education, <\/span>73%<\/b> of teachers who use blended learning reported increased engagement. <\/span><\/p>\n (<\/b>E-Learning Infographics<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n As many as <\/span>59%<\/b> of students show more motivation for learning in this type of education setup.<\/span><\/p>\n Around <\/span>60%<\/b> of teachers believe the <\/span>blended learning models<\/span> have helped improve their students\u2019 academic ability.<\/span><\/p>\n (<\/b>EdTech Review<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n Blended learning was a success among high school algebra students, with some performance improvement. The best practice for this type of subject that requires a lot of focus is a combination of <\/span>two online and three classroom days a week.<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n (<\/b>Method Schools<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s easy to see the <\/span>impact of blended learning on student outcomes<\/span> through completion rates. Up to <\/span>94%<\/b> of all students engaged in a blended learning programme finished the selected course successfully.<\/span><\/p>\n Blended learning success rates <\/span>on AP tests are also high, as <\/span>more than six in ten<\/b> students coming from blended programmes had high scores on Advanced Placement exams.<\/span><\/p>\n (<\/b>Macro Connect<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, up to <\/span>82%<\/b> of students prefer a blended learning environment to a traditional one.<\/span><\/p>\n But it’s not only them – the parents want it too.<\/span><\/p>\n Check this out:<\/span><\/p>\n Over <\/span>36%<\/b> of parents asked that their children have more online classes. Around <\/span>48%<\/b> of high schoolers\u2019 parents say they wish the schools offered more online content. <\/span><\/p>\n (<\/b>Macro Connect<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n Having specific resources and tools to communicate in a blended learning environment is important to students. The <\/span>blended learning approach <\/span>to class communication is one of the factors that influence students’ satisfaction with the programme. <\/span><\/p>\n Now:<\/span><\/p>\n Schools tend to use existing social media platforms<\/a>. Still, up to <\/span>57%<\/b> prefer to lead separate school and social lives, and <\/span>60%<\/b> respond better to having a different <\/span>blended learning platform <\/span>from the ones they use for entertainment, socialising, and social learning<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Except when it comes to YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n (<\/b>Click View<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n Video is the preferred way of learning for many young people today, and school material offered through YouTube is rather popular. However, they do have high expectations in this field as they consume a lot of video content on social media and can often create high-level quality content themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n Blended learning statistics for 2020<\/b> show <\/span>one-quarter<\/b> of students think course-related videos are the most useful online learning tool. <\/span><\/p>\n What\u2019s more:<\/span><\/p>\n Some <\/span>48%<\/b> of students say interactive polls and quizzes are their favourites. Finally, the same percentage of students report practising online questions is their prefered way of learning.<\/span><\/p>\n (<\/b>EdTech Review<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n Just over <\/span>three-quarters <\/b>of teachers think blended learning is good for students and believe in its benefits. As support for these programmes grew, the early predictions were that half of K-12 in the United States might be online by <\/span>2019<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n (<\/b>EdTech Review<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n More than <\/span>four-fifths<\/b> of participants in the <\/span>blended learning research<\/span> report that the district goal offered a better-personalised<\/span> learning <\/span>experience, while <\/span>73%<\/b> report the goal was raising engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n K-12 programmes in the US mostly use these three learning models:<\/span><\/p>\nKey Blended <\/b>Learning Facts<\/b> a Glance (Editors Choice)<\/b><\/h2>\n
