Assessment for Learning MOOC’s Updates
Evaluation of a Blended Learning Program in Senior High School
Description:
This evaluation takes a close look at how a blended learning program works in a senior high school setting, where teachers mix in-person classes with online modules. The main focus is on student engagement, academic results, how well teachers adapt, and whether the technology holds up. Researchers collected data through surveys and interviews, and they dug into performance analytics from the learning management system.
Strengths:
Comprehensive data collection: By gathering both numbers—grades, attendance, completion rates—and personal feedback from students and teachers, the evaluation paints a full picture of how the program performs.
Real-world focus: It doesn’t just live in theory; the evaluation follows what actually happens in classrooms, so the recommendations come from real experience.
Supports innovation: By looking at how digital tools and face-to-face teaching fit together, the study offers guidance for improving future blended learning programs.
Weaknesses:
Heavy reliance on technology: The evaluation risks missing the reality that not all students have the same access to devices or reliable internet.
Short time frame: Since the evaluation only covers the short term, it doesn’t show whether students keep learning or if teachers keep adapting over time.
Possible bias: When survey responses rely on self-reporting, there’s always a chance they reflect more opinion than fact when it comes to real learning outcomes.
