| dc.description.abstract | With the rapid proliferation of ICT devices in every field of endeavor and their usage becoming increasingly easier and more affordable, using blended learning in all levels of education becomes very imperative. However, classroom practices continue to be dominated by instructor led teaching. This study sought to unearth how blended learning can be applied as a teaching and learning approach at the SHS level and its implications if any on students’ academic performance, considering that traditional face-to-face technique has been used over the years with its antecedent problems at that level and below. Two main research objectives were set. Action Case study and subsequently a formative experiment were conducted at the Suhum Senior High Technical School where ICT as a subject is taught to all students in the various SHS levels. Opportunity sampling was employed in sampling two hundred (200) SHS 3 students as research participants according to preselected criteria relevant to the research objectives. Qualitative data gathered was analyzed with Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS), specifically Nvivo. The study found out that the BL environment made learning last - longer and easy for students and further provided a different point of view for students and propelled the desire to take other subjects with the blended approach; although not without converse opinions. Results of this study are discussed and recommendations given in light of implications for further research and policy planning. | |
