The Effect of Using Blended Learning on Achievement among the Students of Child Computerized Programs Courses in the Faculty of Educational Sciences at The University of Jordan

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of using blended learning on achievement among the students of child computerized programs courses in the faculty of educational sciences at the University of Jordan. The study followed the quasi-experimental approach. Twenty seven students were intentionally chosen from the students of child computerized programs courses in the school of educational sciences at the University of Jordan to form the members of the study during the first semester of the academic year 2020/2021.The students were divided randomly into two control and experimental groups: the control group studied using the usual method and the number of its members was (13) students. The experimental group studied using blended learning and its number was (14) students. To achieve the objectives of the study, an achievement test consisting of (16) items was applied, indications of validity and reliability were extracted.  In order to answer the research question, means, standard deviations, the accompanying variance analysis, and t-test for two independent samples were conducted. The results of the study show that there were statistically significant differences between the arithmatic means of the performance of the experimental group students and the arithmatic means of the performance of the control group students in the post-achievement test due to the teaching method and in favor of the experimental group students. In light of the findings, the researchers recommend using a blended learning as a teaching method for undergraduate students in faculty of educational sciences at the University of Jordan.
