Bandura’s self-efficacy theory and Koehler and Mishra’s TPACK framework served as the conceptual framework for this study. Research questions addressed how high school teachers perceive …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Blended learning is the instructional practice that involves both face-to-face and online learning in classroom instruction. The problem at a small rural school district in the South Carolina is, despite strong evidence of the benefits and use of blended learning, many classroom teachers at the high school level still fail to consistently implement the online component of blended learning to maximize these benefits. Therefore, the purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore teachers’ perceptions of ease of use and usefulness of blended learning, how they implement it, and challenges they have with implementation. The conceptual framework for this …

The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore teachersâ perceptions and studentsâ experiences related to at-risk studentsâ motivation in blended CR courses. Kellerâs ARCS model of motivation for instructional design provided the framework for the study. Data were collected from interviews with 2 teachers, 5 students and from 2 school sites, face-to-face classroom observations, and online CR curricula. Data were analyzed through a …

Effects Of Blended Learning Using The Rotation Model On Fourth And Fifth Grade Students' Mathematics Scores, Heather Roach
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The problem addressed in this quantitative study was that school administrators are allocating funds for implementing blended learning using the rotation model into mathematics classrooms without knowing if it is effective in improving student achievement in mathematics. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of blended learning using the rotation model on fourth and fifth grade students' achievement in mathematics. Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia learning guided this study. In this quantitative quasi-experimental comparative study, data from N = 591 fourth and fifth grade students and N = 3 principals from three selected central Indiana elementary schools …
