This study explored students' perceptions of the implementation of synchronous and asynchronous blended learning. The current case study investigated 78 undergraduates who enrolled in a course while involved in an experiential learning program called "Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka" (MBKM) or independent learning on an independent…

Background: Given the increased emphasis on active learning in psychology, it is important to use data to enhance these experiences. In learning courses, both live animals and virtual training laboratories have been found to enhance learning, but less research has examined student preferences. Generally, live rats are preferred, but students may…

Along with the development of the Internet and the new generation of ICT, blended learning (BL), online learning, and experiential learning (EL) are supposed to be the internationalized trends in the teaching reform of applied higher education, especially the curriculum reform.

While process simulation tools offer immense potential in chemical engineering, effectively integrating them into the educational curriculum poses challenges. This work explored and practiced online-offline blended teaching in process simulation courses. The design of this blended course was based on a comparison of students' performances in fully…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate teacher and students' perspectives on their experiences within three consecutive hybrid sport education and cooperative learning pedagogical model units. Method: Fifty elementary school students (M[subscript age] = 10.52; SD[subscript age] = 0.39) and a 36-year-old male teacher participated in…

The flipped classroom is a relatively new active learning pedagogical intervention, gaining popularity as a blended learning methodology. The flipped classroom comprises two distinct parts, directed learning carried out at the student's own pace away from the classroom and an interactive, class-based activity encouraging problem-solving and…

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, traditional university classes, and any associated experiential hands-on learning laboratories, adapted to comply with safety standards for public health, transitioning from a traditional classroom environment to a virtual one. This paper discusses the impact hands-on experiential learning laboratories have on both…

Laboratory teaching in sport and exercise sciences universities is of fundamental importance as it provides students with the necessary hands-on skills that are indispensable to future kinesiologists. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students in lockdown missed the opportunity to acquire laboratory skills. Here we report the solutions…

Although a good deal of research has been published that compares the effectiveness of communication courses delivered in face-to-face and online formats, much less is known about the comparative effectiveness of fully online versus hybrid (a.k.a. blended, mixed mode) courses. Thus, this research project examined student perceptions of teaching…

The study examines the impact of introducing several cross-cultural management courses in the undergraduate program of a business school on the students' cultural intelligence level and on their ability to manage conflict more effectively. The experimental method is used where students in the experimental and the control groups respond to the same…

Context: Sense-making, understood as meaning making or giving meaning to experience, is an integral part of everyday life, work and learning, and is a process critical in enabling people to recognise how and when to respond to situations appropriately so that they can resolve problems effectively. Earlier studies on sense-making in educational or…

Digital transformation has opened novel opportunities for educators to approach the challenges of educating tomorrow's business leaders and managers.
