Effectiveness of blended learning on the academic performance of college algebra students

Abstract / Excerpt:

Blended learning is a modern teaching method, combining the sturdy traditional method with the use of technology making it possible to combine strategies to improve performance in Mathematics. Quasi-experimental research with pretest and post-test design was used to establish differences in mean and gain scores between traditional and blended learning in teaching College Algebra. Traditional method was found to have significant differences in mechanical and analytical skills while blended learning showed significant differences in comprehension, mechanical and analytical skills. Moreover, blended learning established a significant gain in comprehension and analytical skills over traditional method. The study proves the effectiveness of both methods; but also establishes viability of blended learning in improving comprehension and analytical skills in college algebra.
