The Impact of Blended Learning on Students Using iBox Platform: Evidence of Adu Gyamfi Senior High School

ABSTRACT

The study investigated the  impact of blended learning on students using IBOX platform.  A  blended  learning  environment  was  designed  to  provide opportunity  for  integrating  the  learning  management  system  “moodle”  with face-to-face  classroom  interaction.  Despite  the  implementation  of  blended learning, the poor student performance and outcomes persist. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore how teaching processes and practices at  the  institution  have  influenced  blended  learning  to  improve  student achievement.  The study was underpinned by  social constructivist framework. Data  collection  involved  semi-structured  interviews  with  ten  senior  high school  teachers.  The  findings  revealed  that  the  use  of  blended  learning technology  approaches  in  teaching  increased  students’  performance.   It  was recommended  that  training  should  be  provided  to  teachers  to  address  their varying  needs  on  blended  learning  development.  Teachers  need  for appropriate  technological  orientation  to  the  IBOX  platform  must  be considered for both students and teachers
