Attitude of University Students Towards Blended Learning in Southern Punjab

Abstract

The research paper examines the perception of the students in the university of Southern Punjab on blended learning which is pedagogical method that combines face to face teaching with digital learning platforms. As technology-enhanced learning steadily gains traction, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic and unofficial disasters such as earthquakes and floods, the perception of blended learning in students has become essential to Pakistani higher education (Adnan and Anwar, 2020; Graham, 2019). The descriptive quantitative research design was used, where a stratified random sample of the university students of various disciplines was used. The structured questionnaire was used to gather data on the attitudes of students on the dimensions like accessibility, flexibility, interactivity, technological preparedness, and the effectiveness as perceived. The SPSS v.25 was the statistical program used. The findings showed that the students had a positive attitude towards blended learning, with their favorite feature being flexibility and accessibility (Rasheed et al., 2020). Nevertheless, difficulties in the form of technological barriers, the absence of training, and the unstable internet connectivity were identified (Ali, 2021)
