The The Effectiveness of Blended Learning for Engineering Mathematics

Abstract

E-learning is one of the digital learning skills in technical and vocational education training (TVET) systems. Adapting classroom interactions and online instructions became necessary to enhance students' experience in mastering a subject and improve teaching methods. This study was conducted to investigate the factors that influence the effectiveness of blended learning as a teaching method to increase student interest in the subjects. The respondents chosen are 30 students of semester 2 for DBM20023 Engineering Mathematics 2 in Politeknik Sultan Abdul Halim Muádzam. The questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents that consisted of three aspects; (1) learning aids requirement, (2) digital skills efficiency, and (3) the use of e-learning in education. The findings of this study suggest that blended learning significantly improves student interest by providing an attractive content delivery and a good presentation design. It also found that the integration of TVET and e-learning is an effective way to be used for the teaching and learning process which benefits both students and lecturers. Thus, e-learning provides potential contributions to enhance teaching skills and improve student learning styles in the TVET era.
