Blended Learning as an educational approach presenting a combination of traditional face-to-face learning and Online Learning, has progressed tremendously in present times. While traditional learning requires presence of both teacher and student with some elements of time, place and pace, binding them together, online learning, frees them, offering flexibility to learn at own time, place and pace. In online learning, students have the opportunity to exercise more control over their time. They can revisit content for additional clarity. Personalized learning paths is the key highlight of blended learning approach. Blended Learning has evolved over the years, with state-of-art models, frameworks and strategies developing over time. This text is a detailed compilation of concepts of blended learning ranging from definition, need, features, models, advantages & disadvantages and comparisons with traditional face-to-face teaching learning, to comprehensive coverage of state-of-art evolution and progression, evaluation and effectiveness assessment.
STEM disciplines comprise Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Each of the disciplines further encompass several areas. STEM has its importance as it has potential to transform the technology users to technology creators or innovators. Fostering creativity, inculcating problem solving and critical thinking skills is integral aspect of STEM education that advances students to pursue it to for lucrative careers in future. In contemporary times, the interest towards STEM subjects has increased, primarily due to their contribution to workforce and economy. Related aspects such as promoting student interest towards these subjects, encouraging individuals to pursue careers in STEM, involving and exciting specific target groups such as women, specially abled population, to choose STEM, experiment and develop new ways of teaching STEM subjects, has gained attention. The present text will comprehensively cover blended learning approach for each of the STEM disciplines and the impact thereof. Further, the text will cover the problem-based wearable devices and their role in education programs following blended learning approach. Blended Learning in K-12 education has an immense role as foundation to learning for students in their early education. Its study in various scenarios, specifically during Covid-era is an interesting phenomenon to analyse. The text will cover these related perspectives.
Blended, Online, and hybrid learning frameworks are research-informed models necessary for curriculum design, course planning, instructor-aligned goal preparation, and outcome-based learnings. For example, Backward design with conceptual maps helps in revising the course, syllabus, learning practices, and adopted procedures. In history, people have taken great initiatives to tackle all odds and educated needful students.
