Teachers’ and Students’ Perceptions and Practices towards Blended Learning. The Case study of Bentoumi Moussa Secondary School, Setif.

Abstract

Abstract Blended learning is receiving an increasing interest in all the fields, but most importantly in the field of education. Especially after the outbreak of the covid-19 virus all around the world imposing a long-lasting lockdown. During this lockdown most of countries adopted blended learning as a solution to maintain the teaching-learning process. As a result, this study was conducted to investigate teachers and students’ perceptions and practices towards blended learning. The data were gathered through suing Two questionnaires one for the teachers (5 teachers) and one for the students (50 students). The data collected were analyzed through a descriptive analytic method and revealed that students perceived BL positively unlike their teachers who perceived it negatively. This negative perception may be due to the lack of technological devices and internet stability. Another important finding is related to trainings, both teachers and students received few trainings about ICTs and BL. At the end some recommendations were suggested for further research, one of them is the ministry’s role to provide teachers with trainings and updating the course books used to cope with blended learning.
