Blended learning using mobile APP in secondary vocational instruction: design and implementation

Published: 10 January 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Using "Superstar Learning Pass" mobile APP in china, a new mode enhanced blended learning was designed and implemented. The effectiveness of the blended learning in regard to students' achievement was evaluated in comparison to traditional classroom instruction, attitudes towards the course and the APP satisfaction by questionnaire. Experimental study design was carried out. The sample of the study consisted of 50 secondary vocation school students enrolled in 'computer science' course. The control and experimental groups composed of 25and 25 students respectively, and the experiment lasted 8 weeks. The results show that the blended learning mode has a positive effect on improving the academic performance and attitude of secondary vocational students.
