A study on students' satisfaction with Blended Learning methods: A case study at FPT Education

Published:31 January 2024Publication History

ABSTRACT

The innovation and progress in technology have brought about changes in the approach to education at universities, leading to the emergence of blended learning models. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Vietnam during 2020-2021 has accelerated the adoption of blended learning in some educational institutions, with FPT education system being at the forefront, including FPT University, FPT Polytechnic College, FPT BTEC College, and others. In this study, the authors adopt the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) proposed by [7] and the SERVQUAL model derived from the research conducted by [25] to propose a research model analyzing the factors influencing students' satisfaction with the blended learning method. The research surveyed 264 students at FPT educational institutions who participated in classes using the blended teaching method. Quantitative research methods, including reliability testing of measurement scales, exploratory factor analysis, and linear regression models, were employed. The results identified that three out of four factors have an impact on student satisfaction with the blended learning method, including: (1) Perceived usefulness, (2) Interaction, (3) Learning Environment. Additionally, some suggested solutions are proposed to help FPT educational institutions effectively implement blended learning, thereby enhancing student satisfaction with this approach in the future
