Dr. G. Singaravelu

Abstract :

 The study ings to light the effectiveness of Blended learning in enhancing the learners of Bachelor of Education in distance mode of Bharthiar university, Coimbatore. Span of attention, aptitude, achievement, Learning abstractness and  concretness,motivation level and problem–solving skills are developed through the Blended Learning. Blended Learning can combine the positive aspects of the two learning environments, classroom–based learning and e–Learning (Bonk & Graham, 2006).Blended Learning requires some sort of experience to take place. And the experience may be quite different for each learner in that it has to consider differences  (Banathy, 1968): Blended Learning has been found to be a viable and effective approach to deliver high–quality, up–to–date, on–demand learning solutions in the face of diminishing education budgets in higher education, further education or business education.. Nissen, Elke; Tea, Elena (2012)   explored how second generation tutors within blended learning courses link the face–to–face and online course modalities––in their representations as well as through their pedagogical activities––and which aspects help them to feel involved in the course.   Objectives of the study:  1.To find out the difference in average score between the pre test of control group and post test of control group.2.To find out the  difference in average score between the pre test of Experimental group and post test of Experimental group. 3.To find out the  difference in average score between the post test of controlled group and the  post test of Experimental group.4.To find out the impact of Blended Learning in distance education. Methodology: Equivalent group Experimental method was adopted in the study. Subjects: Fifty students–teacher of studying in Bachelor of Education in Distance mode were selected as sample for the study.
