Researchers from the UST Research Center for Social Sciences and Education recently published a study investigating the factors associated with the intention of tertiary education faculty members to use the blended learning approach.
Asst. Prof. Ronaldo R. Cabauatan, PhD, Prof. Chin Uy, PhD, Asst. Prof. Ronaldo A. Manalo, DBA, and RCSSEd Director Belinda D.V. de Castro, PhD published the paper entitled 鈥淔actors Affecting Intention to Use Blended Learning Approach in the Tertiary Level: A Quantitative Approach鈥� in the Scopus-indexed journal 鈥淗igher Education for the Future,鈥� Volume 8, Issue 2.
The paper looked into the perceptions of faculty members of a comprehensive Philippine university and documented aversions to the blended learning approach due to the 鈥渁mount of time [needed] for preparing materials, checking online submissions, and communicating with students.鈥� The researchers argued that more opportunities for instructors to use the blended learning approach 鈥渨ill help them realize the importance of their role and that of the technology for the success of blended learning.鈥�
Cabauatan, Manalo, and de Castro are faculty members of the College of Commerce and Business Administration, while Uy is a professorial lecturer at the UST Graduate School.
