Effect of Blended Learning on Academic Achievement in Mathematics Among IX Grade Students

Abstract

The present study investigates the academic achievement of IX grade students in mathematics by comparing blended learning instruction and traditional face-to-face instruction. Students of both genders constitute the population of this study. The sample has selected randomly from IX grade students of a school located in Amritsar. The study has been conducted with 65 participants, 33 for the experimental group and 32 for the control group. The experimental group has been taught using blended learning instruction and the control group by using traditional face-to-face instruction. In this experimental study, the same content has been taught in both groups simultaneously for 6 weeks.  Achievement test in mathematics has been constructed according to the content taught in both groups. The finding of the study indicates a significant difference in the academic achievement of the experimental group than the control group.
