Description:

This proposal aims at understanding students’ conceptions of learning using a blended learning approach. Field learning tasks undertaken by students would be shared on the e-learning platform for peer comments and feedbacks. This way of using information technologies in field-learning seeks to engage students to reflect on and be self-motivated in their own learning. Through constructive interchanges of ideas, each group would benefit by analyzing the work of their peers, and self-reflection of peers’ comments on their own work. Students’ evaluation about the concepts learnt through blended learning approach, and its usefulness are indicators of effectiveness of this pedagogical mode. Data is collected from annotated comments and feedbacks, questionnaires and group or individual interviews.
