The Implementation of Blended Learning in the Field of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in a Vocational School

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using blended learning in the field of electrical and electronic technology in vocational schools. The primary focus of education is to increase the effectiveness of using a flexible learning environment for instruction and practice in the fields of electrical and electronic technology. Periodically, teachers provide guidance on problems as well as lessons that are classroom and teacher-student oriented, which remain relatively consistent during the teaching and learning process. The research design employs quantitative methods through selected topics. The respondents consisted of 68 students from Vocational Colleges in the Johor area. Findings revealed the effects of blended learning based on knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The study underscores the potential long-term consequences of using blended learning. Recommendations include encouraging students to incorporate blended learning into their learning process. The implications and recommendations are discussed to address the effect on knowledge, skills, and attitudes using blended learning.
