UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 737 students at the University of Zambia from October 2022 to April 2023. Data were analysed using Stata version 16.1.
UNASSIGNED: Of the 737 participants, 51.6% were female and 56.5% agreed that blended learning should continue even after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, 78.4% of the students believed that group discussions were more suitable in the classroom than online learning. Most students (67.1%) disagreed that they preferred online learning to classroom learning. Furthermore, 77.6% of the students disagreed that online learning gave more satisfaction than classroom learning.
UNASSIGNED: This study found that most students recommended the continuation of blended learning after the pandemic. However, they believed that follow-up tutorials and assessments were better undertaken in physical classrooms than online learning. These findings are important in sensitising stakeholders in the education sector and governments to consider blended learning as a teaching strategy in the future. There is a need to develop and implement curricula that offer blended learning to students as well as ensure the students have the necessary facilities and equipment to support such learning.
■这项横断面研究是在2022年10月至2023年4月期间在赞比亚大学的737名学生中进行的。使用Stata16.1版分析数据。
■在737名参与者中,51.6%是女性,56.5%认为混合学习即使在COVID-19大流行之后也应该继续。然而,78.4%的学生认为小组讨论比在线学习更适合在课堂上进行。大多数学生(67.1%)不同意他们更喜欢在线学习而不是课堂学习。此外,77.6%的学生不同意在线学习比课堂学习更满意。
■这项研究发现,大多数学生建议在大流行后继续混合学习。然而,他们认为,在物理教室中进行后续辅导和评估要比在线学习更好。这些发现对于提高教育部门和政府利益相关者的敏感性非常重要,以将混合学习视为未来的教学策略。有必要制定和实施为学生提供混合学习的课程,并确保学生拥有必要的设施和设备来支持这种学习。
