Blended learning environment in tertiary education: a meta-analysis

Abstract

There are many ways to implement blended learning, among them are online learning, e-learning, mathematical softwares, and web-based learning. For new practitioners, it is important to determine the best practices in blended learning system to ensure successes. This paper studies a meta-analysis of a blended environment. It was conducted by searching previous studies between 2000 to present (2016), which used some keywords such as mathematical competency and blended learning. The aims of this meta-analysis are to investigate the types of blended learning implemented in the tertiary education, especially in mathematics education and their impact towards learning. The result shows e-learning most frequently used within 2000 to present. The embedded e-learning as a mediated-technology tool in a blended environment assists of conceptual understanding, especially in engineering courses and makes it easier to seek the solution in problem-solving.
