20.500.12556/RUL-149324 Teacher, think twice about the importance and pedagogical value of blended learning design in VET The integration of technology into educational institutions is transforming education and fostering innovative approaches to learning. Blended learning, an increasingly popular approach, integrates technology with traditional teaching approaches. Blended learning can overcome the limitations associated with using technology purely as a tool, facilitating its full integration into the educational process. The present study involved 106 students enrolled in a vocational education program (VET) in Slovenia. The students were subjected to a pilot implementation of blended learning, and their experiences were subsequently analyzed and evaluated. The results showed that the use of different teaching approaches led to different outcomes in terms of student workload, learning outcomes, and motivation. The different teaching approaches were found to present different levels of difficulty for students. For example, live sessions and the integration of virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) technology presented greater challenges. Conversely, collaborative group work and online courses focused on developing professional skills were found to be beneficial. The study also highlighted the importance of feedback and instructor support in online learning environments. In general, the results of our study suggest that the adoption of blended learning in education can lead to positive outcomes. However, it is important to emphasize the importance of careful planning and thoughtful consideration of optimal pedagogical strategies. technology integration blended learning vocational education and training learning design teaching approaches education učna tehnologija kombinirano učenje poklicno izobraževanje strokovno izobraževanje načrtovanje učenja učni pristopi izobraževalna tehnologija pedagogika true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-09-06 11:12:42 2023-09-06 11:12:45 2026-08-31 10:09:57 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 12 str. iss. 9, art. 882 Vol. 13 Sep. 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 377 2227-7102 10.3390/educsci13090882 163354115 education-13-00882-v2.pdf education-13-00882-v2.pdf 1 83F6454FF0A0F9070F4F54848B3D62D5 5c6b224c39decc7b9904d95160caa68a1a3a95b97d9280d83d77dccd88f12a64 7828f71d-4c9a-11ee-9934-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=173764 https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/13/9/882 1 8b223688-4c95-11ee-9934-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=173758 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
