The Development of Blended Learning Model with E-Learning System Approach at Higher Education

Abstract

This research focused on the effectiveness of e-learning users in the process of learning and teaching in higher education. It discussed the implementation of information and communication technology in the modern teaching and learning activities in higher education institution. E-Learning System is a learning system which is used as a means of teaching and learning that is conducted without having face to face method directly between teachers with students with the subject matter and related resources. The purpose of this research was to develop a blended learning system using e-learning as a learning tool that facilitated students in learning. To achieve the objectives of research, this research used a quantitative approach to collect data using the pre and post tests and questionnaires. The samples in this study were students of Islamic economy which consisted of two classes, with a total of 50 students who enrolled in the study. The results showed that the differences of average score of pre-and post-test was-29.43720. While the t-test that tests Ho: pre-test = post-test gives a value of t = -37.43720 with a degree of freedom of 49. While the p-value for the two-sided test of 0,000 is smaller than α = 0.05. This data approves that the statistical hypothesis Ho: pre-test = post-test is rejected, meaning that the average pre-test and post-test scores were significantly different. Furthermore, the homogeneity test of the data If the x² count < 3,841, therefore it can be inferred that Ho which was accepted was homogeneous sample data. The findings of this study can be used to recommend the effective ways of teaching and process which use e-learning that can enhance the learning outcomes of students in higher education. The implication of this research is to encourage teachers to use technology and e-learning to facilitate students with technology to improve academic learning results.
