SASY, RANIA AHMED MEDHAT MOHAMED ANWAR2024-09-262024-09-262021-1120195873https://bspace.buid.ac.ae/handle/1234/2699The current work had focused on the impact of blended learning on 8-12 grade students within the greater UAE area. Particularly, the author had focused on this matter as education delivery has come to shift from its traditional focus of classroom-only, instructor centric nature and toward a variety of different components, materials, and mediums being integrated into it. Specifically, the COVID-19 pandemic has made this shift in the educational paradigm immeasurably evident with student demographics around the world experiencing changes in terms of classroom size, medium of education, and quality of education. Particularly, much of the focus on the matter, through the lenses of academic discourse and investigation, has remained mainly focused on university students with very little focus on the K-12 range. To amend this as well as fill the literary gap when it comes to the impact of blended learning, the author had focused on 8-12 grade students for the purposes of analysis. For this purpose, a diverse survey questionnaire was utilized for the current purposes and distributed electronically to a total of ninety individual students in the 8-12 grade range. These individuals had offered important insight into the matter of how this range of students is impacted, academically, through blended learning. The current study was specifically conducted to answer two research questions which had entailed a focus on the mean grades of students in comparison to the instructional environments in which they took part and the impact that the environment of blended learning has on the academic achievement of students. Through their survey questionnaire, the author was able to find a considerable disparity and difference between their participants with regard to their academic achievement and the impact that blended learning has on them. Lastly, the author was able to offer a number of recommendations and insight for future academics with regard to the subject matter at hand.enblended learning, student achievementDissertationProf Christopher
