| Abstract : |
| In Malaysia, blended e-learning pedagogical practices have made a very rapid penetration into Malaysian schools. However, there is little Malaysian studies on the affordances and obstacles of blended e-learning. This study examines and understands the affordances and obstacles of using Blended E-Learning Practices (BeLPs) and develops change actions that can lead to better use of BeLPs. A total of 27 practicing teachers were involved in this study. A phenomenological perspective was employed for this study. In-depth interviews with participating teachers was carried out to understand their perceptions on the usage of BeLPs. A majority of them agreed that there are many practical advantages to teach and learn using BeLPs. Significant affordances are to encourage active learning, improve motivation, and encourage authenticity and connectedness. This report also revealed the impact of teachers’ and students’ readiness to blended e-learning, technical infrastructure, support and environments towards the process of implementation of BeLPs |
