Description

The researchers designed a six-week (Grade 11) and eight-week (Grade 10) blended course proportionating "50 percent of face to face learning and 50 percent of online learning". The normal 80-minute weekly period was split into 30 minutes face-to-face instruction and 50 minutes lab instruction, with lesson exploration done through the Moodle LMS. Lesson plans followed the 5E instructional design model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) and targeted competencies difficult for students, such as practical singing/playing, creative works, and performing abilities.
