Using Blended Learning in Teacher Training Programs

Blended learning combines face-to-face instruction with computer-mediated instruction. Teacher education has increasingly favoured blended learning. Providing pre-service teachers with opportunities to work both online and in-person is an effective way to give this learning approach. This study examined preservice teachers' beliefs but did not examine what they actually accomplished in blended learning environments. The results revealed that pre-service teachers preferred blended learning. Among pre-service teachers online studies are considered a valuable tool while face-to-face instruction is regarded as the primary medium with online studies serving as a complement.
