Exploring the Impact of Blended-Learning using Moddle on Students’ Academic Achievement and Mathematical Attitudes

Abstract

In recent years, the advancement of science and technology has spawned numerous multimedia learning platforms that can be accessed for free, thereby assisting students in developing their ability to comprehend science independently. Moodle is one of the platforms used by educators to deploy the blended-learning strategy. This study attempted to determine if a blended-learning strategy utilizing Moodle as a learning platform can have a positive impact on students’ mathematical ability and attitudes. The study population included 26 boys and 59 girls with an average age of 14 years, while the research sample consisted of 10 boys and 17 girls selected using the cluster random sampling method. This study used a mixed-methods design. Following the implementation of a blended-learning strategy using the Moodle platform, the academic success of the students in mathematics was categorized as high. The application of Moodle in the classroom has a beneficial impact on students’ mathematics academic achievement, as measured by an N-Gain score in the high range (0.6591). The use of Moodle as a learning medium can increase the interest and positive attitudes of students. Additionally, Moodle utilization also promotes active learning and interaction between students and the teacher in a learning environment.
