| dc.description.abstract | Students study STEM courses at higher institutions of learning. One method of teaching STEM course is through blended learning. It is where learners are passively given the materials on online and traditional face to face. It is used globally and it enables students to study both online and face to face. Blended learning was introduced at Busitema University in 2019; however it was fully implemented in 2020 during the covid-19 pandemic lockdown, where all modes of teaching were shifted online following covid-19 guidelines by the ministry of health. This investigates the effects of blended learning of STEM courses at higher institutions of learning. Regarding data gathering and analysis, this adopts a quantitative methodology. Data was collected using a self- made questionnaire. This study sampled 65 students in their second and third years. The findings show that; 16(45%) lack knowledge in video conferencing systems for example zoom, Moodle and Google classroom. 21(50%) had no personal computers and 10(48%) could not open even a website link on their own. 18(66.7%) were relying on traditional face – to – face learning. The results indicate that blended learning is an effective way to improve institutional students’ performance compared to traditional face to face learning. Additionally, these findings highlight valuable recommendation for future research and practices related to effective blended learning. | |
