The Effect of Blended Learning Model for Elementary School Environmental Education

With the innovation and application of information technology, blended learning has become a mainstream of learning in the future which combines traditional face-to-face classroom learning and Web-based learning through the Internet. The present study aims at investigating how blended learning has influenced six graders in an elementary school in Taiwan with different ability levels in their achievements of environmental education. The outcomes of the experiment are: 1) no conspicuous interaction between teaching approaches and learning capability is found in the post-test on environment education; 2) subjects who accept blending learning demonstrate better achievements than the other group; 3) students with higher learning capability have higher achievements than the lower ones; 4) with different teaching approaches, students with lower learning capabilities show a remarkable difference in the post-test on environment education.
