Science Teaching through Blended Learning: An Advanced Approach

Abstract Science education is integral to every nation’s development. With the advent of modern technology and a mind-shift towards an online teaching-learning process, especially in recent times due to the pandemic, a blended learning approach to teaching science at the school level is a natural progression. The students of the present upper primary level had experienced the online learning mode as direct receivers from the teachers. The upper primary level is a stage when autonomous learning starts to take place, hence it is the right time to introduce blended learning in the subject of Science. The present study explored the effectiveness of science teaching using a blended learning approach for one academic session. The effectiveness of the method was assessed by comparing the achievement scores of the control and the experimental groups. Consequentially, blended learning was found to be an effective method to deliver concepts in science to students of upper primary level.
