摘要
Student engagement in learning is a concern for teachers in the implementation of blended learning,which reflects the effectiveness of the pedagogical measures taken by teachers.Blended learning encompasses traditional blended,blended online,and blended synchronous,which combine synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning activities.This paper adopts an inductive approach to investigate and analyse students‘engagement in learning from three dimensions:behavioural,affective and cognitive,specifically focusing on three meta-categories,namely,course structure and arrangement,choice of teaching and learning activities,and teacher’s role in relation to the course,to investigate the teaching of teachers of different disciplines in three vocational colleges and to analyse the pedagogical strategies that the teachers use in order to improve students’engagement in blended learning.The findings suggest that communicating about the course at the beginning of the semester,clarifying course requirements,and building a trusting relationship with students play a key role in increasing student engagement in blended learning,and that the use of digital tools is an important means of promoting students’behavioural and emotional active participation in learning.
