Blended learning as an approach to the development of educational and methodological support of academic discipline

Abstract

A research study on the blended learning approach to the development of teaching aids for providing basic solutions for nuclear power plant construction - team project, has been conducted. Various tools such as smart tables and smart boards known to yield productive results by renowned and well-established tertiary institutions were employed in this research study. It is challenging to guarantee a perfect teacher-student knowledge transfer, which is expected in the traditional classroom approach. With the many case study assessments researched on, it has been realized that the traditional faceto-face lessons merged with online development and use of electronic booklets, organization of YouTube videos, presentation of digital content, adaptation of 3D animations, and the use of other educational tools are productive-guaranteed models of ensuring the arousing of student interest and encouraging innovative ways in the way students adapt knowledge as showed in table 1. This establishes a goal to develop an enthusiastic friendly and innovative mechanism to satisfy the expected outcome with key performance indicators. Such alternative methods provide students with options to align themselves with the mentality of completing the tasks required for final certification. Blended learning integration into the course work models is therefore a must have tool to enhance departmental development. This paper consist of five (5) pages and one (1) table.
