Blended learning viability in engaging post-graduate students into research methodology courses

Abstract EN

During the outbreak of the 21st century, the integration of blended learning has become an issue of great controversy.

this latter is seemingly creating new ventures and modes in teaching, especially after the newly devised educational reforms.

to assess the viability of blended learning on postgraduate learners, this small-scale study has been carried out applying qualitative data collection procedures, namely interviews.

the aim of this research project is to demonstrate a new research perspective for the investigation of hybrid learning.

this paper addresses the following research query : “what are post-graduate students’ perceptions and attitudes towards the use of internet to study research methodology ?” the results obtained through this study confirm the usefulness of blended learning though this latter could be somehow distractive, and, therefore, might affect negatively learners’ academic achievement.
