Blended Learning in Middle School Math: Strategies and Challenges
Abstract
This research paper presents an in-depth analysis of Blended Learning (BL) as a pedagogical approach within middle school mathematics education, focusing on its capacity to significantly improve students academic performance and critical thinking abilities. By merging
traditional classroom engagement with online interactive modules, BL facilitates a more dynamic and personalized learning experience. The
study critically evaluates the current landscape of BL implementation, pinpointing challenges such as the need for customized curricula, the
influence of digital infrastructure, and the imperative for an integrated evaluation system that encompasses both teacher-led and self-assessment strategies. The findings underscore the pivotal role of BL in educational innovation, proposing a strategic framework for institutional
support and the enhancement of digital resources to ensure the approachs efficacy. This paper contributes valuable insights for the educational
community, offering a comprehensive set of recommendations for the successful integration of BL in middle school mathematics, thereby fostering a more inclusive and effective learning environment.
