Transitioning from Traditional Learning to Blended Learning at Some Public Universities in Vietnam after the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has addressed critical impacts leading to the nationwide social distancing measures in Vietnam. School closures were mandated by the Government in an attempt to control the transmission of the virus. Online teaching and learning was then temporarily adopted to ensure students’ continuous learning. However, the effectiveness of this method was far from expectation. Students showed their reluctance to engage in the virtual learning environment. In the meantime, they shared their negative feedback on the traditional teaching and learning method. As a result, lecturers desired to have a more effective approach conducted after the pandemic. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the feasibility of blended learning implementation at some public universities in Vietnam. The results revealed positive feedback from both students and teachers.
