Blended learning is a mixture of online and face-to-face or traditional learning. The purpose of this research is to find out the positive or negative effect of blended learning. The method used is descriptive quantitative. Data was obtained from distributing questionnaires to selected respondents. The data that has been collected and calculated shows that there are more positive effects of blended learning where one of them is the achievement of better student academic scores. However, it is crucial to note a divergence in student preferences revealed in the study. Despite the positive academic outcomes, some students express a preference for face-to-face learning over online components within the blended learning model. While the academic achievements indicate a positive trend, the acknowledgment of student preferences introduces a layer of complexity. The recognition that some students favor traditional face-to-face instruction suggests that the success of blended learning may vary among individuals. the study underscores the need for further research to delve into the potential negative effects of blended learning. By addressing this aspect, educators and policymakers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics involved in implementing blended learning approaches, facilitating informed decision-making to optimize the learning experience for diverse student populations. Further research is also needed to analyze the negative effect of blended learning","PeriodicalId":511383,"journal":{"name":"Global Synthesis in Education Journal","volume":"16 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139524562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A detailed literature review was conducted examining key developments in educational technologies over the past two decades including online learning platforms, 1:1 device initiative, and adaptive learning software. Impacts were analyzed using existing evidence from multiple systematic reviews and meta-analyses on learning analytics, engagement, student achievement and teaching practices. The integration of technology in classrooms was found to enable more self-directed, personalized learning approaches leading to significant gains in core skills. However, uneven access to technology and issues around data privacy were also highlighted. Benefits were maximized when technologies supplemented rather than substituted teachers. With astute policy and teacher training, classroom technology presents transformative opportunities to improve access, equity, achievement and prepare students with vital future-oriented skills. However, care must be taken to continually address ethical issues around privacy, screen time, and digital divides.

The purpose of the research is to provide a nuanced understanding of the benefits of using YouTube as a learning tool and to determine whether the videos that students watch significantly improve their English vocabulary comprehension, retention and cognitive processing. This study uses strong descriptive qualitative research and carefully focuses on first-year high school students. The primary method of data collection involves conducting in-depth interviews that provide a deep and comprehensible study of students experiences and insights into the transformative impact of YouTube videos on their journey to English language proficiency. The research findings undoubtedly emphasize the effective power of YouTube videos as an important educational tool. Students who regularly use YouTube to improve their English skills show not only remarkable but also transformational differences from those who occasionally watch such videos. Basically, students who actively participate in the consumption of YouTube videos show a significant expansion of their vocabulary, which proves the positive and tangible impact of this multimedia platform on language learning. The study carefully examines the benefits of seamlessly integrating YouTube into the language learning curriculum. Beyond the limitations of traditional pedagogical methods, YouTube and its inherently engaging audiovisual nature appeals to students and attention and at the same time different learning styles are taken into account, which promotes a dynamic and engaging language learning experience. Through carefully crafted open-ended questions, participants share their nuanced observations, preferences, and challenges they encounter using YouTube videos for language learning. Characterized by its richness and complexity, this qualitative data collection strategy provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics between students and engagement with YouTube. The research findings highlight the central role of YouTube in improving high school students' English language skills. Active integration of YouTube with students and study routines not only improve comprehension but also contribute to better retention of vocabulary. The sensory stimuli characteristic of YouTube videos stimulate cognitive processes, making it easier to enter and remember English words. In addition, the research findings emphasize the critical importance of developing a technologically enriched learning environment. Integrating YouTube into educational software not only acts as a catalyst for language acquisition, but also promotes digital literacy and adaptability, skills that are critical in today's educational environment.

By incorporating music into their learning practices, students can improve their listening comprehension and overall speaking abilities. The present study aims to investigate the impact of listening to music on English language acquisition among English literature students as foreign language learners. Employing quantitative research methods, the researchers utilized a questionnaire as the data collection instrument, gathering responses from 6 English literature students at University of Ahmad Dahlan. The conclusion of the analysis is supported by the significant regression test result of 0.596, indicating an R-squared value that falls within the range of significant numbers. Consequently, the frequency of listening to music directly correlates with its effectiveness in influencing English language proficiency. It is important to acknowledge that other factors also contribute to English learning outcomes, including individual factors, social factors and instructional factors.","PeriodicalId":511383,"journal":{"name":"Global Synthesis in Education Journal","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139524015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conduct a comprehensive analysis of this topic through literature reviews and support it with social judgment theory, which explores the \"ego involvement\" in an individual's interactions with others. This overarching view guides our examination of a common yet potentially significant psychological phenomenon among students. Sociopsychology, a branch of communication theory grounded in psychological (behavioral) evaluation, provides insight into the psychological orientation of information assessment.
