Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to understand and to explore the implementation of blended learning among student-teachers in Sultan Idris Education University (UPSI). UPSI has implemented blended learning via MyGuru and IMS platforms. Under the platforms, student teachers are able to perform E-Portfolio, E-Assessment, E-Quiz, E-PBL and etc. Besides, the paper also focuses on how far MyGuru and IMS in UPSI are complying with the E-Learning Framework as E-Learning Tools and promote blended learning among adult learners especially student teachers. A case study approach drawing on a phenomenological perspective was carried out in this research. The research has conducted in-depth interviews with students and lecturers to understand and explore their individual perception on the implementation of blended learning in teaching and learning among student teachers.
