BLENDED LEARNING: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW IN INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS (2015 - 2018)

ABSTRACT:

Blended Learning, by combining the face-to-face and on-line learning, is an opportunity for teachers to integrate digital technologies, in the educational environment, in a thoughtful way without disrupting with strategies and practices they already use but seeking to incorporate them into these contemporary ways of learning. With the objective of discovering current research, including the educational context in which they are applied along with the subjects addressed, this study provides a systematic review of the literature on blended learning, developed from the publications from 2015 to 2018, in scientific journals of international visibility. The publications identified were organized into topics based on themes of interest and that exemplify the findings and research questions. As a result, this dissertation demonstrated an increasing scenario of international experimentation with blended learning, generally developed through a variety of diverse teacher initiatives, and where the experiments focused on instructional design and student predominates.
