and Instruction
The main topic of my study is the impact of implementing blended learning on students' motivation during the writing process. After several months of the school year, we see how students still need to learn to think of an idea or write it down. This is a recurring problem that we have year after year in our classrooms. It invites us to dive into the search for new perspectives and alternatives, considering the characteristics of today's children immersed in a digital world who need motivators that align with their technological interests. This work attempts to apply innovative methodologies using blended learning, through which students can create writing habits by themselves and improve their motivation and writing skills, especially in kindergarten.
Action Research Design Outline
This action research investigates the impact of implementing blended learning on students’ motivation during the writing process. The current study aims to apply innovative methodologies through blended learning, by which students can learn to write independently and improve their motivation and writing skills, particularly in kindergarten. In particular, it will assess to what extent the integration of technological resources and online activities develops writing skills in structure and content. Using a mixed methods approach, the study combines qualitative insights from observations and interviews with quantitative data from assessments.
Literature Review
In this literature review, I explore how blended learning has affected students' motivation during the writing process. I define blended learning, focusing on the Station Rotation model, which includes face-to-face and online activities. I'll review several models of Blended Learning, such as Station Rotation, Flipped Classroom, and Enriched Virtual, among others, each with the possibility of flexibility to adapt to different learning styles and needs.
