Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to verify whether blended learning is worth alternating with traditional face-to-face learning for some dental technology students in practice teaching. Methods: A total of 68 students were included in this study. They were divided into two groups to compare blended learning and traditional face-to-face learning. The experiment had been carried out over 15 weeks. The following tests were performed: test of instructional quality, test of learning satisfaction, test of perceived usefulness, and test of learning flow. The IBM SPSS software was used to analyze the data. Results: The learning satisfaction and the perceived useful of blended learning by students appeared to be higher than that of traditional face-to-face learning. However, there was no significant difference in the variables of traditional face-to-face learning and those of blended learning (p<0.05). Conclusion: Blended learning is an alternative to traditional face-to-face learning for some dental technology students in practice teaching.
