Abstract

The application of blended learning in education has seen a steady rise over the years, especially among undergraduate and postgraduate students. Consequently, educators are in a position where they are inclined to select the most appropriate approaches in teaching and learning in order to improve learning among students and to fulfil profession requirements. This paper aims to investigate the role of blended learning technologies in enhancing student engagement in theory dominant subjects. The data attained from respondents were analysed qualitatively. A class of 38 students were observed and trained using blended learning technologies. The results revealed that innovative teaching strategies, gamification, simplified teaching, sense of belonging and equal opportunity does have a significant impact in enhancing student engagement in theory dominant subjects. The results of this study will be valuable and useful in the development of various innovative teaching techniques which are able to attract students throughout the learning process, especially in theory dominant subjects.
