Impact of Blended Learning Approach on Students’
Achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations
Patrick Friday Obot
Department of Curriculum and Instruction (Mathematics), University of Houston, USA
ABSTRACT
This paper examined the effect of blended learning (BL) on students’
achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations in Ogun State,
Southwest Nigeria. Blended learning is a learning strategy that
supplements traditional face-to-face instruction congruent to the
traditional lecture method (TLM) with computer-based learning, to
which students subscribe. A control group and a quasi-experimental
design were adopted for this study. Purposive sampling techniques
were applied to select a sample of 320 students drawn from two
secondary schools in which intact classes were used. The Quadratic
and Simultaneous Equations Achievement Test (QSEAT) was
developed with a reliability coefficient value of 0.82, and used as the
research instrument. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used
to test the hypotheses. All the hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 level
of significance. Results showed that there was a statistically
significant main effect of treatment on students’ achievement in
Quadratic and Simultaneous equations. There was a statistically
significant effect of blended learning (BL) on students’ achievement
in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations. There was a statistically
significant interaction effect of treatment control and experimental
BL on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous
equations. The findings of the study revealed that the student’s
achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations was enhanced
more when BL strategies were used than when TLM was used. Based
on the findings of this study, it was therefore recommended that
efforts be made to integrate the philosophy of BL into the preservice
teachers’ curriculum at the teacher preparation institutions in Nigeria.

1. INTRODUCTION
Blended Learning Instructional strategy can be
defined as an instructional strategy that combines
online digital media with conventional teaching
methods in class room delivery. The term blended
learning instructional strategy is used interchangeably
in research literature as “personalized learning”,
“differentiated instruction”, “hybrid learning”,
“technology-mediated instruction”,” web-enhanced
instruction” and “mixed-mode instruction”. The
concepts behind blended learning were first
developed in the 1960s, the formal terminology to
describe it did not take its current form until the late
1990s. Then in 2006, the term became more concrete
with the publication of the first Handbook of Blended
Learning by Bonk and Graham.
Blended learning combines multiple delivery media
that are designed to complement each other and
promote learning and application-learner behavior.
Bonk & Graham (2006) as cited in Niu, Ding, and Liu
(2020) defined Blended learning as learning systems
that combine face-to-face instruction with computer
mediated instruction. Currently, the use of the term
blended learning mostly involves combining Internet
and digital media with established classroom forms
that require the physical co-presence of teacher and
students (Liu and Chao, 2017). Blended learning, also
called hybrid learning is simply defined as a
combination of e-learning and the traditional face-to-
face (f2f) learning or instructor-led training (ILT),
and when necessary coaching, assignments and
projects provided as a support and reinforcement tool
(Chen, Liu and Lin, 2018). According to Garrison and
Vaughan (2008), Blended learning is defined as the
thoughtful fusion of face-to-face and online learning

experiences. Therefore, the basic principle is that
face-to-face oral communication and online written
communication are optimally integrated such that the
strengths of each are blended into a unique learning
experience congruent with the context and intended
educational purpose.
One vital component in teacher-student interaction is
instructional strategy and that mathematics teachers
feel more comfortable in using the traditional method
in teaching mathematics simply because it is more
amenable to teaching large class sizes (Dikli and
Kocoglu, 2018). Recent reforms proposed by
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
(NCTM) standard emphasized the use of technology
in teaching and learning of mathematics because
technology is changing the world and daily life, yet
the teaching of mathematics remained relatively
unchanged and still relied on traditional lecture
method (TLM) (Abakpa & Iji, 2011). The objective
of mathematics education in the global scene is to
meet the critical needs of society. Thus, there is a
need for teaching and learning strategies that
accommodate new technology (Vasileva-Stojanovska,
2015) within the context of active learning. Two of
such learning strategies are Problem Based Learning
(PBL) and Blended Learning (BL). Therefore, the
research paper focused on the effect of Blended
Learning on students’ achievement in Mathematics.
Teachers who have used a blended learning method in
the classroom have seen an increase in student
achievement. Classrooms that have incorporated a
flipped model in a blended learning environment have
seen an increase in student achievement. The
educational system has also benefited from the
advantages brought by the Internet. The Internet,
which offers learners access to information and the
opportunity of written, audio and video
communication, has entered into a very rapid
development process all over the world. This has
caused Internet-based education to expand rapidly.
One way to use technology in a blended learning
model is the flipped classroom approach. The flipped
classroom takes the lecture part of the instruction and
places it in videos or podcasts for students to watch at
night as their homework (Martyn, 2003). Class time is
then used for extra guidance and work time on the
assignments. There are many advantages to this
model of learning; however, Brunsell and Horejsi
(2016) noted that “showing video lectures alone is not
flipping your classroom - you must add active
learning experiences”. One such advantage to the
flipped classroom is time. Watching the videos at
night frees up valuable classroom time for teachers to
offer extra guidance to those students who are
struggling and provide more challenging activities for
those who find it easy, as well as providing great
opportunities for one-on-one mentoring or
collaborating (Morgan, 2014; Roehl, Reddy, &
Shannon, 2013).
In the meantime, several studies focused on the
perceptions and experiences of blended learning
among students and teachers. ElSayary
(2021) measured seventh-grade students' perceptions
of their learning experience in the mobile blended
learning environment. Davies (2003) focused on the
technology-supported Flipped Classroom Approach
(FCA) in mathematics education and how this
teaching and learning can be implemented in
secondary schools.
Blended learning is a student-centered learning
method (Fatade, 2012) that combines traditional face-
to-face classrooms (synchronous learning activities)
with e-learning activities (asynchronous learning
activities) (Thorne, 2003). Young (2002) emphasized
the role of the e-learning factor, according to Willet
(2002). According to Collis (2013) and Lazar et al.
(2020), the ratio between face-to-face and online
learning in blended learning varies, but the online
learning factor should be between 33% and 50%, and
even as high as 80% (Attard & Holmes, 2020).
According to Attard & Holmes (2020), blended
learning results from digital technology and digital
educational tools. Online tools such as apps, books,
and computers can be used as lesson plans, lectures,
textbooks, assignments, software, quizzes, tests,
resources, audio and video, digital, and social
networking platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, and
Facebook (ElSayary, 2021). Meanwhile, ElSayary
(2011) used the concept of "digital learning tool" to
refer to digital sources used in blended learning.
Motivation and interest are key factors that drive the
teaching-learning process. In blended learning, e-
learning tools are used in lessons, training sessions
(Adiguzel et al., 2020), presentations, progress
learning, and online discussion groups (Beers, 2015).
Several findings report a significant increase of
students' motivation and achievement as a result of
the blended learning model (Islam et al., 2018;
Kholifah et al., 2020; Wong et. al., 2020). Osman &
Hamzah (2020) also investigated the impacts of
implementing blended learning on students’ interest
and motivation, the findings reveal a higher level of
interest and motivation by the students when
participating in blended learning classes. This is an
indication that the implementation of blended
learning has its benefits which include increased
student interest, motivation, and academic
achievement. Educators should build on these

benefits by finding ways to further improve blended
learning. Enhancing this approach could promote
more engaged and effective learning.
2. Statement of the Problem
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact
of a blended learning approach on students'
achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous
Equations. While traditional lecture-based instruction
has been the predominant method used in teaching
these mathematical concepts, there is a need to
explore alternative approaches that can potentially
enhance students' learning outcomes. Blended
learning, characterized by the integration of face-to-
face instruction and technology-based components,
offers a promising avenue for improving students'
understanding and performance in Mathematics.
However, there is a gap in the existing literature
regarding the specific impact of blended learning on
students' achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous
Equations.
By investigating these questions, this study aims to
contribute to the existing knowledge on the impact of
blended learning in Mathematics education,
specifically in the context of Quadratic and
Simultaneous Equations. The findings of this research
will provide valuable insights into the potential
benefits and implications of adopting a blended
learning approach to enhance students' achievement
in these mathematical topics.
3. Purpose of the Study
The study focused on the contribution and impact of
the blended learning model to the teaching and
learning of Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations
and student’s achievement in Quadratic and
Simultaneous Equations at Senior Secondary School.
4. Research Questions
1. What is the contribution of the Blended Learning
Model (BLM) on students’ achievement in
Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations?
2. What is the impact of BLM on students’
motivation towards learning and teaching
Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations?
5. Research Hypotheses
H01: There is no significant contribution of Blended
Learning Model (BLM) and Students’ achievement in
Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations at Senior
Secondary School.
H02: There is no significant impact of Blended
Learning Model and Students’ motivation towards
learning and teaching of Quadratic and Simultaneous
Equations at Senior Secondary School.
6. Review of Related Literature
According to Lazar et al. (2020), blended learning
results from digital technology and digital educational
tools. Online tools such as apps, books, and
computers can be used as lesson plans, lectures,
textbooks, assignments, software, quizzes, tests,
resources, audio and video, digital, and social
networking platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, and
Facebook (Willett, 2012). Meanwhile, Lazar et al.
(2020) used the concept of "digital learning tool" to
refer to digital sources used in blended learning.
Blended learning is used to describe learning that
mixes various event-based activities: self-paced
learning, live e-learning and face-to-face classrooms.
Self-paced learning is what the learner does by
executing the e-learning process. Self-paced activities
can be taken at the learner’s leisure irrespective of
time and place. The important thing these days is not
only to access knowledge but timely access of
relevant and interesting knowledge. The value of self-
paced learning is not only that it can reach everyone
at any time and anywhere, but that it can teach the
learner appropriately, providing the right skills at the
right time. Live e-learning takes place in a virtual
classroom at a scheduled time at which the learner
undertakes to attend. Thus, enable learners to
collaborate with one another, share ideas, and ask
questions in real time.
The blended learning environment is also favorable
for organizing active teaching approaches such as
STEM education (ElSayary, 2021; Vasileva-
Stojanovska, 2015; Fatade, 2012), problem-based
teaching, project teaching (Yunus et al., 2021) and
collaborative teaching (Kandakatla et al., 2020). In
addition, many specialized models with
characteristics suitable for blended learning in
mathematics education have been studied. Blended
learning is a teaching approach that positively
impacts students' learning and teachers' instruction.
Through individual interaction with students, teachers
can see the learning needs of students, thereby
allowing them to adjust or design lesson plans to suit
students' learning progress.
6.1. Levels of Blended Learning

place when a learning activity contains both face-
to-face and online or computer mediated
elements.
B. Course Level: At the course level it engages
face-to-face and online activities that are used as
part of a course
C. Program Level: At the program level of BL,
there are certain face-to-face courses that are

required for a program and the rest can be taken at
a distance or online
D. Institutional Level: At the Institutional level
Blended learning enables students to have face-to-
face classes at the beginning and at the end of the
courses with online activities in between
6.1.1. Flipped Classroom Approach
One way to use technology in a blended learning
model is the flipped classroom approach. The flipped
classroom takes the lecture part of the instruction and
places it in videos or podcasts for students to watch at
night as their homework (Ma and Wang, 2019). Class
time is then used for extra guidance and work time on
the assignments. There are many advantages to this
model of learning; however, Huang, C. Y., & Liaw
(2018) noted that “showing video lectures alone is not
flipping your classroom - you must add active
learning experiences” (p. 8). One such advantage to
the flipped classroom is time. Watching the videos at
night frees up valuable classroom time for teachers to
offer extra guidance to those students who are
struggling and provide more challenging activities for
those who find it easy, as well as providing great
opportunities for one-on-one mentoring or
collaborating (Chen et al, 2018).
7. Methodology
The research designs adopted for this study were
control and quasi-experimental group design.
Students were divided into control and experimental
groups. The experimental group was with a blended
learning environment while the control group was a
traditional learning environment. The population for
the study comprised all public Senior Secondary
School two students in Ogun State, South West
Nigeria. The purposive sampling technique was
adopted with the total of three hundred and twenty
(320) Senior Secondary Two Mathematics students
were involved. Quadratic and Simultaneous
Equations Achievement Test (QSEAT) was used as
an instrument, the reliability coefficient value for the
essay QSEAT was 0.82. The data collected was
analysed using an inferential statistical test of analysis
of covariance (ANCOVA). An alpha level of 0.05
was used for all statistical tests.

Table 1 shows that the experimental group has a mean pre-test achievement score of 13.73 and a mean of post-
test achievement score of 22.57 while the control group has a mean pre-test achievement score of 10.08 with a
mean of post-test achievement score of 20.60. This indicates that the experimental group who used Blended
Learning (BL) to teach recorded higher achievement scores than the control group that was exposed to
Traditional Learning (TL) method.

The table 2 presented above is the ANCOVA of students’ achievement scores that revealed the effect of Blended
Learning on students Achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations at 0.05 significance level. The F-
stat. value of 2.26 for treatment is significant at 0.03 which is less than 0.05 alpha levels and thus the null
hypothesis is rejected and accepts the alternative hypothesis. We therefore conclude that there is a significant
effect of Blended Learning on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations.
This indicates that there is a significant difference in the mean achievement scores of students who were taught
with Blended Learning as instructional guide and those who were exposed to traditional method of teaching.
Hypothesis Two (H0): There is no significant impact of Blended Learning and Students’ motivation towards
learning and teaching of QSEAT at Senior Secondary School.
Hypothesis Two (H1): There is significant impact of Blended Learning and Students’ motivation towards
learning and teaching of Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations at Senior Secondary School

The BL Experimental Group and Control group have been compared by means Analysis of Covariance
(ANCOVA) test, and the data acquired are demonstrated in the table above. The finding shows that there was a
statistically significant difference between Experimental and Control Group and the impact of students’
achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations.
The effect of a blended learning environment on the students’ academic performance has been analyzed. It was
discovered that the academic success of the students who have studied in a blended learning environment in
which online learning environment and face to face learning environment are used together increases. The fact
that the students can get access to information in any place without being limited by boundaries or spaces with a
blended learning environment, and the fact that a blended learning environment provides exchange of
information and ideas in the cyber world are the factors causing the increase of their achievement.
The result of this study asserted that a blended learning environment increases students’ academic achievement
and it was supported by Dikli, S., & Kocoglu (2018); Leung (2020); and Keramati et al (2019) in the studies
conducted on blended learning. They are the courses in which the online courses are used in the best way. Not
only does blended learning provide an environment in which there is simultaneous feedback and effective usage
of technology but also it provides the learners in an online learning environment to be in interaction.
The results obtained from the statistical analysis indicated a significant difference in achievement scores between
the experimental and control groups, favoring the blended learning approach. The findings suggest that the
integration of technology and online resources enhanced students' understanding of quadratic and simultaneous
equations, as well as their problem-solving skills. Importantly, this study highlights the potential of blended
learning to promote active student engagement and improve academic outcomes in mathematics education.
9. Conclusions
This study has shown the positive impact of the BL in
encouraging students’ achievement in Quadratic and
Simultaneous equations (QSEAT). The test results
indicated that students who received instruction
through blended learning strategies outperformed
those who received traditional lecture-based
instruction. It is therefore recommended that this
approach be put to use in the teaching and learning of
Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. Not only
blended learning affords an environment in which
there is simultaneous feedback and effective usage of
technology but also it provides the learners in an
online learning environment to be in interaction. This
benefit of blended learning is proof that it will gain an

effective and significant place in the modern
education system.
Blended learning provided an interactive and dynamic
learning environment that engaged students in a
variety of instructional methods, including computer-
based learning activities. This approach facilitated
independent thinking, problem-solving skills, and
critical analysis, all of which are essential for success
in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. The
integration of technology also allowed students to
receive immediate feedback and access to additional
learning resources, further enhancing their
understanding of the subject matter. The findings of
this study suggest that the incorporation of blended
learning into Mathematics education can yield
significant improvements in students' achievement.
This pedagogical approach not only enhances
students' understanding of Quadratic and
Simultaneous Equations but also promotes their
overall mathematical reasoning and problem-solving
abilities.
Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of
considering alternative instructional strategies, such
as blended learning, to cater to the diverse learning
needs and preferences of students. By embracing the
benefits of technology in education, educators can
create a more inclusive and effective learning
environment that fosters students' success in
Mathematics. Based on these findings, it is
recommended that educational institutions and
policymakers give due attention to the integration of
blended learning approaches into the curriculum for
Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. Additionally,
further research should be conducted to explore the
long-term effects of blended learning on students'
mathematical achievement and to identify best
practices for its implementation. In conclusion, the
positive impact of blended learning on students'
achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous
Equations highlights its potential to revolutionize
Mathematics education and empower students to
excel in this important subject area.

Impact of Blended Learning Approach on Students’ Achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations

  • 1. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) Volume 7 Issue 6, November-December 2023 Available Online: www.ijtsrd.com e-ISSN: 2456 – 6470 @ IJTSRD | Unique Paper ID – IJTSRD61229 | Volume – 7 | Issue – 6 | Nov-Dec 2023 Page 552 Impact of Blended Learning Approach on Students’ Achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations Patrick Friday Obot Department of Curriculum and Instruction (Mathematics), University of Houston, USA ABSTRACT This paper examined the effect of blended learning (BL) on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations in Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria. Blended learning is a learning strategy that supplements traditional face-to-face instruction congruent to the traditional lecture method (TLM) with computer-based learning, to which students subscribe. A control group and a quasi-experimental design were adopted for this study. Purposive sampling techniques were applied to select a sample of 320 students drawn from two secondary schools in which intact classes were used. The Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations Achievement Test (QSEAT) was developed with a reliability coefficient value of 0.82, and used as the research instrument. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. All the hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that there was a statistically significant main effect of treatment on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations. There was a statistically significant effect of blended learning (BL) on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations. There was a statistically significant interaction effect of treatment control and experimental BL on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations. The findings of the study revealed that the student’s achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations was enhanced more when BL strategies were used than when TLM was used. Based on the findings of this study, it was therefore recommended that efforts be made to integrate the philosophy of BL into the preservice teachers’ curriculum at the teacher preparation institutions in Nigeria.

INTRODUCTION Blended Learning Instructional strategy can be defined as an instructional strategy that combines online digital media with conventional teaching methods in class room delivery. The term blended learning instructional strategy is used interchangeably in research literature as “personalized learning”, “differentiated instruction”, “hybrid learning”, “technology-mediated instruction”,” web-enhanced instruction” and “mixed-mode instruction”. The concepts behind blended learning were first developed in the 1960s, the formal terminology to describe it did not take its current form until the late 1990s. Then in 2006, the term became more concrete with the publication of the first Handbook of Blended Learning by Bonk and Graham. Blended learning combines multiple delivery media that are designed to complement each other and promote learning and application-learner behavior. Bonk & Graham (2006) as cited in Niu, Ding, and Liu (2020) defined Blended learning as learning systems that combine face-to-face instruction with computer mediated instruction. Currently, the use of the term blended learning mostly involves combining Internet and digital media with established classroom forms that require the physical co-presence of teacher and students (Liu and Chao, 2017). Blended learning, also called hybrid learning is simply defined as a combination of e-learning and the traditional face-to- face (f2f) learning or instructor-led training (ILT), and when necessary coaching, assignments and projects provided as a support and reinforcement tool (Chen, Liu and Lin, 2018). According to Garrison and Vaughan (2008), Blended learning is defined as the thoughtful fusion of face-to-face and online learning IJTSRD61229

Therefore, the basic principle is that face-to-face oral communication and online written communication are optimally integrated such that the strengths of each are blended into a unique learning experience congruent with the context and intended educational purpose. One vital component in teacher-student interaction is instructional strategy and that mathematics teachers feel more comfortable in using the traditional method in teaching mathematics simply because it is more amenable to teaching large class sizes (Dikli and Kocoglu, 2018). Recent reforms proposed by National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standard emphasized the use of technology in teaching and learning of mathematics because technology is changing the world and daily life, yet the teaching of mathematics remained relatively unchanged and still relied on traditional lecture method (TLM) (Abakpa & Iji, 2011). The objective of mathematics education in the global scene is to meet the critical needs of society. Thus, there is a need for teaching and learning strategies that accommodate new technology (Vasileva-Stojanovska, 2015) within the context of active learning. Two of such learning strategies are Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Blended Learning (BL). Therefore, the research paper focused on the effect of Blended Learning on students’ achievement in Mathematics. Teachers who have used a blended learning method in the classroom have seen an increase in student achievement. Classrooms that have incorporated a flipped model in a blended learning environment have seen an increase in student achievement. The educational system has also benefited from the advantages brought by the Internet. The Internet, which offers learners access to information and the opportunity of written, audio and video communication, has entered into a very rapid development process all over the world. This has caused Internet-based education to expand rapidly. One way to use technology in a blended learning model is the flipped classroom approach. The flipped classroom takes the lecture part of the instruction and places it in videos or podcasts for students to watch at night as their homework (Martyn, 2003). Class time is then used for extra guidance and work time on the assignments. There are many advantages to this model of learning; however, Brunsell and Horejsi (2016) noted that “showing video lectures alone is not flipping your classroom - you must add active learning experiences”. One such advantage to the flipped classroom is time. Watching the videos at night frees up valuable classroom time for teachers to offer extra guidance to those students who are struggling and provide more challenging activities for those who find it easy, as well as providing great opportunities for one-on-one mentoring or collaborating (Morgan, 2014; Roehl, Reddy, & Shannon, 2013). In the meantime, several studies focused on the perceptions and experiences of blended learning among students and teachers. ElSayary (2021) measured seventh-grade students' perceptions of their learning experience in the mobile blended learning environment. Davies (2003) focused on the technology-supported Flipped Classroom Approach (FCA) in mathematics education and how this teaching and learning can be implemented in secondary schools. Blended learning is a student-centered learning method (Fatade, 2012) that combines traditional face- to-face classrooms (synchronous learning activities) with e-learning activities (asynchronous learning activities) (Thorne, 2003). Young (2002) emphasized the role of the e-learning factor, according to Willet (2002). According to Collis (2013) and Lazar et al. (2020), the ratio between face-to-face and online learning in blended learning varies, but the online learning factor should be between 33% and 50%, and even as high as 80% (Attard & Holmes, 2020). According to Attard & Holmes (2020), blended learning results from digital technology and digital educational tools. Online tools such as apps, books, and computers can be used as lesson plans, lectures, textbooks, assignments, software, quizzes, tests, resources, audio and video, digital, and social networking platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook (ElSayary, 2021). Meanwhile, ElSayary (2011) used the concept of "digital learning tool" to refer to digital sources used in blended learning. Motivation and interest are key factors that drive the teaching-learning process. In blended learning, e- learning tools are used in lessons, training sessions (Adiguzel et al., 2020), presentations, progress learning, and online discussion groups (Beers, 2015). Several findings report a significant increase of students' motivation and achievement as a result of the blended learning model (Islam et al., 2018; Kholifah et al., 2020; Wong et. al., 2020). Osman & Hamzah (2020) also investigated the impacts of implementing blended learning on students’ interest and motivation, the findings reveal a higher level of interest and motivation by the students when participating in blended learning classes. This is an indication that the implementation of blended learning has its benefits which include increased student interest, motivation, and academic achievement. Educators should build on these

Enhancing this approach could promote more engaged and effective learning. 2. Statement of the Problem The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of a blended learning approach on students' achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. While traditional lecture-based instruction has been the predominant method used in teaching these mathematical concepts, there is a need to explore alternative approaches that can potentially enhance students' learning outcomes. Blended learning, characterized by the integration of face-to- face instruction and technology-based components, offers a promising avenue for improving students' understanding and performance in Mathematics. However, there is a gap in the existing literature regarding the specific impact of blended learning on students' achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. By investigating these questions, this study aims to contribute to the existing knowledge on the impact of blended learning in Mathematics education, specifically in the context of Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights into the potential benefits and implications of adopting a blended learning approach to enhance students' achievement in these mathematical topics. 3. Purpose of the Study The study focused on the contribution and impact of the blended learning model to the teaching and learning of Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations and student’s achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations at Senior Secondary School. 4. Research Questions 1. What is the contribution of the Blended Learning Model (BLM) on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations? 2. What is the impact of BLM on students’ motivation towards learning and teaching Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations? 5. Research Hypotheses H01: There is no significant contribution of Blended Learning Model (BLM) and Students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations at Senior Secondary School. H02: There is no significant impact of Blended Learning Model and Students’ motivation towards learning and teaching of Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations at Senior Secondary School. 6. Review of Related Literature According to Lazar et al. (2020), blended learning results from digital technology and digital educational tools. Online tools such as apps, books, and computers can be used as lesson plans, lectures, textbooks, assignments, software, quizzes, tests, resources, audio and video, digital, and social networking platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook (Willett, 2012). Meanwhile, Lazar et al. (2020) used the concept of "digital learning tool" to refer to digital sources used in blended learning. Blended learning is used to describe learning that mixes various event-based activities: self-paced learning, live e-learning and face-to-face classrooms. Self-paced learning is what the learner does by executing the e-learning process. Self-paced activities can be taken at the learner’s leisure irrespective of time and place. The important thing these days is not only to access knowledge but timely access of relevant and interesting knowledge. The value of self- paced learning is not only that it can reach everyone at any time and anywhere, but that it can teach the learner appropriately, providing the right skills at the right time. Live e-learning takes place in a virtual classroom at a scheduled time at which the learner undertakes to attend. Thus, enable learners to collaborate with one another, share ideas, and ask questions in real time. The blended learning environment is also favorable for organizing active teaching approaches such as STEM education (ElSayary, 2021; Vasileva- Stojanovska, 2015; Fatade, 2012), problem-based teaching, project teaching (Yunus et al., 2021) and collaborative teaching (Kandakatla et al., 2020). In addition, many specialized models with characteristics suitable for blended learning in mathematics education have been studied. Blended learning is a teaching approach that positively impacts students' learning and teachers' instruction. Through individual interaction with students, teachers can see the learning needs of students, thereby allowing them to adjust or design lesson plans to suit students' learning progress. 6.1. Levels of Blended Learning A. Activity Level: At the activity level of BL takes place when a learning activity contains both face- to-face and online or computer mediated elements. B.

Institutional Level: At the Institutional level Blended learning enables students to have face-to- face classes at the beginning and at the end of the courses with online activities in between 6.1.1. Flipped Classroom Approach One way to use technology in a blended learning model is the flipped classroom approach. The flipped classroom takes the lecture part of the instruction and places it in videos or podcasts for students to watch at night as their homework (Ma and Wang, 2019). Class time is then used for extra guidance and work time on the assignments. There are many advantages to this model of learning; however, Huang, C. Y., & Liaw (2018) noted that “showing video lectures alone is not flipping your classroom - you must add active learning experiences” (p. 8). One such advantage to the flipped classroom is time. Watching the videos at night frees up valuable classroom time for teachers to offer extra guidance to those students who are struggling and provide more challenging activities for those who find it easy, as well as providing great opportunities for one-on-one mentoring or collaborating (Chen et al, 2018). 7. Methodology The research designs adopted for this study were control and quasi-experimental group design. Students were divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group was with a blended learning environment while the control group was a traditional learning environment. The population for the study comprised all public Senior Secondary School two students in Ogun State, South West Nigeria. The purposive sampling technique was adopted with the total of three hundred and twenty (320) Senior Secondary Two Mathematics students were involved. Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations Achievement Test (QSEAT) was used as an instrument, the reliability coefficient value for the essay QSEAT was 0.82. The data collected was analysed using an inferential statistical test of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). An alpha level of 0.05 was used for all statistical tests. 8. Results and Discussion Table 1. Mean and Standard Deviation of Pre-test and Post-Test Achievement score in Experimental and Control Group Group Experimental Control Pre-Test Post-Test Pre-Test Post-Test Scores Scores Scores Score Mean 13.73 22.57 10.08 20.60 Std. Deviation 3.48 2.94 3.51 3.92 N 160 160 Table 1 shows that the experimental group has a mean pre-test achievement score of 13.73 and a mean of post- test achievement score of 22.57 while the control group has a mean pre-test achievement score of 10.08 with a mean of post-test achievement score of 20.60. This indicates that the experimental group who used Blended Learning (BL) to teach recorded higher achievement scores than the control group that was exposed to Traditional Learning (TL) method. Hypothesis One (H0): There is no significant effect of Blended Learning Model (BLM) and Students’ achievement in QSEAT at Senior Secondary School Hypothesis One (H1): There is significant effect of Blended Learning Model (BLM) and Students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations at Senior Secondary School Table 2.

The F- stat. value of 2.26 for treatment is significant at 0.03 which is less than 0.05 alpha levels and thus the null hypothesis is rejected and accepts the alternative hypothesis. We therefore conclude that there is a significant effect of Blended Learning on students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. This indicates that there is a significant difference in the mean achievement scores of students who were taught with Blended Learning as instructional guide and those who were exposed to traditional method of teaching. Hypothesis Two (H0): There is no significant impact of Blended Learning and Students’ motivation towards learning and teaching of QSEAT at Senior Secondary School. Hypothesis Two (H1): There is significant impact of Blended Learning and Students’ motivation towards learning and teaching of Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations at Senior Secondary School Table 3.

R Squared = .129 (Adjusted R Squared = -.117) The BL Experimental Group and Control group have been compared by means Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) test, and the data acquired are demonstrated in the table above. The finding shows that there was a statistically significant difference between Experimental and Control Group and the impact of students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. The effect of a blended learning environment on the students’ academic performance has been analyzed. It was discovered that the academic success of the students who have studied in a blended learning environment in which online learning environment and face to face learning environment are used together increases. The fact that the students can get access to information in any place without being limited by boundaries or spaces with a blended learning environment, and the fact that a blended learning environment provides exchange of information and ideas in the cyber world are the factors causing the increase of their achievement. The result of this study asserted that a blended learning environment increases students’ academic achievement and it was supported by Dikli, S., & Kocoglu (2018); Leung (2020); and Keramati et al (2019) in the studies conducted on blended learning. They are the courses in which the online courses are used in the best way. Not only does blended learning provide an environment in which there is simultaneous feedback and effective usage of technology but also it provides the learners in an online learning environment to be in interaction. The results obtained from the statistical analysis indicated a significant difference in achievement scores between the experimental and control groups, favoring the blended learning approach. The findings suggest that the integration of technology and online resources enhanced students' understanding of quadratic and simultaneous equations, as well as their problem-solving skills. Importantly, this study highlights the potential of blended learning to promote active student engagement and improve academic outcomes in mathematics education. 9. Conclusions This study has shown the positive impact of the BL in encouraging students’ achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous equations (QSEAT). The test results indicated that students who received instruction through blended learning strategies outperformed those who received traditional lecture-based instruction. It is therefore recommended that this approach be put to use in the teaching and learning of Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. Not only blended learning affords an environment in which there is simultaneous feedback and effective usage of technology but also it provides the learners in an online learning environment to be in interaction. This benefit of blended learning is proof that it will gain an

Blended learning provided an interactive and dynamic learning environment that engaged students in a variety of instructional methods, including computer- based learning activities. This approach facilitated independent thinking, problem-solving skills, and critical analysis, all of which are essential for success in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. The integration of technology also allowed students to receive immediate feedback and access to additional learning resources, further enhancing their understanding of the subject matter. The findings of this study suggest that the incorporation of blended learning into Mathematics education can yield significant improvements in students' achievement. This pedagogical approach not only enhances students' understanding of Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations but also promotes their overall mathematical reasoning and problem-solving abilities. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of considering alternative instructional strategies, such as blended learning, to cater to the diverse learning needs and preferences of students. By embracing the benefits of technology in education, educators can create a more inclusive and effective learning environment that fosters students' success in Mathematics. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educational institutions and policymakers give due attention to the integration of blended learning approaches into the curriculum for Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations. Additionally, further research should be conducted to explore the long-term effects of blended learning on students' mathematical achievement and to identify best practices for its implementation. In conclusion, the positive impact of blended learning on students' achievement in Quadratic and Simultaneous Equations highlights its potential to revolutionize Mathematics education and empower students to excel in this important subject area.
