- Abstract
Instructors with lack of experience and negative attitudes with technology might experience difficulties when implementing the blended learning method. This study explored the relationships between instructors' attitudes toward implementing blended learning and instructors' self-reported hours of technology training and differences in attitudes toward blended learning by gender. The results demonstrated a statistically significant (r = 0.45, p = 0.01) relationship between instructors' degree of technology training and the use of multimedia resources; and a statistically significant (r = 0.36, p = 0.05) relationship between instructors' degree of technology training and the instructor communication knowledge when using online learning activities. The study concluded the importance of instructors' technology training, expertise with technology, and knowledge of course content for the implementation of the blended learning courses. The results of the study may be significant to leadership by providing insightful information on instructors' best practice to implement a successful blended learning method.
