INVESTIGATING BLENDED-LEARNING ENGAGEMENT OF FRESHMEN IN HIGHER EDUCATION

In the context of digital transformation of higher education, the blended-learning model is being applied more widely to enhance educational quality and meet students’ learning experience. This study aims to investigate freshmen’s feedback on attending blended-learning classrooms at Hong Bang International University (HIU). A cross-sectional survey design is used with questionnaires based on theoretical frameworks of technological approval and learning satisfaction. The data is collected from about 120 freshmen from different training fields at HIU. The data analysis is conducted through descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis based on SmartPLS4. The expected results will provide empirical evidence of learners’ satisfaction, engagement, effectiveness, and the factors affecting students’ feedback on blended-learning classrooms. The study contributes a scientific basis for design improvement and expands the blended-learning classroom model in higher education in Vietnam.
