Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether blended learning experiences can impact the engagement of high school students in Micronesia in all subjects. Using quantitative descriptive statistics, correlation, and linear regression, the researcher analyzed student engagement as impacted by the blended learning experience in all subject areas. The Student’s Blended Learning Experience (BLCES) and the Student’s Engagement in School Four-Dimensional Scale (SES-4DS) were the instruments that were used to find out if blended learning had a significant impact on student’s engagement in school. A universal sampling technique was used to analyze the collected data. A total of 102 students were included in the study. The study reveals significant insights into the demographics and experiences of high school students engaged in blended learning. Engagement levels are varied, with strong cognitive and social connections but lower behavioral and agency engagement. Regarding the correlation between demographic variables and blended learning experiences, it was found that demographic variables like age, gender, or educational background do not significantly affect the adoption or efficacy of blended learning designs in this context. Additionally, a substantial correlation has been found between student engagement and the blended learning experience. It emphasizes how crucial it is to properly plan and carry out blended learning experiences to maximize student engagement and academic results. Moreover, the regression analysis of the study shows a strong impact between students’ experiences and blended learning courses and their level of participation. The study also underlines the value of well-planned blended learning approaches and recommends mental health services, self-regulation programs, infrastructural support, and professional development. Effective instructional design and technology integration are critical, as seen by the association between engagement levels and blended learning experiences. With proper preparation, implementation, and ongoing support, blended learning can raise student engagement and satisfaction overall.
