The Effectiveness of Blended Learning for New Generation Learning Materials to Train Science Process Skills

The development of the ICT has influenced various fields of life, including the development of teaching materials for undergraduate students of elementary school teacher programs of a distance university. This research aims to describe the effectiveness of blended learning of the new generation of science learning materials for science process skills. This research implements a quasi-experimental type of research. Respondents in this research were 56 students in the UT Regional Office area of Jember East of Java Indonesia. The results showed the students' mastery of science process skills and learning outcomes in natural science learning materials in both moderate and high categories. Student responses showed great interest in the science content, the teaching materials, and the learning atmosphere. The constraints faced in blended learning are the internet network to support the ICT-based tutorials and the challenge to change the habit of using printed science teaching materials during teaching within blended learning.
