Resumo

O presente estudo tem se esforçado para explorar o nível de percepção e atitude dos alunos sauditas do ESP em relação à aplicação do aprendizado combinado do Blackboard. Os dados obtidos incluíram questionários quantitativos e entrevistas qualitativas semiestruturadas para atingir o objetivo do estudo. Em geral, os questionários revelaram a percepção e as atitudes positivas dos alunos em relação à aprendizagem combinada como uma experiência técnica de aprendizagem. Isto foi acompanhado por algum nível de tédio, isolamento social, resposta tardia dos professores e problemas técnicos nas respostas dos alunos. No entanto, as entrevistas semiestruturadas mostraram uma percepção relativamente positiva dos alunos em relação à aprendizagem combinada. Embora eles pensassem que deveria ser usado em circunstâncias limitadas, como condições climáticas severas. Os problemas relatados pelos alunos foram confrontados, investigados e acompanhados de sugestões e recomendações a serem superadas pelas autoridades educacionais.
