dc.description.abstract | The Corona Virus (Covid 19) pandemic which is currently ravaging the nations of the world has culminated in the adaptation of virtual learning/online teaching methodology, using information and communication technology infrastructure, to enhance and facilitate teaching and learning (T&L) strategies in higher educational (HE) institutions. This study explores the impact and effectiveness of virtual learning (blended learning) employed by a HE institution on the academic goals of Foundation Mathematics students, during this Covid 19 pandemic era. The study confirms that for learners to continuously engage in virtual learning, developing a positive attitude towards virtual learning is very important. By using descriptive statistics and paired t-test analytical tools to analyze the data obtained, the study verified that BBB virtual learning, which is an instruction strategy adopted in this Covid 19 pandemic era, has significantly impacted on students’ academic performance in developing academic skills. It is, however, recommended that further training sessions on virtual learning, for faculty and staff, are rolled out focusing primarily on how this T&L methodology can further improve the efficiency and effectiveness in enhancing and developing learners’ academic skills. | en_US |
