Abstract

This study investigates the effect of the blended learning model on the learning outcomes of student teacher candidates enrolled in the Teacher Professional Education (PPG) program. Blended learning, which combines face-to-face and online learning components, is increasingly adopted in teacher education to enhance flexibility, engagement, and effectiveness. Using a quasi-experimental design, this research compares the academic performance of student teachers exposed to the blended learning model with those undergoing traditional instruction. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests and analyzed using statistical techniques to determine significant differences in learning outcomes. The findings indicate that the blended learning model significantly improves student teacher candidates’ understanding of pedagogical concepts and their application in teaching practice. The study concludes that integrating blended learning in the PPG program positively impacts the quality of teacher preparation, supporting more adaptive and student-centered instruction
