Limitations of Blended Learning in Bangladesh: A Measurement for a Decade

Abstract

This study portrays a picture of why blended learning process in Bangladesh is now not appropriate to the students in any level of education systems. A total of 21 teachers and 17 administrators in more than 25 public and private universities interviewed with a set of 11 questions in a questionnaire. The results of frequency count from the questionnaire showed that blended learning requires a minimum of 12-15 years to be implemented across the country. There were also some positive signs of quick adaptation of blended learning process in Bangladesh on conditions. Inadequate logistic support causes the obstacle to achieve the goal of blended learning in Bangladesh. The acknowledgement of the interviewees on acceptability and sustainability of blended learning to the students enhances the popularity of this process. Based on the analysis of the answers of interviewees in this study, some suggestions have been added to make conscious to the policy makers in education sectors.
