Abstract

Objectives A survey was conducted to analyze the correlation between learning reality, learning commitment, and learning satisfaction according to blended learning beauty subject classes of beauty students.
 Methods A questionnaire survey was performed against a total of 310 students who had blended learning cosmetology course before. The factors of the awareness of blended learning cosmetology course were divided into educational environment, faculty and curriculum while learning presence factors were classified into cognitive presence, emotional presence and social presence. Then, the validity of each factor was tested, and their correlations were analyzed.
 Results In terms of the level of recognizing blended learning cosmetology courses, ‘hairdressing’ was high while ‘nail styling’ was low in effective major courses. In preferred online classes, ‘video class’ was high while ‘video conferencing’ was low. In effective class percentage, ‘both online and offline courses given equally’ was high while ‘online course-oriented’ was low. In hairdressing major, ‘educational environment’ and ‘learning presence’ were high. In Nail styling and makeup, on the contrary, they were taken low with statistical significance. In awareness of cosmetology courses, learning presence, learning flow and learning satisfaction by the online and offline percentage, no statistical significance was found. All cosmetology course factors had a positive influence on emotional presence, cognitive presence, social presence, learning flow and learning satisfaction. Among the factors concerning the awareness of cosmetology courses, ‘educational environment’ revealed the biggest influence on learning presence while ‘curriculum’ showed the largest effect on learning flow and learning satisfaction.
 Conclusions The awareness of blended learning cosmetology courses had a positive influence on learning presence. In addition, course awareness and learning presence showed a positive effect on learning flow and learning satisfaction. For blended learning cosmetology courses, both realtime teleconferencing and video class should be given. Furthermore, it is required to make the faculty build their competence and give in-depth theory curriculum. Instead of focusing on online curriculum only, the percentage of online and offline courses should be adjusted properly. In particular, nail art and makeup education environments and curriculum should be reviewed and improved accordingly.
