Abstract

This research was conducted to study the interest of blended learning among the students of Tamil primary schools and to identify the performance on the verse and figurative language (ceiyulum moziyaniyum). Primary schools including Tamil primary schools of Malaysia have implemented blended learning in their teaching and learning process. Both traditional and online learning are blended. Due to the implementation of blended learning in schools, the attitude of students changed and it became a powerful and effective tool for the students to learn. Many types of research on blended learning among primary school students and teachers have been carried out. According to these studies' findings, blended learning in primary schools both in traditional and online learning is essential. The impacts, effects, and environment are focused. Compared with these previous studies, the present study discusses and provides information about the interest and performance of blended learning in primary schools. Moreover, Tamil primary school students are focused on in this study. Further, the findings of this study show that students’ participation in blended learning and their performance are high even during pandemic days. In this study, 4 different Tamil primary schools in Kedah State, Malaysia involved in blended learning were selected. Based on the objectives, the data were analyzed. The findings show that students’ participation in blended learning and their performance are high even during pandemic days.
