Abstract

With the advent of artificial intelligence, institutions are now adopting the Blended learning approach, which infuses face-to-face strategies and online teaching methodologies. A blended learning approach is a way to enhance the quality of teaching and learning in higher education institutions, but how feasible is that in TVET Colleges? This study thus investigated the global perceptions of lecturers and students in Technical Vocational Education (TVET) colleges regarding Blended learning for teaching practical subjects online. It examined the challenges and opportunities of moving practical learning online, considering the unique requirements of first-hand subjects like Electrical Engineering, Tourism, Hospitality, Art, and Design. The study utilised articles from Google Scholar and Science Direct databases to comprehensively understand the effectiveness of Blended learning in the TVET context. Using Blended learning as a theoretical framework, a new methodological approach, and a promising blueprint for transforming higher education, the study adopted an integrative literature review methodology to synthesise identified cases and draw themes from the survey. The study brings new knowledge regarding the significant shift in online learning usage during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in vocational education, providing valuable insights for designing effective online learning strategies. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Blended Learning, Integrative Literature Review, Technical Vocational Education (TVET) Colleges
