Abstract
The 4th industrial revolution effects many areas in today’s global era, including higher institution. Internet is the main instrument in this revloution. The limitation of time room availibility of the students will accor if the schools appliy face to face only in leaarning process. Blended learning is the alternative solution to overcome the case of inavility time and palce to learn. In addition to developing distance universities should also equip students with English reading skill. This study is aimed at describing the effect of blended learning on English academic reading by using experimental method with pretest-posttest control design. The sample of this research is 32 students of AMIK Bina Sriwijaya. The data were collected through English reading comprehension test in the form of multiple choice and were analyzed by using Independent Sample T test. Based on the Independent Sample T test output table in the Equal variances assumed section, it is found that Sig values. (2 tailed) of 0.001<0.05.It can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the average learning outcomes of respondents in the experimental group and respondents in the control group. In other word, there is significant effect of blended learning on students reading skill achievement.
Highlights
The development of technology has been entering industrial revolution 4.0
The researchers apply true experimental design with randomized pretest-posttest control group design that can be visualized in the Table 4 bellow
From the calculation it can be seen that the level of pre-test score significance in the experimental group uses the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method of 0.200 and for the Shapiro-Wilk method, the level of significance of pre-test scores is 0.850
Summary
The development of technology has been entering industrial revolution 4.0. Online transport business such as Gojek, Uber and Grab shows the integration of human activities with information technology. In higher education, this disruption phenomenon can be seen from the development of collaborative research among researchers from various disciplines and universities. This disruption phenomenon can be seen from the development of collaborative research among researchers from various disciplines and universities To cope with this revolution, universities must develop distance learning so that students can still learn and be able to access the learning materials without having to attend the class, learning can be accessed by using mobile technology.
