Meta-analysis: Blended learning as solution in learning mathematics during the Covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

Blended learning is learning that is done face-to-face and online. During the COVID-19 pandemic, various forms of online learning were carried out, but online learning made students ineffective in learning. This study aims to analyze the blended learning applied during the pandemic as a solution in learning mathematics. This study uses a meta-analysis, namely, reviewing the journals following the research theme and eight journals obtained from Google Scholar. Journals downloaded online from google Scholar from 2017 to 2021 become a population. At the same time, the sampling was done by a purposive technique by looking at the criteria according to the needs being studied, which has been conducted on eight journals. The results of the study were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results show that blended learning is the right choice and solution in learning mathematics during the COVID-19 pandemic; the application of blended learning in mathematics learning during the pandemic has greatly helped teachers in delivering material to students and increasing student independence in learning, the use of blended learning during the pandemic is effective and can use as a virtual learning solution. The use of blended learning, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, is perfect for use in teaching because the teaching process like this can be done face-to-face and online so that it helps students understand learning.
