- Abstract
Blended learning is a combination of learning or a combination of face-to-face and online learning elements in a coherent manner. This method can be a solution to the impact of a pandemic on lectures. Therefore, this paper seeks to describe the impact of using the blended learning method on student motivation and understanding in lectures. Primary data applied in this paper to see students’ perceptions regarding the learning methods applied and the obstacles they feel during lectures. The population is all participants in the International Law class, Department of International Relations, Universitas Andalas. This paper shows that blended learning can be a choice for lecturers that can increase student understanding and motivation in learning. The implementation of this method requires detailed lecture instructions so that students can focus on learning. This blended learning method depends on a stable internet connection network and a stable Learning Management System (LMS) server as a place for conducting online lectures. However, based on the survey, students had problems accessing the LMS because the servers were often down. This problem makes it difficult for students to carry out class activities that support the achievement of learning outcomes.
