Abstract

The combined blended learning with other teaching strategies has become a considerable concern for educators around the world nowadays. The characteristics of such a blend that can be retrieved at any time, in any place, multi-users, and all its simplicity have made it a very appropriate pedagogical medium for the development of education. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Cooperative Learning in Blended Learning (CLBL) environment on teaching. The students’ learning achievement by comparing CLBL environment and teacher-led instruction in BL environment and the students’ responses to such learning environment were analyzed. A true-experimental study was employed at the English Education Department of Teacher Training and Education Faculty of Borneo Tarakan University in the 2019-2020 academic year. Sixty-four of fifth-semester students were matched and chosen at random to be a half of them as the experimental class and control class for another half. The main instruments used to gain the intended data were a pretest, a posttest, and an interview guide. The results of the independent samples t-test indicated that the CLBL environment yielded a significant effect on the students’ learning achievement. The students who learned through the CLBL environment far outperformed those who studied through teacher-led instruction in BL environment. This was proved by the probability value of the t-test on the posttest (0.025), which was smaller than the level of significance (0.050). In addition, the students were positive about the productiveness of the CLBL environment, and they found that it really helped them learn.
