ItemFactors influencing the acceptance of blended learning by early childhood undergraduate studentsThe mixed-method research approach was applied to explore early childhood major students' levels of acceptance and attitudes towards blended learning based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT 2) and College and University Classroom Environment Inventory (CUCEI). Three hundred sixty-three undergraduate early childhood major students in China participated in the study. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis was used to determine which variablesin the UTAUT2 and CUCEI significantly impacted blended learning acceptance. The interview data supplemented the findings of the quantitative data. It was found that socialinfluence and classroom environment significantly impacted blended learning acceptance. Results also indicated that blended learning is more likely to be accepted and used because of the ease of its use and the convenience it offers, as well as promoting a better social and classroom environment. However, the blended learning acceptance was not correlated with performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, facilitating condition, and price value. Based on these findings, the researcher provided suggestions for decision-makers regarding using and accepting blended learning in their institutions. Administrators and educators can use this study's findings to guide their implementation and improvement of blended learning.

The investigation was carried out by employing the pretest and post-test to determine the level of their knowledge prior to and after implementing self-designed activities. The observation during 36 hours classroom participation had been recorded to see levels of their skills improvement. The questionnaires were used to identify a level of students’ perceptions towards the program whether it is statistically significantly different from the neutral level (3.42). The results revealed that the post-test score was higher than the pretest . The number of students who had generally improved those skills was greater during classroom observation. In addition, the students rated their perceptions towards self-designed learning activities at 4.45, which was statistically significantly higher than the value of 3.42 as hypothesized. It can be concluded that the self-designed learning activities effectively help to enhance students’ learning interests as well as their performance in the subject matter. These findings are also particularly relevant and beneficial to teachers and facilitators as the teaching designers who design the lesson plan in order to increase students’ learning achievement.
