Abstract
This research aimed to compare students’ learning achievement scores in physical fitness course before and after completing the course and also studied the satisfaction levels of the students engaged in blended learning. The sample was second-year physical education students who studied physical fitness course in the second semester of the academic year of 2020. This research used purposive sampling methods to select 50 participants. The teaching included 12 lessons: six onsite lessons and 6 online lessons. The participants completed the pretest, posttest, and satisfaction assessment of blended learning after the course. The data were analyzed using a paired t-test to determine percentage, mean, and standard deviation for comparing learning achievement before and after completing the course. The results showed statistically significant differences at .05. The findings revealed that the students’ learning outcomes after completing the course were higher than the ones before completing the course. The overall satisfaction of this blended teaching in physical fitness course was at a high level = 4.36, S.D. = .27
