The impact of blended learning on the value perceived of higher education

Abstract

In this paper, the impact of blended learning on the value perceived of higher education is studied. Focusing on Nova SBE Master’s programs, the methodology consists of measuring the dichotomy of benefits and sacrifices. A statistical hypothesis testing is used to attest the significance of the difference between blended learning and the face-to-face approach. The three main results of the study are: (i) student’s unfavourable overall perception of blended learning, (ii) the extremely adverse impact on conditional and epistemic value and (iii) the contribution of campus and the lack of social interaction with fellow students as major points of concern.
