互联网的扩展提供了在线课程，这些课程提供了灵活性和个性化学习，以适应学生的学习风格，包括面对面学习。混合式学习已经在课堂上被用来培养21世纪学生的技能。本文采用实验研究的方法，对混合学习模式在学生自主学习和交际能力培养中的有效性进行了研究。数据收集工具包括自我导向学习和沟通技能测试。本研究中使用的样本组包括Srinakharinwirot大学理学院的84名一年级研究生，他们在2013年第一学期注册了信息素养技能课程。他们被分成两组。41名学生被安排在实验组，另外44名被安排在控制组。采用百分比、平均值、标准差和t检验进行数据分析。结果表明，混合学习课堂的学生在自主学习和沟通技能方面的得分高于普通课堂的学生。这表明，混合学习不仅有利于信息素养技能课程，而且有利于帮助一年级学生适应大学生活并为工作做好准备的一般课程。
The expansion of the Internet offers online courses which provide flexibility and individual learning to accommodate students’ learning styles, including the face-to-face learning. Blended learning has been employed in classrooms to nurture the skills of students in the 21st century. This paper has studied the effectiveness of the blended learning model in self-directed learning and the development of communication skills of students by using the experimental research methodology. Data collecting tools consisted of self-directed learning and communication skill tests. The sample group used in this study comprised 84 first-year graduate students in the Faculty of Science at Srinakharinwirot University who registered in the Information Literacy Skills course in the first semester of 2013. They were divided into two groups. Forty-one students were placed in the experimental group and forty-four others were placed in the control group. Percentage, mean, standard deviation and t-test were used for data analysis. The results revealed that the blended learning classroom students had higher scores in self-directed learning and communication skills than the normal classroom students. This suggests that blended learning is beneficial not only for the Information Literacy Skills course but also for general courses that assist the first-year students to adjust to university life and prepare them for the work place.
