The main purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of the blended learning and
face-to-face learning on students’ academic achievements and transfer of learning. The first
aim of the study is to analyse the students’ academic achievements to determine the change
of theoretical knowledge in terms of the instructional method applied in this study. However,
students’ performances during the learning process are not always a good indicator. Therefore,
the second aim of the study is to examine transferring students’ theoretical knowledge to their
educational multimedia projects. For this purpose, 14 weeks of pre- and post-test experimental
study is designed. The study is administered through an educational technology course in
which students learn how to develop educational multimedia materials. The participants are
undergraduate pre-service teachers; they are assigned randomly to the experimental and
control group. While the experimental group has both online and classroom sessions, the
control group has only face-to-face classroom sessions. Although there is no significant
difference between the groups in terms of academic achievement, the students in the blended
group are more successful in transferring their knowledge to their projects than the ones in the
face-to-face group. In conclusion, the results show that the blended learning approach has a
positive effect on the transfer of learning.
