ABSTRACT

This paper presents the findings of a rapid review of evidence on what works in blended learning in adult education which was undertaken to support the evidence informed introduction of blended learning in police education nationally across all police forces in England and Wales. Following a systematic search, screening, and quality assessment process, 42 studies, including 10 systematic reviews, were included in the final synthesis. Findings suggest that blended learning is at least as good as, if not more effective than, only face-to-face, or only online learning methods. The research evidence highlights the importance of bespoke design to suit learner needs and the type of content to be delivered, as well as the importance of providing appropriate support to both instructors and learners to engage with blended methods. Based on the findings, a toolkit is provided to guide police educators in designing and delivering curricula using blended methods.

摘要

本文介绍了对成人教育中混合学习有效的证据进行快速审查的结果，该证据旨在支持英格兰和威尔士所有警察部队在全国警察教育中引入混合学习的证据。经过系统的搜索、筛选和质量评估过程后，42 项研究（包括 10 项系统评价）被纳入最终综合。调查结果表明，混合学习至少与仅面对面或仅在线学习方法一样好，甚至更有效。研究证据强调了定制设计以满足学习者需求和要提供的内容类型的重要性，以及为教师和学习者提供适当支持以参与混合方法的重要性。根据调查结果，
