Hello, Ms. Yovika Sukma.
Thank you for presenting such a good paper.
I am so interested in this topic.
I have two questions about blended learning and its effect on mathematical skills.
(1) In your paper, you discuss blended learning and its effectiveness toward
students^ critical thinking. In which activity, we (as a teacher) can assess students^
critical thinking more flexibly? In online learning or face-to-face learning activity?
(2) Based on your opinion, do you think that blended learning can be a suitable
future learning model for education in Indonesia?
Please kindly give your explanation. Thank you.
Dear Mr. Yohannes,
Thank you for your appreciation and also your interesting questions.
Here I am trying to answer your questions.
For the first question, in which activities can we assess students^ critical thinking
skills more flexibility in online learning or face-to-face learning activity?
Based on the previous research, we can assess students ^critical thinking more
flexibility in online learning. For example, if we want to know the development of
our students^ critical thinking through discussion activities, if the discussion in the
face-to-face class we do not have an archive of what they discuss, so when we
want to assess the development does not exist. Still, if the discussion is in online
learning, we can quickly evaluate our students^ critical thinking skills because there
is an archive. So, online learning not only offers opportunities for students to
practice but also for teachers to check students^ understanding (Naidoo et al.,
2016)

For the second question, is it blended learning can be a suitable future learning
model for education in Indonesia?
So, my answer is yes, it is. In my opinion, in the future, all learning activities will
emphasize students^ ability to think not only to achieve certain goals, as we know
that developing thinking skills for students requires a lot of practice, time, and
teachers^ guidance. And with blended learning, teachers can continue guidance
students anywhere at any time, in the sense that teachers do not only guide
students in a face-to-face class but can still guide students outside face-to-face
class with online learning. So, in my opinion, blended learning is suitable for future
learning in Indonesia, with the condition all regions of Indonesia have the same
technological conditions, or in the area which possible to implement online learning.
That^s the answer from me. Hopefully, this answer answers your questions and
hopefully useful.
Thank you.
