Blended Learning Research Paper

Education is one of the most important things for everyone, from all walks of life, especially in today's competitive era. For that variety of ways are used to raise the standard of education, so that later will produce students skilled, clever, and able to answer the challenges of the times better. One method used is blended learning, which is a mixture of traditional methods of online learning.

Education purpose in terms of education, this thesis is expected to be one of the considerations to choose blended learning that will be used or applied at the high school level. So that it can apply blended learning model in accordance with all aspects of learning.

1.2 MOTIVATION

Today, high-quality education is a consideration for all parents to place their children in a formal and non-formal school. It spawned a variety of learning methods offered to attract the attention of parents. One of the methods offered is blended learning. This method becomes one that is quite often discussed by experts because in its development requires a combination of traditional method

(face-to-face method) with online learning. In addition, in its development, there is no standard that can be used as a reference.
For that, I am interested to use this as a topic in completing this thesis. Working on this thesis is also a tool for me personally to deepen about blended learning and what is needed or what needs to be fulfilled in building blended-learning environment. In addition, I hope the future of this thesis can be used as one example in the development and application of blended learning at the high school level.

1.3 METHOD
The discussion raised in this thesis is related to blended learning.

Where to combine face-to-face learning or traditional learning and online learning. The method used for its manufacture uses a skill-driven method. In this skill-driven method, learners still need to attend formal classes scheduled by the school. As for online learning, using a simple website. This website can be accessed by students, teachers, and administrators who are tasked to monitor the website. To be able to use this website, students need to create an account that contains the student's brief data. After that, subsequent access only needs to enter student ID and password that have been registered before. On the website, it will contain some material that can be used by students as a reference in learning. It also contains some tasks assigned by the teacher to be collected at the next meeting or emailed to the teaching

teacher.

1.4 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The development of all aspects of life, both in terms of economy, politics, health, technology, and others, demands an increase in the quality of human resources capable of competing in these developments. Winning the academics are competing to create a good education system and can improve the quality of human resources. So many learning models are offered by various schools or universities, both formal and non-formal. These models are made to increase the level of curiosity of learners, but it also improves the quality of learning, so that later will improve the quality of learners. Blended learning, became one of the learning models offered by many places of education. Blended learning itself has several models that can be practiced. Here I propose blended learning with skill-driven models, which are more likely to be used locally with some limitations, and use hematology classes as examples of implementation objects.

1.5 CONCLUSION
The use of blended learning for teaching and learning process that has been increasingly widespread, making it as one of the reasons for the discussion in this thesis. In addition, the blended learning model offered in this discussion uses a skill-driven model which has sufficient face-to-face and online-learning intensity, in addition to online learning that is applied also allows to be applied in areas that have some limitations, such as in areas that lack the internet network is qualified. In addition, with the class hematology as an object of application, it is expected that in the future will make students learn that class becomes more motivated to learn and understand the material taught so that indirectly will print future generation that qualified.
