Blended Collaborative Learning for Anti-drug Education in Chinese Secondary Schools: A Case Study

Blended collaborative learning (BCL), specifically the “online and offline” hybrid learning model, has become a prevalent approach for anti-drug education in Chinese secondary schools. However, the design, implementation, and reliable evaluation of BCL still face major challenges. This paper utilizes Grade 10 students in a Chinese secondary school as the research participants and employs online-offline BCL to conduct anti-drug education over a four-week teaching period. Firstly, during the implementation of the project, how the group collaborated on online and offline learning around specific anti-drug issues is illustrated; secondly, the practical effects of the online-offline BCL are summarized; and lastly, the principles of designing learning activities, course evaluation and grading are discussed from the perspective of key elements of BCL.
