Abstract

The current research aimed at investigating the impact of blended learning on developing the skills of using virtual math labs among postgraduate female students at the College of Education, King Saud University, Riyadh. The researchers used the quasi-experimental design, and the research sample consisted of (16) female postgraduate (MA and Ph.D.) students specializing in curriculum and teaching methods of mathematics. The research followed the experimental and descriptive methods. The research tool and measure consisted of a performance test and a note card (prepared by the researchers). The results of the study showed that there are statistically significant differences between the pre and post test scores of experimental group in favor of the post test scores. The study concluded with some recommendations and suggestions in the light of the study results.
