Abstract

Nowadays, blended learning is a popular teaching and learning concept in higher education, which enriches with modern technology. The flipped classroom is one of the models where blended learning techniques can be practiced. As an assistant for the online portion of the blended education, Open Educational Resources can be incorporated. This study focuses on analyzing the readiness of university lecturers to adopt flipped classroom techniques and Open Educational Resources in undergraduate blended education. For the data gathering, face-to-face interviews were conducted with the university lecturers. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The blended learning readiness was identified under blended learning techniques, challenges and student feedback. The willingness to adopt flipped classrooms were analyzed under activity types, challenges, student feedback and assessment. The adoption of Open Educational Resources was examined under techniques, challenges and student feedback. According to the analysis, it was able to identify that some of the lecturers are already using the techniques, and some are not. But the readiness was there with the lecturers to adapt to the environment, although there are challenges. Therefore, it can be said that blended learning techniques can easily be adopted by lecturers in undergraduate teaching and learning.
