Abstract
Purpose: This study explored the conceptual framework and procedures of course design and then optimal evaluation tools for blended learning in social work education in the Chinese context. Method: Fifteen courses of five social work programs in Hong Kong are used to create a blueprint for blended learning in the social work curriculum in the Hong Kong Chinese context. Videos, virtual tours, online games, and an e-forum are components of the course design while pre-test and post-test multiple measurements are used for course evaluation. Parameters are provided for the blended learning blueprint and framework that integrate face-to-face instruction and virtual learning elements. Results: A prominent conceptual framework and important protocols in social work higher education in China is introduced. Discussion: The results of this study contribute to current understanding of the applicability and pedagogical aspects of blended learning in social work in the Chinese context, especially in the post-pandemic era.
