a. Project Based Learning
Both participants adopted project-based learning in their blended learning classes. Mr. Dedo explained that by having project at the end of the semester
students exercise their knowledge and experience. A project-based learning allows the use of new technologies. Students can be encouraged to utilize a range of
technological tools in order to complete, present and share their projects. A blended learning design enables integrating technology into the project Marsh,
2013. Mr. Chelto said that all his blended learning classes apply it. The reason
behind the adoption of project based learning in his class is that to accomplish project means students need to master the material well. Not only in term of
understanding it but also applying it. He wants creation, ranking on the top of Bloom taxonomy, to be the top of his course. Therefore, creativity will emerge in
students‟ project. The final assessment in Mr. Chelto‟s class is video making to be uploaded
in Excelsa. Before they can create video, they must be able to remember, understand, apply, analyze, and evaluate. Students can achieve the highest
thinking level in his class. All the steps or thinking level have been mastered. They have been tested in different level of thinking. The students‟ problem is
usually they understand the lesson but they poorly apply it. To some extent, Mr. Chelto
‟s class can also be called as a Project-based learning blended learning. It can simply be defined as project-based learning in a
blended learning environment. The product of a project-based blended learning is a technological work in form of audio, visual or audio visual. In it, students are
contextualized in higher level of thinking. They are engaged because they are actively involved in the project and they are contextualized because they apply
their understanding to create a product. Technology enables project based learning Hsieh 2013. Students use
tools such as video-editing and mp3-editing software. E-mail, LMS and mobile phone chat application facilitate communication and collaboration with the world
outside the classroom. Internet web provides access to museums, libraries, and collection of research report. Students can create audio visual compositions of art,
music, or text either individually or collaboratively. And all work can be published on the websites for review by real audiences, not just a single teacher,
class, or school. For instance, video can be uploaded to youtube so that anyone all over the world can watch and give feedback.
If we trace back, the emergence of Bloom taxonomy began 1950. However, the creation top rank was added as the revised version by Bloom
student in 2001. Related to blended learning, Churches 2009 has developed the so-called Bloom Digital Taxonomy. It is specialized for the use in the digital
work. Ranking on the topmost pyramid is still creating. Included in the creating are filming, producing, video blogging, video casting, broadcasting etc.
Hsieh et al 2013 suggest that in project blended learning students not only can access and obtain various resources in-class instruction but also from
online learning platform. Also, project-based learning provides the students teamwork opportunity to stimulate creativity and design ideas as well as to solve
problems. In Mr. Chelto‟s class, the students became more autonomous and confident because they are in blended learning environment. Additionally, the
students‟ learning motivation is enhanced through this blended creative project- based learning, as he stated that he has conducted a research on the benefit.
Therefore, the creative teaching approach brings different aspects to the course and makes the course more joyful and effective.
