Abstract

Introduction

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, schools had to switch online. As universities ease face-to-face (F2F) schooling, blended teaching and learning (BTL) enables the continuous delivery of education. However, the sudden transition to BTL poses challenges for students and teachers, especially for health sciences programmes that require hands-on practical experience. Several studies have evaluated F2F teaching and learning contexts through student feedback and evaluations. However, there needs to be more reliable and valid self-report questionnaires that focus on the perceptions and experiences of students experiencing BTL. This study will critically appraise, compare and summarise the quality of self-report questionnaires evaluating BTL among health science university students based on their psychometric properties.

Methods and analysis

A systematic review and meta-analysis design will be used. This review will adhere to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols and follow the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) standardised guidelines. 13 databases will be searched for studies reporting BTL self-report questionnaires as evaluation tools with their respective psychometric properties. Two independent reviewers will appraise the paper using the COSMIN risk of bias checklist and the quality of evidence of the psychometric properties of the relevant questionnaires will be assessed using the modified Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. Based on their psychometric properties, these assessments will comprehensively summarise and present the best recommendations for the most appropriate self-report questionnaires for BTL evaluation.

Ethics and dissemination

The University of the Philippines’ Research Grants Administration Office exempted this research protocol from ethics review evaluation (protocol number UPMREB 2022–0259-EX) since this study will not collect individual data. The research protocol was registered with PROSPERO. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and conferences to aid researchers and professionals in the field of health education to prudently choose effective self-report questionnaires evaluating blended learning.
