Abstract
The overload in teachers’ role has been renowned and optimized by generative
adaptation of technology, which means teaching capability can be improved if
educationalists blend technology tropically and timely. Based on this belief, this
study tried to judge the teachers’ practices in Blended Learning (BL) environment
in the context of secondary level students. For this purpose, an empirical study was
conducted at Government High School No.1 (boys) Tordher district Swabi Khyber
Pakhtun Khwa (KPK). All 120 enrolled science students of grade 9 and 4 science
teachers participated in the study. The students’ perception of teachers’ practices of
preparedness, innovation, and developing feedback skills in the BL environment
were ascertained through a survey questionnaire whereas 20 students were also
interviewed randomly. The responses were measured through a 5-point based The overload in teachers’ role has been renowned and optimized by generative

were ascertained through a survey questionnaire whereas 20 students were also
interviewed randomly. The responses were measured through a 5-point based Likert scale, data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The research
method used for this study was the explanatory sequential approach of
mixed-method (Creswell, 2014). Based on the study findings, teachers’ practices
improved in the BL environment and hence recommended that secondary school
teachers need to be encouraged to use the BL approach instead of merely using
Information Communication Technology (ICT) or traditional methods of teaching.
