It also aimed to understand the impact of community and community-based mentoring programs on children and youth’s overall development to analyse the gaps in existing mentoring programs implemented by the communities. Using a qualitative research study approach, the data was gathered using a predesigned interview guide from the individuals who belonged to the chosen communities.

This thesis investigates the use of BL with students in an intensive educational program. The purpose was to investigate how to prepare teachers to create a productive BL environment for their students. Finally, the study sought to discover how students experienced the teacher's practice and behavior and the extent to which these factors affected student perceptions of the course and BL environment in general. A mixed-methods approach was employed which involved quantitative and qualitative data collection from 26 students and one teacher. The findings indicate that the teachers needed a fairly minimal amount of pedagogical and technical training to employ BL successfully. Collaborative planning also proved very beneficial, together with technical and pedagogical support throughout the course. Students were found to work more autonomously and focused while becoming more responsible for their own learning. This enabled the teachers to better provide personalized assistance, keep better track of student progress, and cover more materials. Students also liked learning in the BL environment and indicated they would prefer this to more conventional classes. Lastly, teacher practice and behavior was found to have minimal influence on student perceptions of the BL environment though some results suggested that teacher experience might be a predictor of student satisfaction with their teachers. 4
