The purpose of this study is to explore the reasons of online learner participation in blended learning environments. The study group consisted of 14 graduate students, who had prior learning experiences in blended learning. In this study, semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews were made and these interviews were coded and analyzed in NVivo. At first data divided into two categories as “participation” and “nonparticipation”. Then four categories, which are named as “willingly participation”, “unwillingly participation”, “willingly nonparticipation”, and “unwillingly nonparticipation”. For “willingly participation”, two themes were identified as benefit and interest. For “unwillingly participation”, the themes were responsibility and suppression. For “willingly nonparticipation” four themes were identified as bad design, not interesting, not benefiting, and existence of face to face opportunity. Suppression, work overload, shortage of time, and hesitation were identified as themes of “unwillingly nonparticipation”.

Bu çalışmada karma öğrenme ortamlarında çevrimiçi katılım sağlamanın ve sağlamamanın sebeplerini ele alan nitel bir araştırmaya yer verilmektedir. Çalışma grubunu, karma öğrenme ortamlarına dair deneyimi bulunan 14 lisansüstü öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında yarı yapılandırılmış bireysel görüşmeler ve odak grup görüşmesi yapılmış, veriler nitel analiz programlarından biri olan NVivo ile kodlanmıştır. Hem katılım sağlama, hem sağlamama için veriler isteyerek ve istemeden katılım olmak üzere iki temaya ayrılmıştır. Çalışma sonunda; isteyerek katılım için, ihtiyaç ve ilgi; istemeden katılım için, sorumluluk ve baskı katılım sağlamayı etkileyen nedenler olarak belirlenmiştir. İsteyerek katılmama durumu için ihtiyaç duymama, ilgi çekmeme, kötü tasarım, yüz yüze imkânı; istemeden katılım sağlamama için ise iş yükü, zaman darlığı, çekinme ve baskı neden olarak belirlenmiştir.
