Educational environments created by combining traditional learning environments and technology have grown, especially in recent years and have become an indispensable part of education. Therefore, with this research we aimed to evaluate students’ attitudes towards blended learning. To gather university students’ opinions on the effectiveness of blended learning, a descriptive survey method was used. Two hundred and eighty-seven students enrolled for information technologies courses in the spring semester of the 2022–2023 academic year in the computer engineering department at various universities in Kazakhstan participated in the research. Research data were collected using the blended learning attitude scale developed by the researchers. This scale was used to gain information from students participating in the research. The scale was used twice, with an interval of 5 weeks, before and after the information technologies course was presented in the blended learning environment. University students’ attitudes towards blended learning were partially positive before the presentation of information technology education in the blended learning environment, and after the presentation a positive increase was observed. The attitudes of students with experience in the blended learning environment were found to be higher than those of students without experience.
