Abstract: The combination of online and offline approaches strengthens students' motivation and emotional expression through electronic media and face-to-face instruction. A population of 180 grade four primary school pupils, including 73 males and 107 females, was selected for this study. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The study was guided by three research questions. The instruments used for data collection were a structured questionnaire adopted and modified by the researchers in line with the research questions. Cronbach's Alpha reliability test, which yielded a reliability index of 0.73, was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument. Mean, standard deviation, and factor loading were the test statistics. The findings of the study indicated that most primary school pupils said that they laugh loudly at jokes even when the educational process is online or offline. I do not allow people to easily see through my feelings regardless of whether the class is online or offline, thereby influencing students’ eagerness to stay positive and learn. Students may not be able to hide their feelings or display strong emotions about their teachers or learning experiences. Also, this study found that students react very strongly to emotional situations during learning, and the feelings are written all over their faces. Thus, an adequate and effective teaching method is the key for effective knowledge and skill transfer. It was recommended that curriculum planners should adopt dance education, especially in teaching pupils in technologically enriched areas.
