Evaluation of Hybrid Learning in the University: A Case Study Approach

Abstract

Hybrid learning is a type of educational system in which some students attend class in person while others engage virtually from home. Hybrid learning has been applied in all educational institutions since the pandemic. BINUS University used a Learning Management System called Binusmaya to support teaching and learning activities for both hybrid and fully online learning. The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of hybrid learning at BINUS University based on student performance academically and non-academically. It focuses on students from the 2019–2020 academic year. The survey obtained 200 replies using a quantitative technique and a Google form as the media questionnaire. Previous research has shown that hybrid learning provides effective results in terms of academic achievement. Compared to this study, few criteria are used to measure the effectiveness of hybrid learning, such as environment, knowledge, and skills. In addition, we have added the comparison between hybrid learning and the full online method at BINUS University. The results indicate that hybrid learning is ineffective compared to fully online learning. Furthermore, hybrid students were dissatisfied with their overall results, and students pursuing full-time online courses outperformed hybrid students. This study also provides some approaches to increasing the effectiveness of hybrid learning at BINUS University. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2022-03-04-03 Full Text: PDF

University Students’ Rejection to Learning Statistics: Research from a Latin American Standpoint

“…Similarly, these results provide evidence in favor of the fourth hypothesis, which generates a future challenge in the training of students [36][37][38]. The challenge is to contribute to the development of students' liking for statistics so that negative beliefs, fear, and avoidance behavior towards this subject decrease [39,40].…”

The Safe Learning Environment in the United Arab Emirates Schools and Its Relationship to the Development of Creative Thinking Among Students

“…The results indicate that the arithmetic means of the responses of the study sample ranged between (3.92 -4.42), which are averages that fall within the high average and the very high average. 10,8,12,18,14,15,20,17,13,19,16) which came up. The results also indicated that the arithmetic mean at its highest level was for paragraph No.…”

“…The results indicate that the arithmetic averages of the responses of the study sample ranged between (4.09 -4.44), which are averages that fall within the high average and the very high average. (18,16,17,15,20,19) which came in high.…”

“…The educational environment plays an important role in achieving the goals of education along with the curriculum, the teacher, and modern teaching methods that activate the role of the learners and make them at the heart of the educational process. To achieve the goals of education, the educational environment has to be attractive and exciting on the physical side, and prepared on the moral side, so that learners feel comfortable, safe, challenged, and motivated to learn [14,15]. Some studies show a positive and effective correlation between a safe learning environment and students' creativity and excellence.…”

Effective Blended Learning Model Selection Based on Student Learning Style using Analytic Hierarchy Process for an Undergraduate Engineering Course

“…Each model has its concept and characteristics that may affect the student's understanding and learning outcome [8]. Compared to fully online learning, blended learning is ineffective due to external factors like environment, knowledge, and skills [9]. To ensure that engineering students can stand a chance in competing in the industrial fields with the knowledge and skills required in management, planning, problem-solving and decisionmaking, blended learning models in the universities significantly impact the students.…”
