The Effects of Online and Hybrid Teaching Practices on the Academic Performance of Engineering Students in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

In the current study, the researcher has analyzed the impacts of online and hybrid teaching practices on the academic performance of students in higher education institutions. The research provides a significant review of literature of the relevant past studies, in order to significantly cover the topic and also find out shortcomings and gaps in the previous research and studies. In this research, the researcher has implemented quantitative research method, deductive research approach, and positivist research philosophy resulting in detailed review of literature, hypotheses formulation, collection of primary data through survey and then quantitative analysis of that data with the help of the application of the tool SPSS and the correlation, regression, and ANOVA techniques. The impact of appropriate and comfortable places, extent of ease, online learning, online mode of course delivery, online classes attendance, reliance on the recorded sessions, enhanced concentration for the recorded lectures and recordings of the sessions for both hybrid and online courses on the academic performance of the students is significant. Furthermore, the impact of attending the classes along with watching the recordings has been found to be significant whereas, only watching the recording sessions has been found to be insignificant for impacting the academic performance of the students. The impact of only watching the recording sessions and problematic factors has been found to be insignificant for impacting the performance of the students.
