Research Article Multidisciplinary

Abstract

Hybrid learning is an educational approach combining face-to-face classroom instruction with online learning activities. The study adopted a correlational research design) to investigate students’ perception of hybrid learning: Advantages and Challenges. The population of the study was 278 students in the department of curriculum studies and educational technology, faculty of education, university of Port Harcourt. The sample size used for the study was male and female 100 students. A simple random sampling technique was used) for the study. A structured questionnaire titled Students’ perception of hybrid learning: Advantages and Challenges (SPHLAC) with 20 items. Face and content validity was used for the study. Reliability coefficient of 0.86 was obtained. Mean and Z-test were used for the study. The study found that with the option to attend some classes online, students save time that would otherwise be spent commuting, allowing them to better balance their academic responsibilities with work, family, and personal commitments. Furthermore, the study also found that the flexibility of hybrid learning allows students to engage with course materials and activities at their own pace and at times that suit them best; this can lead to higher engagement levels, as students are less constrained by rigid schedules and can learn when they are most focused and motivated. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended that educational institutions should establish support programs that provide access to necessary technology and internet resources for students from lower-income backgrounds. This could include loan programs for devices, subsidized internet plans, or on-campus facilities equipped with necessary technology.
