Implementation of Hybrid Learning as a Form on Educational Technology at the University Level

Abstract

This study implemented a Hybrid Learning strategy through class action studies. The purpose of using Hybrid Learning in the classroom was to encourage students' critical thinking. The application of Hybrid Learning strategies was motivated by demonstrating that existing strategies leave students passive and, as a result, instructor-provided materials are limited. Hybrid Learning strategies should develop tutor guidance to achieve learning outcomes. Study subjects included her 176 student of Faculty of Engineering. This research was conducted by threecycles Class Action Research. Data were collected through observation-guided learning activities and student performance tests. Results showed that the student's critical thinking improved from 8.4% for him to 42.2% for her in the first cycle after treatment. In the second cycle, it developed even stronger to 92.3%. In the third cycle, student performance exceeded the threshold level. The conclusion was that Hybrid Learning was effective in developing students' critical thinking skills.
