Hybrid Learning in Times of Pandemic Covid-19: An Experience in a Lima University

ABSTRACT

Hybrid learning became more important in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. In this sense, the University of Sciences and Humanities implemented adequate strategies to guarantee the continuity of the teaching and learning process. At first, the virtual modality was chosen in its entirety, and then it went to a hybrid modality;however, the teachers were not trained;students had problems with connectivity and access to technological resources, which led more than 35% of them to drop out of their studies. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to know the perception of students about the hybrid modality, through a questionnaire applied to 142 students of the 2021-1 cycle, considering 19 integrated questions in 4 dimensions using the Likert scale with ordinal data didactic strategy, didactic resources, evaluation and tutoring system - all this in order to evaluate the strategies of the hybrid model proposed by the university. The results obtained in the dimensions show the highest score in the evaluation dimension, with an average of 4.51, specifically in the planning of the study program;however, the lowest average is found in the tutoring dimension, with an average of 3.22, which corresponds to participation in psycho-pedagogical workshops to improve academic performance. It is concluded that the didactic strategy in the hybrid modality has been satisfactorily approved by the students. However, tutoring must be strengthened through academic counseling, so that the beneficiaries of this research are students, teachers and parents. © 2023 Authors. All rights reserved.
