Assessing English Language Education Students’ Attitudes in Hybrid Learning Instructional Environments

Abstract

This study investigates the perspectives of English Language Education Department (ELED) students at a private Islamic institution in Yogyakarta regarding hybrid learning environments post-COVID-19 pandemic. The research, which employs a quantitative survey methodology, examines six crucial dimensions of hybrid learning: learning flexibility, online learning, study management, technology, classroom learning, and online interaction. The data obtained from a sample of 84 students indicated a generally favorable disposition toward hybrid learning. The students’ emphasis on the importance of flexibility and the incorporation of technology underscores the urgent need for these adaptations. The findings also reveal notable gender disparities in technological expertise, with female students showing a greater inclination towards hybrid learning. The study highlights the importance of ongoing enhancements in online learning and study management to meet the different demands of students. The insights from this research provide valuable guidance for educators and policymakers to enhance hybrid learning models, ensuring a comprehensive and efficient educational experience.
