Emergent Themes from a Study of a Highly Flexible Hybrid Learning Program
Mariana Castañón; Mary Rice; Traci Filiss
Online Learning, v27 n4 p220-243 2023
As educators increase their use of digital technologies across learning modalities, some schools are experimenting with highly flexible models of learning that maximize opportunities to support learner preferences. The perceptions of these programs by teachers, parents, and students are crucial for building and maintaining community support and securing funding for school practices that are innovative and educative. The purpose of this study was to understand the perceptions of teachers, parents, and students working in a school using hybrid learning with individualized schedules. Perceptions of the school emerged as a sense of shared responsibility and united advocacy for students. Advocacy centered on (1) making instruction accessible and (2) providing appropriate instructional support. While there was agreement across participant groups on these themes, teachers described additional workloads. Implications include the need to build a united purpose around students while also supporting teachers.
