Students' Perceptions in Hybrid Methods of Teaching and Assessment in Computer Literacy Courses
Online Submission, Journal of Computer Education v1 n1 p17-28 Jun 2022
Everyday, technology in our life changes quickly. Every development made by humans in the field of technology affects the way of our life, and education is not an exception. We now have a variety of learning methods in addition to conventional, in-person instruction. This research was carried out in the "Computer for Low" (ITEC190) and " computer introductory" (ITEC115) courses of Eastern Mediterranean University in the 2019-2020 Spring semester. In these courses, hybrid learning was applied and students' perceptions of the effectiveness of this method was investigated. The results showed that the students had positive opinions about this method in the classrooms with hybrid learning. Furthermore, students' perceptions on the learning environment can be defined favorably. Learners could only physically join courses for 4 weeks because of the COVID-19 outbreak. The remaining classes has been taken online. Some learners said they experienced loneliness as a result. Moreover, there is a statistically significant difference in the participants' perceptions by gender. However, the findings showed that there was no significant difference in the perceptions of the participants depending on how many hybrid courses they had taken before.
