Abstract

Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4 and the Malaysian Education Blueprint, hybrid learning is seen as a delivery mode which provides equitable, high-quality, and globally relevant education. Although its use is growing, existing research shows mixed results regarding the implementation of hybrid learning, particularly within Malaysian universities. This gap highlights the need for a dedicated study in this area. This study unravels the perception of the lecturers regarding the implementation of hybrid learning in a private higher learning institution, a teaching approach that combines in-person instruction with online learning. The study uses a mixed methods design to collect both quantitative and qualitative data from the lecturers at a selected institution. Quantitative data will be gathered via online surveys and analyzed with SPSS, using descriptive statistics to identify the perceptions of the respondents related to hybrid learning. Qualitative data will be collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically to explore participants’ views in depth. Initial expectations suggest that hybrid learning could improve flexibility and accessibility, but it also may present challenges related to technology and communication. The study aims to provide practical insights into the use of hybrid learning in the context of a private higher learning institution, supporting policy development, instructional design, and future teaching strategies in the higher education context. The key findings of this study may provide pedagogical implications to the curriculum designers and the instructors of higher learning institutions in terms of improving the teaching and learning practices in a hybrid learning environment.
