“…It also offers flexibility, rich content, and improved cost-effectiveness [ 10 , 11 ]. In actual online teaching studies, it has been found that it requires higher levels of basic computer skills, self-control, human-computer interaction, and motivation to learn compared to classroom learning [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Student-teacher and student-student interactions contribute more to instructional effectiveness than student-content interactions [ 16 ].…”

During the COVID-19 epidemic, many countries faced a critical situation in terms of the global economy and human social activities, including education. In China, the coronavirus is better controlled. Chinese university students have returned to school to study. Despite previous research on online education and learning, the readiness of students for the online and offline learning models implemented at this particular time is not well understood. This paper discusses a hybrid education model for undergraduate students in the safety engineering major. Questionnaires are administered to faculty and students from different colleges and universities in the same major to statistically summarize the influencing factors of mixed or hybrid education. The system dynamics (SD) model is constructed and simulated to determine that using online in the tenth to fifteenth, twenty-fifth to thirtieth, and fortieth to forty-fifth min of classroom teaching (50 min in total) can effectively increase students’ interest and engagement in learning. More hands-on activities should also be considered to enhance students’ motivation to acquire knowledge, and consideration could be given to encourage interaction among students. This study will be continuously improved by a follow-up study of undergraduate student performance. This study has important implications for educators implementing online and offline blended instruction.

“…The application of blended learning has a positive impact in the form of increasing student learning outcomes . In contrast to what was stated that blended learning during the COVID-19 pandemic was less significant in improving student learning outcomes (Finlay et al, 2022). Research results which state that blended learning is effective in supporting learning during the covid-19 pandemic (Suwannaphisit et al, 2021;Wibawa, 2017).…”

Advances in science and technology that move so fast provide very significant changes to human life, especially in the field of education and learning. This study aims to design and develop a combination of Android-based learning media that can be used on communication devices such as smartphones in the hope of increasing students' understanding of computer maintenance. The type of research used is research and development (R&D) using a 4D model, namely define, design, development and dissemination which produces android-based learning media products. The instrument used in this study was in the form of a questionnaire distributed to lecturers and students as well as experts to test the feasibility. based on the analysis, it was found that the feasibility test for this android-based learning media was 82.83%, with a valid interpretation of the level of validity of the use. The results of the overall practicality assessment from the practicality test were obtained at 86.34%, so that the practicality level could be interpreted as very practical to use. The results of the overall assessment of the effectiveness test for the effectiveness assessment are 100% so that it can be interpreted as being very effectively used. Thus, this learning media is valid to use, very practical to use and very effectively used in computer maintenance lectures.

“…Conducted theoretical research and practice in the development of curricula for lyceums and upper secondary schools. Planning and developing aspects of the organization of the learning process involves the need for autonomy and freedom as well as the possibility of joint activities of different actors responsible for the level of students' ability to master learning material and their professional orientation in the future (Finlay, Tinnion & Simpson, 2022).…”
