Perceptions of University Teachers and Students on Hybrid Teaching in Morocco

Abstract

This research aims to examine the perceptions of university students and teachers about hybrid teaching in higher education level in Morocco after the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the challenges that both parties face when providing or following this type of teaching. The research methodology is based on a qualitative and quantitative study. This will give us an overview on hybrid teaching in Morocco. A questionnaire was addressed online to teachers and students from various disciplines and different Moroccan universities. Following this, we were able to collect 439 responses. The data were processed using simple statistical analysis. The results of this study show that hybrid teaching is becoming, after the pandemic, increasingly popular in Moroccan higher education and highly appreciated by teachers and students. However, some students have difficulties to follow it. As a result, it can be said that this mode of teaching may provide a future solution to the problem of overcrowding in Moroccan open-access universities.
