Undergoing Science Experiment in Hybrid Learning

Abstract

Mastering in science concepts involves theoretical understanding and experimental scientific investigation. Students who do not master science process skills in science experiments comprehensively cannot solve problems related to the inquiry-discovery approach. Through hybrid learning, science experiments can also be conducted effectively. Hybrid learning is one cohesive learning experience that combines face-to-face and online mode learning. This concept paper identifies the positive impacts of the implementation of a science experiment in hybrid learning based on literature review. After the comprehensive review were made, findings show that through hybrid learning, hands-on science experiments can be performed at home with everyday materials and online support. Furthermore, undergoing hands-on science experiments in hybrid learning produces students who can identify, apply, and incorporate science concepts. In conclusion, hybrid learning becomes an alternative pedagogical method that follows the current needs towards increasing students' interest in exploring science phenomena. Empirical research regarding this topic can be conducted further about the effectiveness of undergoing science experiment by using hybrid learning practice.
