Hybrid Learning: Strategies to Attract Student Learning Interests and Outcomes on Post Pandemic

The hybrid learning model, also called "mixed learning," is a way to move towards an efficient new normal. Hybrid learning includes both in-person and online meetings that are planned ahead of time so that learning goals can be communicated directly during face-to-face learning. So, the goal of this study was to look at how the hybrid learning model could be used as a way to get post-pandemic students interested in learning and improve their understanding when using full distance learning mode. This was a descriptive, qualitative study that used an open-ended survey method with a Google Form questionnaire that was sent out online through a WhatsApp social media group. There were 126 students from the 11th grade at a state senior high school in Denpasar who took part. The results showed that when the mixed learning method was used to get students interested in learning Indonesian, math, and religion, and when it was used in the learning process in class, the average learning outcomes changed for the better. This is because of a new way of learning called "hybrid learning," which makes it easier for students to catch up if they miss class for some reason. The distance to school saves a lot of time because they don't have to go every day. This can make students more interested in learning.

Lessons Learned from a Mixed-Method Pilot of a Norms-Shifting Social Media Intervention to Reduce Teacher-Perpetrated School-Related Gender-Based Violence in Uganda

Background: Violence against children (VAC) is a global epidemic rooted in gender norms. One of the most common forms of VAC is school-related gender-based violence (SRGBV). Research has shown the promise of social media to shift norms underlying abusive behaviors, but, to-date, no studies have reported on social media norms-shifting interventions to prevent SRGBV by teachers. This study describes lessons learned from a pilot social-media intervention to shift social norms among Ugandan teachers to promote gender equity and reduce SRGBV. Methods: We extracted information on group size, posts, engagements, and teachers’ comments from intervention Facebook and WhatsApp social media groups and conducted mixed-methods data analysis. The study and program team met weekly to review findings and adjust the approach. Results: We found many teachers voiced social norms and attitudes upholding SRGBV in online groups, highlighting the need for intervention. Social media groups were largely acceptable to teachers, reached many teachers throughout Uganda, and often promoted active discussion. The program team carefully monitored online engagement, identified needed shifts, and performed mid-course adjustments in response to emerging challenges. Lessons learned included focusing on positive norms instead of harmful norms, engaging peer-influencers to shift norms, and including educational resources to inform behavior change. Conclusions: This study offers learnings on application of social and behavior-change communication and social norms principles to future online violence prevention initiatives.
