How to support cooperation in hybrid learning?

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine university students' view on the cooperation in hybrid learning and to find out the factors that influenced cooperation the most. The analysis revealed four main categories: communication, individuality, competences and cooperation settings. When talking about the importance of communication in cooperation, the learners emphasized the selection of communication channel and the importance of social interaction. In the category of individuality, two themes emerged: individual and group characteristics. Among the competencies, learners highlighted the pedagogical competence of the teacher and the students' self-regulation skills. The tools and environment was considered important when setting up cooperation. The results of the survey revealed that learners in the form of distance learning, learners with a higher level of digital competence and learners in study groups with a stronger team sense are more positive about cooperation in hybrid learning.
