Influence of Hybrid Teaching Approach on Attitude and Success Concerning Electrostatics

Abstract

The study reported in this paper aims to determine the effects of a hybrid approach which is formed by incorporating different teaching methods, namely lecturing, open discussion, problem solving and demonstration, on student success and attitude towards physics. Total number of 80
undergraduate students participated to the research. Half of them are referred as Treatment Group to which the hybrid approach is employed and the rest of the students referred as Control Group to which the traditional teaching method is employed. To evaluate the outcomes of the study, an Electrostatics Test (ET) and an Attitude Scale towards Physics (ASP) are employed. The obtained data processed statistically and it has been clearly shown that a meaningful difference exits between the two groups on success, nevertheless no difference has been detected concerning the attitude.
