Hybrid Learning has been defined as an educational model where some students attend
class in-person, while others join the class virtually from home. Educators teach remote and in-
person students at the same time using tools like video conferencing hardware and software.
Schools have developed teaching techniques that differ from the traditional classroom setting as
is being employed, and many educational institutions are beginning to use hybrid learning
methods. Hybrid learning, on the other hand, entails more than just dumping half of your
curriculum into a virtual classroom. Instead, it's a method of integrating the finest aspects of
face-to-face and online learning to create the ultimate learning experience. Teachers serve as
facilitators by aiding students when needed, as well as educators by giving additional lessons in
accordance with the students' online courses. Hybrid learning, according to Halverson, Graham,
Spring, and Drysdale (2012), is "a broad and developing field of design and research that blends
In terms of lifelong learning incorporation and/or setting of learning, Qi and Tian (2011)
stated that hybrid learning has four properties, including (1) a mix of collective and individual
learning, (2) a mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning, (3) a mix of self-paced and
group-paced learning, and (4) a mix of formal and non-formal learning. According to Nguyen
(2011), hybrid learning is a mix of collective and individual learning brought about by the
collective intelligence of multi-agent systems in a collaborative setting that collaborates with the
learner, as well as the method, strategies, and channels used for processing and communicating
the instructions. Hybrid learning uses a unique time management approach to deliver

classroom and can be taught one-on-one or one-to-many, or (b) asynchronous learning, which is
an ideal platform for distance learning approaches (Wang, Fong, & Zhang,
2009). "Asynchronous online discussion was reportedly useful for encouraging in-depth, more
discussions where archiving is required; and allowing all students to respond to a topic according
(As cited on Johnson, 2005, p. 46). In terms of learning pace, hybrid learning allows for
self-paced learning through the use of rich media materials available on the internet, as well as
Chiozza, & Edin, 2002). Hybrid learning replaces the traditional start-to-finish approach to
education with the concept of lifelong learning, which can be pursued at any time over a person's
life span, but courses must be completed through the learning system.
Spencer, (2020) also introduced his five ways to structure hybrid learning. First is the
Differentiated Model, in this model, every student takes class at the same time, simultaneously.
You, on the other hand, provide differentiated activities for kids who are at home and in class.
Using both synchronous and asynchronous communication technologies for students at home
and in person works effectively. Second is the Multi-Track Model, this second approach
considers each group as though it were a separate cohort inside the broader class. While students
may be learning the same topics and working toward the same goals, they effectively function as
distinct classrooms. Students choose whether to take the virtual track (synchronous remote
learning), the online track (asynchronous remote learning), or the face-to-face track at the start of
TITLE: HYBRID LEARNING MODELS AND STRUCTURES AS PRECURSORS TO
THE MANAGEMENT OF KEY STAGE 3 TEACHING AND LEARNING IN A
SCHOOLS DIVISION
the course. The virtual and in-person lessons are run at the same time by the teacher. In the
meanwhile, students can access the online lessons whenever they choose. The third one is the
Split A.B Model, the last two models are most effective when half of the pupils must remain at
home at all times. This is true in degree courses with students who live far away, as well as
during the quarantine with families who do not want to send their children to a real classroom.
However, you may have all students opting in to face-to-face learning in some situations, but you
must maintain social distance. This is where the Split A/B model shines. While the fourth one is
the Virtual Accommodation Model, there are times when the teacher have a small group of
students who need to work remotely while the rest of the class learns in person. In these
circumstances, a virtual accommodation model is the ideal option. Teachers can deliver the same
lesson as usual, but with the addition of one student volunteering to utilize video chat and a
single computer to allow students to participate. During direct teaching, this individual can sit
close the teacher. You may still make a flipped video that students can see at home. And the last
one is the Independent Project Model, Occasionally, a teacher's in-person activity may not
correspond to what pupils can accomplish at home. It might be a maker project or a particular
lab. Teachers may be required to do an individual assignment in these rare instances. Students
can study the same standards and focus on the same learning objectives as their classmates, but
variety of innovative learning models in the field of education, particularly in learning systems
that have transformed traditional learning systems into modern learning systems based on
information and communication technology. One of these is computer media, which has led to
TITLE: HYBRID LEARNING MODELS AND STRUCTURES AS PRECURSORS TO
THE MANAGEMENT OF KEY STAGE 3 TEACHING AND LEARNING IN A
SCHOOLS DIVISION
the development of e-learning. Most educational institutions make extensive use of e-learning to
aid in the learning process (Heru Suhartanto, 2009). Many believe that e-learning should not be
used to replace the entire learning process, but rather to supplement it. Especially the system's
capacity to offer access to the learning process regardless of time or location. This is supported
by Lohr and Suhartanto's belief (Heru Suhartanto, 2009) that online studies can be superior than
traditional model studies in terms of improving students' abilities, particularly those from poor
schools. Interaction and communication in the classroom may be formed utilizing Edmodo
online learning media, just as they are in traditional classrooms, where each student can freely
speak and share with teachers and classmates to respond to the content provided (Putranti, 2013).
Home school organizers and participants will be able to increase the quality, efficiency,
and efficacy of their learning through online learning (Yudie Irawan, Nanik Susanti, 2015).
According to some of the findings of these research, online learning can aid in the learning
process and facilitate the sharing of learning resources. However, in fact, the average capacity to
use information and communication technology in mathematics learning is still weak, making it
difficult to engage with technology in both material search and processing activities. Some
teachers have attempted to improve curriculum and learning through the use of the internet,
although this is still limited and individual. As a result, there are gaps and an unequal distribution
of learning quality between pupils. Furthermore, the following are the shortcomings of using the
internet in education thus far: 1) lack of interaction between the teacher and students, or even
between students themselves; 2) tendency to ignore academic aspects; 3) learning process that
tends to lead to training; 4) changing role of the teacher; 5) students with low learning motivation
Given the aforementioned phenomena, maximizing the use of technology in the learning
process would undoubtedly aid students in better comprehending mathematical subject matter. It
is also capable of providing measures for pupils to prepare for the industrial age. Hybrid
Learning is a learning approach that develops and mixes face-to-face and online learning. Hybrid
learning is a teaching method that incorporates both face-to-face (F2F) and computer-mediated
training (R. Ferdig, 2012). As more instructors, like Tim, create online settings for their students,
hybrid learning approaches are becoming more popular. Although this approach is new, its
objective is similar to that of past educational innovations: "to assist instructors in doing what
they seek to do every day—deeply understand and allow each student they deal with to attain the
greatest levels of educational mastery" (A. Powell, B. Rabbitt, 2014). Hybrid learning, on the
other hand, has the potential to be a transformational experience in which new forms of
education encourage instructors to explore the best methods to educate pupils, according to
experts. Much of the power in hybrid learning comes from modification or manipulation of time,
space, and place (W. Ian O’Byrne & Kristine E. Pytash, 2015). Hybrid in learning can be
The concept of learning, at least has become an interesting study material and shows
better results compared to other methods. For example, the results of research conducted by
(Putri Milanda Bainamus & Abdullah, 2017) that there is a significant effect of hybrid learning
models on the mathematics communication of junior high school students. Meanwhile, research
(M. Asyrofi, 2016) states that the quality of Hybrid Learning based on constructivism in the
category is good, the mathematical representation ability of the experimental class students is

better than the control class. Furthermore, blended learning class learning results are better than
regular classrooms (Anwar Mutaqin, Indiana Marethi, 2016). In addition, students in blended
learning classrooms are more engaged in their work than students in traditional classes. Other
meta-cognitive abilities, creative thinking skills, and student cognitive learning outcomes
According to some of the findings of these research, hybrid learning is able to give
superior student learning outcomes since students may readily obtain learning material online
rather than searching for content without the guidance of a teacher. Hybrid learning does not just
happen; it takes careful evaluation of the learning objectives, the subject, and the selection and
determination of which activities are appropriate for traditional learning and which activities are
appropriate for online learning. Based on the background above, this article aims to describe
student activities during the implementation of hybrid learning in mathematics learning and find
out the results of student mathematics learning through the application of Hybrid Learning.
Key Stage 3 education (KS3) compromises of children of all abilities from the ages of
11-14 with in year groups 7 to 9. Schools have numerous duties, including lowering social
obstacles to inclusion and providing opportunity for all students, with the goal of everyone
reaching their full potential in learning and life. Schools must account for all needs and abilities
since mainstream education is an inclusive environment. Schools have a duty to enhance access
to the curriculum, make physical changes to encourage participation in education, and provide
information in suitable forms for students with disabilities. If there are substantial disparities in
TITLE: HYBRID LEARNING MODELS AND STRUCTURES AS PRECURSORS TO
THE MANAGEMENT OF KEY STAGE 3 TEACHING AND LEARNING IN A
SCHOOLS DIVISION
the learning requirements of the children enrolled in school, the school must modify the
students' various learning styles and meeting the learning objectives of a class. The preceding
table depicts the spectrum's variety of styles and examines the suitable teaching/learning style,
which would then be matched to a lesson's learning goals (outcomes) (Mosston & Ashworth,
2016). Style K - Teaching style was added to the spectrum in 2020 to allow students to take full
responsibility for their own learning and growth while focusing on independence (Mosston &
Ashworth, 2016).
summarizes the idea of inclusion by stating that it is concerned with any school's capacity to be
accessible and meet an individual's requirements, as well as providing good pupil management
methods. Cheminais (2013) builds on this concept by emphasizing the ongoing need to minimize
the number of children taught in segregated special education. As a result, planned staff
development programs must be implemented, which will extend and reach out to assist and lead
all mainstream schools. At the time, a monitoring system was put in place with the goal of
evaluating the broader effect of inclusive education as well as the achievement and growth of all
Gough (2019) examines inclusive practice in the classroom and the importance of a sense
of encouragement and equality among students in various educational contexts. This motivates
instructors to provide equal opportunity for all students of varying abilities to attain a sense of

THE MANAGEMENT OF KEY STAGE 3 TEACHING AND LEARNING IN A
SCHOOLS DIVISION
accomplishment and success. Gough (2019) expands on this idea by arguing that when a teacher
assigns different activities to special needs students, they should always be considered
individually, with each job being challenging and doable for them. It is critical for all students,
but especially for those with special needs, that their feeling of success is realistic while yet
The Centre for the Study of Inclusive Education (CSIE, 2016) extends Gough’s (2019)
ideas by defining inclusive education as a philosophy of education that promotes the education of
all pupils in mainstream schools. CSIE (2016) furthers this more by drawing the attention to the
studies of inclusive education articulated through the principles of philosophy. NASUWT (2015)
also emphasizes the significance of customized learning, which is gaining traction as a way to
address the problem of guaranteeing beneficial results for individuals while teaching in group
for all students has the equity and human rights that are required to reach all students.
Each student may express themselves as individuals and reach their full potential via
inclusive practice. "There is no such thing as a normal student," writes McHugh (2017, p.197).
The concept of a "normal student" emphasizes the idea that everyone is unique and should be
treated equally (McHugh, 2017). Teachers should provide students the freedom to express
There has been a lot of debate regarding inclusive education and its benefits and
drawbacks. However, there have been certain drawbacks to having inclusive schools. Evans and
Lunt (2014) address the perceived drawbacks of inclusive schools, focusing on the provision of a
specialized service for each individual with extra learning needs in a specialist school rather than

a mixed ability inclusive school. They argue that if students did not have access to a specialized
setting, they would not be able to get the most out of their educational experience. Evans & Lunt
(2014) expand on this issue by emphasizing the advantage that specialized instructors have in
environment. These comments provided by Evans and Lunt (2014) show both good and bad
strengthened as they get a better understanding of their unique learning requirements over time.
The phrase inclusive is frequently confused with other terms having similar meanings. It's
important to note that inclusion isn't the same as functional integration. Pickles (2014) discusses
the concept of functional integration and how it facilitates inclusion but does not accomplish it in
and of itself. Pickles (2014) then coined the phrase "integration." Pickles (2014) thinks that
integration entails non-disabled individuals doing something to handicapped people. The term
'integration' was formerly used to indicate something distinct, but as time has passed and
understandings have broadened, the phrases 'inclusion' and 'inclusive education' have come to
Theoretical Framework
Managerial leadership assumes that the focus of leaders ought to be on functions, tasks
and behaviors and that if these functions are carried out competently the work of others in the
organization will be facilitated. Most approaches to managerial leadership also assume that the
behavior of organizational members is largely rational. Authority and influence are allocated to
formal positions in proportion to the status of those positions in the organizational hierarchy.
It is significant to note that this type of leadership does not include the concept of vision,
existing activities successfully rather than visioning a better future for the school. This approach
is very suitable for school leaders working in centralised systems as it prioritises the efficient
implementation of external imperatives, notably those prescribed by higher levels within the
bureaucratic hierarchy.
Bureaucracy, and by implication managerial leadership, is the preferred model for many
education systems, including Apartheid South Africa (Sebakwane, 1997). One example of
managerial leadership is ‘scientific management’ (Taylor, 1911). This dated model still
‘predominates in the writing on education management in South Africa’ (McLennan & Thurlow,
2003:7-9). In a review of other literature, they say that this approach is associated with
‘authoritarian, hierarchical and inaccessible management styles’ and that the principal’s authority
TITLE: HYBRID LEARNING MODELS AND STRUCTURES AS PRECURSORS TO

SCHOOLS DIVISION
is perceived to be ‘god-given’ and ‘juridical’. This model can be regarded as the starting point
for the study and practice of educational management, in South Africa, Europe, and North
America.
Despite its association with the previous dispensation, managerial leadership remains
important for 21st century. Achieving functional schools is an essential requirement if learning is
to take place. Effectiveness requires calm and orderly schools and classrooms. Managerial
leadership has certain advantages, notably for bureaucratic systems, but there are difficulties in
applying it too enthusiastically to schools and colleges because of the professional role of
teachers. If principals and educators do not ‘own’ innovations but are simply required to
implement externally imposed changes, they are likely to do so without enthusiasm, leading to
