EFFECTIVENESS OF DISTANCE AND HYBRID LEARNING IN TEACHING GENETICS
Keywords:
Genetics education, distance learning, hybrid learning, blended learning, digital education, teaching effectiveness, student engagement, medical education.Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of distance and hybrid learning methods in teaching Genetics. Genetics is a complex discipline in medical and biological education that requires both theoretical understanding and practical application. The increasing use of digital technologies in education has led to the integration of online and blended learning approaches.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of distance and hybrid learning in improving student understanding, engagement, motivation, and interaction in Genetics education. The research is based on literature analysis and pedagogical comparison of both teaching methods.
The results indicate that distance learning provides flexibility and easy access to learning materials but has limitations in interaction and real-time feedback. In contrast, hybrid learning demonstrates higher effectiveness by combining face-to-face instruction with online learning tools. It improves student motivation, engagement, and understanding of complex genetic concepts. The study concludes that hybrid learning is a more effective approach than fully distance learning for teaching Genetics, especially in science-based education.
