Relationship Between Course Effectiveness, Satisfaction, Access and Academic Self – efficacy in the HyFlex Mode of Instruction in Pakistani Classroom

الملخص

Considering the transition of education activities from traditional classroom to online due to covid-19, Pakistan has witnessed a new social inequality – Digital Divide.  To fight this inequality among masses in the country this research proposes a new way of instructional design i.e., HyFlex. Access to education in general is problematic in Pakistan. Hyflex proposes easy access to education for Pakistani students through improved methods of delivery. HyFlex is a short form for Hybrid Flexible (HyFlex) Classroom. Hyflex is an instructional technology that erased the boundaries between distance learning and physical classroom. It gives students to choose method of attending lectures according to their flexibility. Because of the growing digital divide in Pakistan, not every student has access to internet /electricity/digital devices etc. Hence, this instructional technology can help students and teachers to attend classes according to their flexible time and needs. This research aims to measure through HyFlex accessibility of the course, level of achieved learning outcomes, student motivation and availability of hardware technology (Smart classroom). A survey was conducted from the Pakistani university students’ majority of them were computer science students. The results were run on AMOSS SPS. The results show that academic self-efficacy is achieved among students through course satisfaction and course effectiveness.
