Success and Failure of Hybrid Education in Moroccan Engineering Classes
Success and Failure of Hybrid Education in Moroccan Engineering Classes

Summary/Abstract: The pandemic has deeply forced educational systems across the world to change face-to-face education practices policies. It has also forced the online education systems practices among Moroccan higher education institutions. With the spread of the COVID-19 all over, the Moroccan education system circumstances did not allow face-to-face education neither did it allow online education as solutions. As a matter of fact, hybrid learning remained the best proposed alternative as suggested in literature. The present paper investigated higher education English learners’ attitudes towards hybrid education. After using a qualitative method, the findings suggested that Moroccan higher education learners showed that hybrid education did not support the majority of participants’ learning process. However, the hybrid learning was to an extent a successful process to a number of other participants. Unsatisfying quality of the internet remained an issue to be sorted out in the future among other issues. Laziness to attend the online morning classes was also an evidence why hybrid learning is the main challenge. The learners favoured face-to-face classroom-based instruction then blended learning regardless of the advantages of the latter. A great portion of the population favoured face-to-face rather onlinelearning. The learners also got confused using hybrid model. Last, it was evidence that the learners preferred face-to-face model as their best model to use in many cases.
