Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid learning (Spada) for students at Muhammadiyah University of Makassar from the student's perspective. A quantitative approach is used with online surveys to assess student experience, effectiveness, engagement, benefits, challenges, quality of teaching, and satisfaction. Data analysis includes descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression. Results show students' positive views of hybrid learning, with a significant correlation between interaction collaboration, and effectiveness. However, experience, benefits and challenges, teaching quality, and satisfaction did not show a significant influence. This research provides important insights into the effectiveness of hybrid learning in Indonesia, helping educators and institutions design more effective and student-centered learning environments. Hybrid learning that combines face-to-face and online methods offers learning flexibility. Interaction and collaboration are key factors in increasing effectiveness, highlighting the importance of technology that supports communication and collaboration. Challenges such as technical issues and lack of engagement must be overcome for an optimal learning experience. Suggestions for further research include exploring other factors such as technical support, curriculum adaptation, and innovative strategies. Longitudinal research and a combination of quantitative-qualitative methods can provide more comprehensive insights. Comparisons across institutions and disciplines are also recommended to identify specific needs.
