Abstract:

Hybrid education is a concept which overcomes traditional borders and dissolves dichotomies of typical learning concepts while connecting physical and digital learning rooms, analog and digital learning materials, online and offline work, individual and collective experiences, as well as learning and teaching activities of the students. The MathEdu Digital- teaching concept, developed at the University of Education Schwäbisch Gmünd/Germany, can be easyly used to implement hybrid education. The fruitfulness of this implementation is shown on the example „concept of function in maths teacher education“. As a result, hybrid education offers new and advanced oportunities, is flexible and opens doors for deeper and low-threshold participation and free discussions, allows to include physical activities into digital learning environments and therefore to implement more relevant and important contents. It can create interdependencies and, as an outcome, can lead to more students´ activities and to more comprehensive experiences, and it allows almost unlimited attendances and the students to chose their own way of learning.
