Abstract
Computer supported instruction can easily facilitate different learning environments, different teaching models and learning styles. In hybrid learning environment, the teachers face a big challenge to find the suitable teaching strategies for a specific content. In this study, three experiments were conducted to explore the different math teaching strategies for different contents and different characteristics of the students in hybrid learning environment. The results indicated that traditional teaching was more suitable for the algebra related topics. Computer supported hybrid teaching was more effective for the graph related topics. Towards different students’ characteristics, medium and low performance students benefited more from the computer supported hybrid teaching. The traditional teaching was more suitable for the high performance students. The student-centered hybrid learning requested significant more teaching hours to facilitate effective learning results.
