Abstract
Online education at Korean universities is expanding and developing through COVID-19. One of the continued development directions of online education is the use of hybrid lectures. In hybrid lectures, learners can choose how they attend class. Learners can attend offline or online. This study aims to apply hybrid lectures to building construction education at Korean universities. That is, the purpose of this study is to analyze the current state of the educational environment at Korean universities and suggest ways to improve the educational environment. In order to apply hybrid lectures, a supportive educational environment is essential for successful hybrid lectures. In this study, the scope of the educational environment included educational infrastructure (facilities and equipment), teaching and learning support systems, and academic operation regulations. In order to analyze the educational environment of Korean universities, data on the educational environment of 30 Korean universities were collected. The universities being investigated were selected from among Korean universities in a balanced manner in terms of region, size, and founding entity. The data collection method included document analysis, on-site investigation, and interviews. The survey results showed that many universities are expanding their infrastructure year after year. Among the universities surveyed, only four universities were found to have added specific regulations related to hybrid lectures. It was analyzed that in order to apply hybrid lectures, Korean universities need to continuously improve their educational environment. This will allow Korean universities to more actively introduce hybrid lectures and improve the learning environment for students.
