To clarify further as I instruct both types of courses, students in the advanced EMS classes tend to do better in the classroom style as compared to the hybrid format. The hybrid must utilize many hours of laboratory/class instruction for the student to fully comprehend and display psychomotor skill competency. In the classroom style, all aspects of the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains can be presented together.
I will agree with you as it can be best described as stated by authors Russell L. Ackoff and Daniel Greenberg In their book, Turning Learning Right Side Up: Putting Education Back on Track:
'There are many different ways of learning; teaching is only one of them. We learn a great deal on our own, in independent study or play. We learn a great deal interacting with others informally -- sharing what we are learning with others and vice versa. We learn a great deal by doing, through trial and error. Long before there were schools as we know them, there was apprenticeship -- learning how to do something by trying it under the guidance of one who knows how. For example, one can learn more architecture by having to design and build one's own house than by taking any number of courses on the subject. When physicians are asked whether they leaned more in classes or during their internship, without exception they answer, "Internship." In the educational process, students should be offered a wide variety of ways to learn, among which they could choose or with which they could experiment. They do not have to learn different things the same way.'
