Abstract: This study investigates the comparative impact of hybrid and face-to-face learning approaches on college student engagement and learning outcomes. Utilizing a quantitative survey conducted among 200 BSIT students, the research examines demographic information, learning preferences, engagement levels, technological challenges, and overall learning outcomes. The findings reveal that most respondents prefer the hybrid learning approach due to its flexibility, while face-to-face learners emphasize superior content understanding and instructor support. Engagement levels indicate higher interaction among face-to-face learners despite hybrid learners’ significant technological challenges. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that face-to-face learners achieve better learning outcomes, as evidenced by their enhanced understanding of course content and assessment performance. These insights inform educators and policymakers on optimizing learning environments to enhance student engagement and academic success.
