Summary of Authors Main Points
The study is looking to compare the approach and avoidance factors motivating students to study
in different learning environments in person, online learning, and hybrid learning. Due to Covid-
19, many schools were forced to go from brick and mortar to online learning and then to hybrid learning, so the study was due to determine students' motivation for both learning environments. The study used 33 students from two private universities in Indonesia and were given online interviews with zoom to identify what motivates them. The students had to meet certain criteria to be a part of the study: enrolled in undergraduate or postgraduate studies, studied fully online during the COVID-19 pandemic and able to recognize the three learning methods (Istijanto, 2022). The students were asked their preferred learning method, then what positive factors motivated them, then asked identified the negative factors of the learning methods that they avoided (Istijanto, 2022). Post covid, there were 4 positive factors that motivate students to study
using face to face learning: learning effectiveness, social interaction with teachers and peers, living on campus and physical well-being. The 5 positive factors for students to learn online were: the effectiveness of online learning: flexibility offered by online learning, learning modern technology, efficiency gained for students, students can engage during online learning. It was concluded that hybrid learning solved most avoidance factors in face-to-face and online learning.
Personal Response
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit the schools of the United States, teachers and students were unsure of what was to come next for our learners. Staying in a classroom and working with a teacher, students get more involved while online learning is less demanding, so many online learners fail before starting (Mayer, 2020). Moving from teaching face to face to being online

everyday was a struggle for teachers to learn modern technology quickly to accommodate the needs of the students and making a schedule to add in specials and google meets was challenging
for all staff. Students were faced with learning online and having to be completely independent to show up for their google meeting, learning, and doing alone without being able to have that face-to-face learning that some students need. Then when we could come back into the school building, teachers were faced with doing every other day online. This was trying for teachers as they had to prepare lessons online and in person. The students struggled to remember what day they were online and when things were due. Attendance was a huge issue with students when they were learning online as many parents were not home to supervise if they were in their learning environment on the computer. Scriptural Integration
In Philippians 4:13 (English Standard Version), I can do all things through him who strengthens me. This is the bible verses I read every day during covid while teaching online. I knew if my God was with me, I was able to learn technology and be able to effectively instruct my students in a way they will understand.
