Abstract

Schools are often confronted with the complexities of change when implementing hybrid learning. Extant change theories provide a multitude of strategies to deal with change. As many of these strategies approach change in different ways, they often portray conflicting or opposing views. For schools to institutionalize hybrid learning, they require a unified view. This paper presents such a unified view of change and shows the development of a context-based change meta-model towards enabling schools to change to hybrid learning.

The change constructs making up extant change strategies were analysed to determine their scope and the way in which they are structured.

In combining a theoretical and real-life perspective, different modes of analysis and methodologies were applied to develop the change metamodel. This included a theoretical analysis of change constructs and their underlying structures as evident in extant literature; analyzing a real-life case; and integrating the theoretical view and the real-life view to mold the change metamodel.
