Abstract

The present study investigates the combined effect of hybrid learning models and students’ intrinsic motivation on academic achievement at the university level in Province Punjab, addressing a notable gap in existing research. The data collected were analyzed using linear regression in SPSS, allowing for an exploration of the relationships between Impact of Hybrid Learning on Students' Learning and Intrinsic Motivation Impact on Student's Academic Learning. The analysis revealed that Impact of Hybrid Learning on Students' Learning positively influences student Motivation Impact on Student's Academic Learning. Results indicate that (1) perceived quality of hybrid learning (accessibility, instructional design, and teacher presence) positively predicts academic achievement, (2) intrinsic motivation is a strong independent predictor of GPA, and (3) intrinsic motivation partially mediates the relationship between hybrid-learning quality and achievement, suggesting that well-designed hybrid environments foster internal motivation which in turn improves performance. These findings, highlighting flexible access, timely feedback, and autonomy-supportive pedagogy as key drivers. The study concludes with recommendations for policy and practice: universities should invest in faculty training on blended pedagogy, design hybrid courses that promote autonomy and competence, and implement formative feedback systems to strengthen intrinsic motivation and learning outcomes.
