Abstract

Blended learning merges traditional face-to-face instruction with online educational tools to create a flexible and effective learning environment. This pedagogical approach leverages the strengths of both in-person and digital learning, aiming to enhance student engagement, improve learning outcomes, and reduce attrition rates. Definitions from various educational authorities highlight the broad scope of blended learning, encompassing a range of methods and technologies tailored to diverse student needs. Research indicates that blended learning can effectively support student achievement and satisfaction by providing opportunities for interactive, personalized learning experiences. The integration of online resources with classroom activities allows for greater flexibility, improved access to expertise, and enhanced interaction among students and educators. This abstract summarizes the key aspects of blended learning, its benefits, and its effectiveness based on recent studies.
