THE IMPACT OF BLENDED LEARNING ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Blended learning, which integrates traditional face-to-face instruction with online educational resources, has emerged as a transformative approach in modern education. This study examines the impact of blended learning on students' academic performance across various educational levels. Through the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data from multiple institutions, the research highlights improvements in student engagement, self-directed learning, and academic outcomes. The findings suggest that when effectively implemented, blended learning fosters a more personalized and flexible learning environment, which contributes to higher achievement levels compared to conventional teaching methods. However, the success of this approach depends on factors such as instructional design, digital literacy, and access to technology. The study concludes with recommendations for educators and policymakers to optimize blended learning strategies for enhanced academic performance.
