BLENDED LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION MODELS TRENDS AND RESEARCH FINDINGS

Abstract

This paper offers a reinterpreted overview of national academic studies focused on the use and effectiveness of blended learning technologies in higher education. Applying systematic review methods such as selection criteria, thematic grouping, and comparative evaluation, the study explores how blended learning is incorporated into university teaching practices. Special emphasis is placed on instructional design, digital environments, student participation, and competency-based outcomes. The findings indicate that, when carefully designed, blended learning enhances learner independence, improves academic achievement, and supports the development of digital and modern professional competencies
