Blended and flipped learning are two important learning models that have

emerged in the educational landscape of the 21st century as a result of technological

advancements. Education has become significantly more effective, adaptable,

and individualized as a result of the incorporation of digital and online resources

with conventional teaching methods. Both models stand out for their ability

to increase student engagement, personalize the learning process, and redefine

the teacher’s role.

In a digitalized world, educators and pupils must always be able to access and

process information efficiently. Blended and reversed learning have been extraordinarily

effective at meeting these requirements. Students can now continue

learning not only in the classroom but also outside of it. This provides them with

greater flexibility and empowers them with the ability to adapt to the unique learning

speeds, preferences, and requirements of each student.

However, advances in technology are not the only reason for the emergence

of these models. The adoption of these approaches has been motivated by the

altering learning requirements of students, the demands of instructors to improve

student achievement, and the search for more effective teaching strategies by educational

institutions. In addition, a globalizing world necessitates the adoption of

innovative approaches in education to equip students with real-world skills and

prepare them for the future workforce. This study was chosen to demonstrate that this transformation in education is

not merely a passing trend, but a sustainable strategy that has the potential to

increase student success and engagement. The purpose is to provide educators,

students, parents, and policymakers with valuable insights.
