Abstract
This paper aims to meticulously analyze and synthesize with 3 objectives the existing body of literature on blended learning management, using empirical data from the Scopus database during 2020 to July 2024. The study employs bibliometric methods, including author collaboration clustering analysis, keyword co-occurrence clustering, and impact factor analysis, to uncover patterns, trends, and emergent themes within blended learning. By leveraging tools like “VOS viewer” and “Microsoft Excel” to examine trends and patterns. The study’s findings, based on a systematic review of articles from the Scopus database, indicate a growing interest in technology integration, student engagement, and tailored pedagogical strategies within blended learning environments. Despite an increasing number of publications and a notable presence in high-impact journals, gaps in research were identified, particularly the need for longitudinal studies and exploration of culturally diverse applications. The analysis suggests that future research should focus on the long-term effects of blended learning and the integration of emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence to enhance educational experiences.
