Exploring the Efficacy and Implementation of Blended Learning Models: A Comparative Analysis of Flipped Classroom, Station Rotation, and Flex Model Approaches

Abstract

Blended learning, an instructional approach combining face-to-face classroom instruction with online learning activities, has gained significant attention in educational research and practice. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of three prominent blended learning models- the Flipped Classroom, Station Rotation, and Flex Model approaches-based solely on secondary data sources. Through a systematic review and synthesis of existing literature, the research investigates the efficacy and implementation of each model in diverse educational contexts. By examining a wide range of empirical studies, meta-analyses, and theoretical frameworks, the study evaluates the impact of blended learning on student engagement, achievement, and satisfaction. Additionally, it identifies key factors influencing the successful implementation of blended learning models, including technological infrastructure, teacher training, and instructional design strategies. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the strengths and limitations of each model and provide practical insights for educators and policymakers seeking evidence-based approaches to integrate blended learning into their instructional practices. By leveraging existing research, this study offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of blended learning and its potential to enhance teaching and learning outcomes in the digital age.
