COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF conventional AND BLENDED LEARNING METHODS IN PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION

Abstract

In the modern education system, improving and updating teaching methods is one of the key tasks. In this context, studying the effectiveness and characteristics of conventional and blended learning methods has become a relevant issue. In the context of the digital transformation of the educational process, the implementation of blended learning methods is considered the only way to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of learning.The main research purpose is to analyze the impact of traditional and blended learning methods on students' academic performance, motivation, and independent learning skills. To achieve this purpose, the task was set to systematically compare the advantages and disadvantages of teaching methods to determine their role in the educational process. During the study, an analysis of scientific publications from 2019 to 2024 was conducted, and qualitative and quantitative content analysis methods, as well as systematic and contextual analysis and analytical grouping methods, were applied. Additionally, a survey was conducted among university students, and based on the collected data, the effectiveness of teaching methods was assessed. The obtained results showed that blended learning methods allow for a more flexible and personalized organization of the educational process. This method enhances the interactivity of learning and helps students develop independent knowledge acquisition skills. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the obtained results in pedagogical practice to improve the quality of education.
