Abstract

This study looks into the variables affecting blended learning from the viewpoint of the learners. A number of possible advantages of blended learning, which combines online and conventional classroom education, including enhanced student engagement, support for a variety of learning styles, and more freedom in terms of accessing resources and finishing work. These benefits improve pupils' autonomy, self-control, and time management. However, a number of important variables, including the caliber of the online materials, the degree of student-teacher and peer engagement, and the students' technological aptitude, affect how successful blended learning is. This study uses questionnaires that are given to students enrolled in different professional programs at DAVV, Indore, using a descriptive research methodology. A sample size of 466 people was chosen via purposive sampling. The study is divided into two stages: factor analysis is used in the second phase to determine the major components influencing the blended learning experience, and reliability testing is done in the first phase. The purpose of the research is to offer guidance on how to best optimize blended learning settings in order to improve student happiness and educational outcomes.The most important implication of this research is that policy and decision makers in business educational schools are requested to consider factors that had a significant effect on the adoption of blended learning. In doing that, the research contributes to the blended learning knowledge via highlighting the key variables that encourage or hinder the adoption of blended learning strategy.
