Abstract

The rapid development of technology requires educational institutions to provide innovation in creating learning that supports education in the digital era. Blended learning is an alternative for institutions that still implement offline learning to integrate technology and become a solution to address the issue of prolonged learning durations so that students can learn actively and flexibly. This research is to lead a comprehensive systematic review related to the enactment of blended learning in providing flexibility in learning. The research method used is the Systematic Literature Review model PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis). The research article taken in this study are in the form of Sinta-accredited journal articles and Scopus-indexed international journals. The outcome of the research show that in implementing blended learning, universities need to consider the challenges and opportunities that exist and ensure the readiness of lecturers, students, and campus facilities so that learning activities with blended learning can run smoothly and achieve the expected goals.

Abstrak

Perkembangan teknologi yang hadir telah mendorong lembaga pendidikan untuk memberikan inovasi dalam menciptakan pembelajaran yang mendukung pendidikan di era digital. Blended learning menjadi alternatif bagi lembaga yang masih menerapkan pembelajaran tatap muka untuk mengintegrasikan teknologi dan menjadi solusi untuk mengatasi permasalahan durasi waktu pembelajaran agar mahasiswa dapat belajar secara aktif dan fleksibel. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji literatur secara sistematis terkait implementasi blended learning dalam memberikan fleksibilitas dalam belajar. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Systematic Literatur Review model PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis). Artikel yang diambil pada penelitian ini berupa artikel jurnal terakreditasi Sinta dan jurnal internasional terindeks Scopus. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa dalam mengimplementasikan blended learning, Pendidikan tinggi perlu mempertimbangkan tantangan serta peluang yang ada, serta memastikan kesiapan dosen, mahasiswa, serta fasilitas kampus agar kegiatan belajar dengan blended learning tersebut dapat belajar dengan lancar dan mencapai tujuan yang diharapkan.
