Abstract :The goal of this research is to analyze the content of blended learning studies that were published between 2019 and 2021. In this regard, this study investigated 50 studies by using different parameters. This research is divided into two parts in this context. One is to look at how research has progressed and what challenges linked to blending learning have been investigated. Second, this study aims to raise awareness that blended learning is still a hot issue among scholars, particularly in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak. Previous study clearly reveals that certain studies have looked into the impact of blended learning on students' perception and motivation (Ortega-Morána, Pagadora, Maestre-Antequeraa, Arcob, Monteirob, & Sánchez-Margalloa, 2020; Moura, Souza, & Viana, 2021). In light of these findings, this study concludes that blended learning is a critical component of educational activities, particularly when the years between 2019 and 2021 are considered pandemic years.
