The demand for diversified instructional strategies remains a fundamental rationale towards the use of blended learning models. This is a growing area within the education sector that has integrated face to face interventions with the online strategies. The goal is to create a transformative educational approach that utilizes modern day technologies to meet desired learning outcomes. The scope of this research is to evaluate the impact of blended learning models as a route towards enhanced critical thinking and problem-solving abilities among the students. The evaluation will entail the use of contemporary educational frameworks as well as pedagogical theories. The key areas of interest include the use personalized instructions, and increased student engagement. The notable findings from this research include increased student autonomy, continuous feedback mechanisms, and the use of multimodal content delivery techniques. Also, an important insight learnt from the findings pertains to the need for thorough examination of the opportunities such as enhanced technological infrastructure as well as proper alignment between the process and the outcomes. Thus, this research will have significant input towards the implementation of blended learning models as an alternative to leverage optimal educational goals. This includes the awareness of the importance of this approach towards enriched student experience and engagement at the classroom level.
