ADVANTAGES AND CHALLENGES OF IMPLEMENTING BLENDED LEARNING IN PRESCHOOL AND PRIMARY EDUCATION

Abstract

This article explores the advantages and challenges associated with implementing blended learning in preschool and primary education. Blended learning, which combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online and digital learning components, offers benefits such as increased flexibility, individualized learning, and access to diverse educational resources. However, its implementation also presents challenges, including technological limitations, teacher preparedness, student engagement, and the need for parental support. The study highlights strategies for overcoming these challenges and emphasizes the importance of professional development, infrastructural support, and pedagogical innovation for successful adoption in early education contexts.
