Conceptual framework proposal based on a new taxonomy for Blended Learning: an approach to enhance and modernize education

Blended Learning, which gained prominence, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasized improving student learning, autonomy, and engagement. This research has a qualitative nature, based on a Systematic Literature Review, as a result of questioning the contribution of Hybrid Learning to student autonomy and engagement. Grouping and identification of five types of hybrid learning were carried out. Next, a taxonomic categorization was proposed for each blended learning cluster. The objective of this work was to propose five conceptual frameworks for Hybrid Learning to contribute to the work of teachers in applying them since teachers are fundamental in evaluating the educational tools available and choosing the correct hybrid teaching approach. This study aims to support future research on the implementation of hybrid teaching in Brazil.
