This study assesses the effectiveness of hybrid pedagogies, particularly blended and flipped learning, in digital learning environments. Hybrid pedagogy combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning, offering a flexible and personalized approach that enhances student engagement, academic performance, and satisfaction. Blended learning integrates digital tools with inclass instruction, catering to diverse learning needs and improving learning outcomes. Finding of the study shows that flipped learning reverses conventional teaching models by delivering content outside the classroom, reserving class time for active, collaborative learning. Moreover, flipped learning fosters critical thinking, deeper knowledge retention, and improved academic achievement. Both blended and flipped learning models are effective in digital environments, offering innovative ways to engage students and improve learning outcomes Both pedagogical models shift educators' roles from content deliverers to facilitators, requiring professional development and new instructional strategies. These approaches also promote 21st-century skills like digital literacy, collaboration, and problem-solving, preparing students for the challenges of an evolving digital world. These hybrid pedagogies provide a flexible, personalized, and interactive learning experience, making them valuable tools in modern education. Conclusion of the study reveals that hybrid pedagogies provide a dynamic, student-centred framework that supports effective learning in digital contexts. Their successful implementation depends on adequate technological infrastructure, educator training, and continuous refinement of teaching strategies. These methods are instrumental in shaping the future of education by enhancing learning flexibility, engagement, and skill development.
