Reading Engagement Strategies in Blended Learning Context

Abstract

Blended learning has increasingly become a key educational practice, integrating online digital media with traditional classroom methods to offer flexible and active learning environments. This study explores the effectiveness of various reading engagement strategies within a blended learning framework, emphasizing teachers' perceptions and experiences. Through a qualitative, phenomenological approach, the research examines how different strategies—ranging from gamified quizzes to multimedia tools—affect reading engagement. Key findings indicate that teacher-student interactions, feedback mechanisms, and the use of technology play crucial roles in enhancing reading motivation and comprehension. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing fact-based recommendations for instructional strategies that effectively support diverse learner needs in blended learning settings.
