Blended learning, integrating traditional face-to-face instruction with online activities, is a versatile educational approach promoting enriched learning experiences. This paper explores the theoretical underpinnings, models, implementation strategies, and future directions of blended learning. The constructivist and socio-cultural perspectives highlight active engagement and collaborative learning, essential in blended environments. Cognitive Load Theory and Multimedia Learning Principles guide effective design and delivery of digital content. Various models like the flipped classroom, rotation, and flex models offer flexibility and personalization. Strategies such as robust technology infrastructure, professional development, and fostering learner autonomy are vital for successful implementation. Challenges include equitable access and ensuring effective assessment and feedback mechanisms. Future directions involve adaptive learning technologies, personalized pathways, data analytics, and integration of emerging technologies like AI and AR/VR. Blended learning enhances student engagement, fosters collaboration, and prepares learners with 21st-century skills, making it indispensable in modern education
