| Abstract | This research aims to investigate the influence of blended learning pedagogy on academic achievement of those working students who take academic work simultaneously in the higher levels of education in Pakistan. Using quantitative descriptive research design, data were gathered from 100 working students using structured Likert-scale questionnaire to measure flexibility, engagement, satisfaction, time management, challenges and academic performance. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression have been used. Results show that blended learning is highly beneficial to academic performance and the flexibility was found to be an important predictor, followed by student's overall satisfaction. Engagement and time-management showed positive but smaller effects and technological and environmental challenges had a negative impact on academic results. The results are consistent with the Community of Inquiry Framework and Walberg's Theory of Academic Achievement and confirm that learning presence, instructional quality, and environmental factors play a role in student success. This study concludes that blended learning is a feasible, inclusive and effective approach for the working students of Pakistan, it is the institutions should strengthen the digital infrastructure, improve teacher training and increase digital readiness of the students. |
