        abstract = {Teachers are paying more and more attention to blended learning in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to assess the impact of different blended learning models and technology utilization on student academic performance in higher education. This article synthesizes findings from existing studies to evaluate the combined effects of blended learning models and technology utilization on student academic performance with the help of dependent variables (Academic Performance) and independent variables (Blended Learning Model Type, Technology Utilized). The study identifies key trends, benefits, challenges, and best practices associated with blended learning environments by analyzing secondary data from various research papers. The sample size includes 15 studies selected through purposive sampling. The ANOVA results indicate no significant difference in student academic performance based on blended learning model types alone. However, there is a significant difference based on the technology utilized. Additionally, no significant combined effect of blended learning model types and technology used on academic performance exists. Future research should address the study's limitations and explore the long-term and broader impacts of blended learning in diverse educational settings, providing valuable insights and practical recommendations for educators and institutions.},
