Abstract:
Technology enhancements introduce novel learning modes by replacing traditional face-to-face
learning. Blended learning (BL) has emerged as the new normal, combining face-to-face instructions and
online elements. Successful BL requires a high self-regulation capability among the learners. Technology can
enhance these Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) capabilities. This paper reviews 66 papers published in the
Scopus, IEEE Xplore, Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases between 2016 and 2024 (till March)
using the PRISMA model. As per the review, self-reported data using a questionnaire is the most used
mechanism to collect data on users and most of the studies used university undergraduates as a learner group.
Very few researchers work collaboratively, though enhancement of the collaborative work will bring better
outcomes. In general, SRL positively impacts learning outcomes in the BL context. Cognitive, metacognitive,
motivational, and resource management strategies enhance learning, and emotional engagement is enhanced
by the user interface of learning platforms. However, some strategies do not have an impact on the BL
environment. This study suggests the importance of understanding the long-term impact of SRL and how
different strategies impact the learning outcomes and their subsequent performance. Also, it is necessary to
apply the different SRL strategies to different contexts to generalize the findings.
