This study examines the implementation and challenges of Blended Learning, highlighting its growing significance in modern education. Through a descriptive literature review, a total of 36 articles were analyzed, resulting in the identification of ten main research themes and fifty-two significant proposals and/or contributions. Findings reveal a concentration of studies in areas such as the factors and benefits of Blended Learning, skill development, and technological infrastructure. However, several pending challenges are also recognized, including the need for further studies on specific strategies, the exploration of perceptions regarding the use of digital platforms, and skill development. Teacher training, digital curriculum planning, and the development of technology-based strategies are identified as key factors for the success of Blended Learning. The research emphasizes the importance of continuing to explore these topics to enrich the understanding and effective application of Blended Learning in the educational field.
