Abstract:
The significance of implementing sustainable blended learning strategies that guarantee both academic quality and long-term efficacy has been highlighted by the rapid digital transformation in higher education. Especially in business education where flexibility accessibility and engagement are crucial, blended learning which combines in-person and virtual learning has emerged as a key approach in graduate programs. However careful pedagogical design, significant assessment and feedback mechanisms and strong student support services are just as important to blended learnings efficacy as technology adoption. Student engagement is equally significant since it shows how invested students are in their academic path on a cognitive emotional social and behavioral level. Gaining insight into how student engagement and sustainable blended learning practices interact can help improve graduate education and accomplish institutional objectives. The study utilized descriptive design since it enabled the researcher to thoroughly examine current blended learning practices and student engagement in the graduate business program. A survey questionnaire was the main data collection tool because it is a dependable and effective method for gathering information from a sizable number of graduate students in a short amount of time. The required sample size was computed using the Raosoft sample size calculator based on the 131-person total population. The survey yielded 98 business graduate student respondents. The study revealed that respondents generally agreed that sustainable blended learning strategies are successful when used properly in graduate programs. The students’ engagement fosters cognitive emotional social and behavioral engagement. A number of student engagement metrics are positively and significantly correlated with sustainable blended learning practices. A plan of action was proposed to improve the graduate programs blended learning practices and student engagement in the graduate business program. The study emphasizes the importance of sustainability in making sure that blended learning models are resilient and flexible enough to meet evolving educational needs. This improves the overall graduate education and equips students to succeed in fast-paced work environments.
