Abstract

This study explores the evolution of blended learning practices in science education between 2019 and 2025 (post-covid-19), highlighting global trends. A systematic review based on the prisma statement was applied to choose publications indexed in Scopus by a bibliometric analysis performed with Vosviewer. The results suggest a change from purely technological approaches toward more human-centered applications, boosted by the covid-19 pandemic, as well as the dominance of medical and paramedical sciences after 2020. Co-occurrence maps show that the concept of blended learning is central but is expanding into health, medical training, and inclusive education. The discussion highlights the gaps between global trends and the reality in developing countries and the disciplinary differences between the natural sciences and the health sciences. It reveals complex dynamics in the evolution of blended learning, which warrant in-depth analysis at several levels: epistemological, technological, socio-educational, and geopolitical.
