In the 21st century, with the rapid development of science and technology, approaches to pedagogy have changed significantly. New teaching methods such as distance learning (DL), online learning (OL) and blended learning (BL) have come into focus. In recent years, blended learning (BM) has become increasingly popular as a new pedagogical approach, including in Uzbekistan, where its application is gradually increasing in universities. This study analyzes students' perceptions of blended learning, its benefits and challenges in the context of higher education in Uzbekistan. The results, based on questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, showed that students have a positive attitude towards BM, especially those who combine studies with family and work responsibilities. The main challenge remains access to the Internet, however, students were able to successfully utilize the benefits of both face-to-face (F2F) and online learning. The study also highlights the need for further study on the application of blended learning in the higher education system of Uzbekistan for its successful implementation and understanding.
