| Abstract: | Purpose: The recently emerging agile-blended learning (AB learning) is novel to researchers and practitioners alike, and previous research has not examined the characteristics that the AB learning approach has presented in metropolitan learners. The significance of the AB learning approach has been neglected. Design/methodology/approach: This systematic review aims to explore the AB learning strategies for metropolitan learners by examining recent literature from 2020 to 2024 using the PRISMA searching process, coding and analysis. The review included 68 studies after screening articles obtained from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Findings: The results present the current focus of AB learning in literature as flexibility, learner autonomy, technology mediation and collaboration of the AB learning approach for metropolitan learners. The review also provides implications for the future directions of AB learning research. Originality/value: This paper presents an evaluation of the AB learning approach, specifically designed for metropolitan learners and highlights its distinctive characteristics inherent to AB learning. |
