This study presents a novel computational approach that integrates the operator splitting alternate direction implicit (ADI) scheme with a high-order weak Galerkin finite element method to solve a two-dimensional singularly perturbed parabolic reaction-convection-diffusion problem involving two small parameters. The ADI technique decomposes the original 2D problem into a sequence of 1D subproblems along each spatial direction, which are then discretized using the weak Galerkin finite element method on a nonuniform Bakhvalov-type mesh. For time discretization, the Crank-Nicolson scheme is applied separately in each spatial direction alongside the weak Galerkin method. Theoretical error analysis, based on a local (Formula presented.) projection, ensures spatial accuracy of order (Formula presented.) and second-order temporal convergence under the balanced norm. Numerical experiments validate the efficiency of the proposed method and confirm the theoretical error estimates.
