The population of this study was third grade which is consisted of 33 students.The method of this research is Pre-experimental design. As what John W. Creswell stated in his book “the researcher studies a single group and provides an intervention during the experiment. This design does not have a control group to compare with the experimental group.” The data of this study was validated by applying one-group pre-test-post-test design which is one of pre-experimental research designs. The result of the analysis showed that tobserve (2,831) was higher than t-table (2,080) with the level of significant α= 5% (0,05). The final hypothesis showed than Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. It means that there was a significant influence of using Blended Learning Model through Schoology Media.
