This study reported effect size of blended learning on learning outcomes consisting of subgroups of education levels (elementary school, junior high school, senior high school, vocational education, and college) and subgroups of learning outcomes (knowledge, thinking ability, and attitude). Findings: The theoretical effect size score of Standard Mean Difference or SMD = 1.01 (95% CI [0.802– 1.20). P < 0.00001) for blended learning compared to conventional. Subgroup analysis obtained a high category effect size for Blended Learning’s application according to the level of education and learning achievement.
