Blended learning is a form of learning that is the current trend, but it still needs to be explored several factors that play a role when implementing it. Learning style is a critical factor in learning, which is divided into four types, while blended learning (a combination of online and face-to-face) is possible in a variety of forms. This experiment was formed in three different combinations so that the experiment with a 4x3 design (12 groups). Seven group members based on the type of learning style learn in the three online and face-to-face integration forms. Data were collected at the end of the experiment and analyzed using 2-Way ANAVA at the .05 significance level through IBM SPSS 25. The competencies of participants found were significantly different based on the different types of learning styles and the variety of online and face-to-face integration. The average difference test results show that it turns out that the competency of participants with certain types of learning styles, is better in a particular form of learning integration than other types. So, obtaining maximum results in blended learning should first be traced to the type of student learning style and place on the most appropriate blend of learning.
