The sample in this study was 34 prospective teacher students in semester 1 of the 2023/2024 academic year at universities in Sumba - NTT - Indonesia.

The instruments used in this research consisted of the CBC test and the student response questionnaire. Data analysis techniques use quantitative and qualitative descriptive, paired t-test, N-Gain, and test-t independent. The research results show that learning blended learning MOODLE-based effectiveness in increasing KBK is shown by (a) average N-Gain in the medium category, (b) average N-Gain not significantly different (consistent) for each class with a significance level = 5%, (c) student responses are categorized as very effective. The research results concluded that learning blended MOODLE-based is effective in increasing the CBC of prospective teacher students in 3T areas. Hopefully, these findings can become a reference for educational institutions developing creative and responsive learning strategies, especially in areas with limited access to education.
