Indonesia University of Education, Jl. Dr Setiabudi No. 229, Bandung, West Java,40154, Indonesia *E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Blended Learning has received considerable attention in the field of mathematics education in recent years. This study combines online learning and face-to-face based learning. Blended Learning is based on some of the weaknesses found in online learning. In Blended Learning, Online learning is not just the learning that collects teaching materials, assignments, exercises, tests, and results of students’ works. It also has to be an interesting and attractive learning so that students’ will have better understanding on learning objectives. One of the tools for developing interesting and attractive online learning process is an open source software called GeoGebra. Blended Learning has very good quality when applied in developing students’ High-Order Mathematical Thinking Competency (HOMTC) as it is evident from previous researches. This study was an experiment based on pretest-posttest control group aiming to examine the influence of Blended Learning and students’ initial mathematical ability on students’ achievement and enhancement of HOMTC consisting of some aspects such as mathematical problem solving, mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning, and mathematical connections. -
