The data collection methods included both test and non-test techniques, utilizing tools such as test questions, observation sheets, and documentation, all of which were validated and tested for reliability before the research began. The gathered data were analyzed using both descriptive statistics and inferential statistical methods. The findings of the study indicated that the control group had an average pretest score of 31.62, which increased to 54.05 in the posttest. Meanwhile, the experimental group had a pretest score of 45 and a posttest score of 76.94. Statistical testing indicated a significant effect of the blended learning method supported by the KANA chatbot application, with a value of 8.5230. In conclusion, the application of the blended learning approach with the support of the KANA chatbot application has a substantial positive influence on students' learning outcomes.
