Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of the learning model Blended Learning with the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on students^ conceptual understanding and problem solving abilities. This type of research is an experimental study with a quasi-experimental design which was carried out at SMPN 11 Bengkulu City in the even semester of the 2020/2021 school year with the research population being all students of class VIII totaling 248 students and the research sample totaling 60 students consisting of 2 classes namely class VIII.E as the experimental class and VIII.F as the control class. The instrument of this research is a test of concept understanding and a test of problem solving ability. Based on the Mancova statistical test, the results showed that there was an effect of thelearning model Blended Learning with the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on understanding mathematical concepts and mathematical problem solving abilities together by controlling students^ initial abilities.
