The Bioconservation course requires a great deal of contextual learning, enrichment, debate, and case studies in the field, hence it is taught in a blended learning format. If the teacher is aware of the student's learning styles, blended learning will be successful. As a result, knowing student learning styles is essential for the success of learning activities. A survey was utilized as the research technique, and the instrument was in the form of a closed angle. The information collected is quantitative. Percentages were used to examine the data. Respondents are State Islamic University KH. Achmad Shiddiq Jember class of 2020 Biology class 2 students enrolled in the Bioconservation course. The results of the study showed that students participating in the Bioconservation course had an auditive-visual learning style of 57.1%, followed by a visual, auditive learning style. Meanwhile, the visual-kinesthetic, auditive-kinesthetic and kinesthetic learning styles had the same percentage of 10.7%. Blended learning may be an option for accommodating different student learning styles.
