This study aims to investigate the understanding of mathematics department students in the subject of statistical method at moodle through scientific approach. The research design is qualitative research. The research subjects are fourth semester students of mathematics department at IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro who are chosen using purposive sampling. The data is analysed using data triangulation. The results of study reveal that from all five subjects; in the online learning using moodle; get so easy in understanding the learning materials. The learning becomes flexible; it can be carried out anywhere and anytime. Students are able to study by looking for learning references from other sources.
