Abstrak

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional method that places students at the center of the learning process by engaging them in solving real-world problems. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of PBL in teaching Capital Market material to Class X.4 students at SMA Negeri 3 Palembang, as well as to examine students’ responses toward the learning experience. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach through classroom observation, teaching assistance, and independent teaching practice. The results indicate that PBL successfully increased students’ active involvement, conceptual understanding, and analytical skills in learning the Capital Market topic. The average class score increased from 80 to 90, students’ active participation rose from 89% to 97%, and satisfaction levels improved from 92% to 98%. However, several challenges were encountered, such as difficulty maintaining focus among some students and limited learning time. Overall, PBL proved to be effective in economics instruction and capable of encouraging students to think critically and participate actively throughout the learning process. Reflection on the experience is also expected to enhance future learning practices.
