<![CDATA[Education is currently still believed to be a very effective medium in building independent learning. The learning independence that the author means in this research is related to a condition where students are able to process themselves in making decisions and are responsible for the actions they take. In this research, the author also uses the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model. So that the learning process is always related to Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning steps. To achieve the educational goals proclaimed by the government, the author as a Catholic Religious Education teacher wants to take part in it, namely by increasing the learning independence of students in PAK which the author experiences is still very minimal, especially for students who are in the Mentawai Islands Regency and especially class VII students at SMPN 2 Siberut Tengah, with the title class action research : "Increasing the learning independence of class VII students through PBL in PAK and BP at SMPN 2 Siberut Tengah". From the problem formulation, it can be seen that the objectives of this PTK are: 1) To find out how to increase the learning independence of Class VII students through PBL in PAK and BP at SMPN 2 Siberut Tengah?; 2) To find out the activities of teachers and students in the learning process through PBL in PAK and BP class VII at SMPN 2 Siberut Tengah?
