<![CDATA[This study aims to improve students' problem solving skills in social studies subjects for class V through the application of the Problem Based Learning learning model. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) or Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Suharsimi Arikunto model which is carried out in 2 cycles. One cycle consists of four stages, namely: planning, implementation, observation and reflection. This research was conducted at SD Negeri Kereo 05 Cipadu, Tangerang City. The research subjects were fifth grade students of SD Negeri Kereo 05 Cipadu, Tangerang City, Academic Year 2021/2022 which consisted of 30 students. The action taken is to apply the Problem Based Learning learning model. Data collection techniques in the form of interviews, observations, tests, and documentation. The results of the study show that: (1) The application of the Problem Based Learning model has been implemented well. evidenced by the increase in the results of teacher activity research in the first cycle to get 50% to 80% in the second cycle. Likewise, the increase in student activity results obtained 40,6% in the first cycle to 78,1% in the second cycle.
