This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the main group elemental chemistry textbooks based on problem based learning in improving student learning outcomes. The design of this study was a quasi-experiment with one group pretest-posttest design. The participants in this study were sixth year chemistry education students at Universitas Sriwijaya for the 2021/2022 academic year. Test instruments was implied in this research and analyzed using statistics with N-gain data. The results showed that problem-based learning teaching materials for chemistry education students were categorized as very effective with a high level of N-gainKeywords: chemistry textbooks, problem-based learning, chemistry learning outcomes.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v23i4.pp1376-1381
