The research subjects amounted to 20 students, consisting of 12 women and 8 men. Data collection techniques include learning outcome tests, observation of teacher and student activities, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively by comparing results between cycles. The results of the study showed a significant increase in student understanding. In the first cycle, the completion percentage reached 70% with 15 students completing it. In the second cycle, the percentage of completeness increased to 85% with 17 students complete. The activities of students and teachers also showed an increase from the good category to excellent. Thus, the application of the Problem Based Learning learning model has proven to be effective in increasing students' understanding of the material of faith to the last day at SMP Negeri 3 Trienggadeng.]]>
