This study examines the influence of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) problem based learning model on science literacy and conceptual understanding of grade V students at SDN Mekarmukti 02. In the context of 21st century education, it is important to equip students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Strong science literacy is an important benchmark, especially considering Indonesia's low ranking in the 2018 PISA results. This study uses a quantitative method with a nonequivalent control group experimental design. The research participants were grade V students of SDN Mekarmukti 02. Data were collected through questionnaires before and after the implementation of PBL. Data analysis shows that PBL has a significant influence on improving students' science literacy and understanding of concepts. PBL helps students relate learning to real-life experiences and improve critical thinking skills. This study recommends further development and training for teachers to optimize the implementation of PBL in the classroom.
