<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Science learning at elementary school level needs to be designed contextually and fun so that students can understand the concept more deeply. However, in reality, there are still obstacles where students have difficulty in understanding symbiosis material because the learning approach is too theorical and does not involve students actively. This study examines the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model combined with the role-playing method in learning symbiosis material for 3rd grade elementary school students. The purpose of this study is to describe how the combination of PBL and role-playing can be applied in symbiosis learning to improve students understanding of concepts and active participation. The study was conducted on 25 students in 3rd grade at a public elementary school, with data collection techniques through observation and learning outcome test. The result show that the application of the PBL model combined with the role-playing method can help students understand the types of symbiosis more realistically through the roles of living things played. In addition, this approach also has a positive impact on increasing students enthusiasm for learning, cooperation, and critical thinking skills. Thus, the combination of the PBL model and role-playing is effective in improving the quality of science learning In elementary school.]]>
