The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to analyze 15 articles published between 2020 and 2025, retrieved from Google Scholar using predetermined inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed through the stages of identification, selection, extraction, and synthesis of research findings. The review revealed that PBL contributes to various aspects of IRE learning, including improved learning outcomes, enhances critical thinking skills, increased motivation and student participation, and the development of character and social skills. In addition, the successful implementation of PBL is influenced by teachers’ ability to design contextual learning experiences, the use of appropriate instructional media, and students’ active engagement throughout the learning process.
