This classroom action research is motivated by the low cognitive learning outcomes in economics among thirty three students of class XII IPS 4 at SMAN 1 Kubutambahan. To overcome this academic problem, this study implemented the Problem Based Learning model assisted by visual media. This research utilized the Kemmis and McTaggart design across two cycles. Data were collected via objective tests and response questionnaires, then analyzed using quantitative descriptive methods. The study findings demonstrated a highly significant escalation in academic achievement. In Cycle I, the average student cognitive score reached 72.27, with a classical completeness percentage of 57.58%. This figure then surged drastically in Cycle II to 85.30, achieving a classical completeness of 81.82%. Furthermore, the questionnaire analysis results proved that student acceptability fell into a highly positive category, specifically obtaining an average score of 87.35. The strategic synergy between PBL and visual media succeeded.
