Abstract

The implementation of Hindu Religious Education and Character Education learning at SMP Sapta Andika Denpasar still faces several challenges, including low student participation, teacher-centered learning practices, and learning outcomes that have not yet reached the expected standards. This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on the learning outcomes of eighth-grade students in Hindu Religious Education and Character Education at SMP Sapta Andika Denpasar in the 2025/2026 academic year. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method involving an experimental group and a control group. The population consisted of all eighth-grade students of SMP Sapta Andika Denpasar in the 2025/2026 academic year. The research sample was selected using a sampling technique adjusted to the characteristics of the population. Data were collected through learning outcome tests administered before and after the treatment. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics after fulfilling the required assumptions. The results indicated that the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model had a positive effect on students’ learning outcomes. Students who participated in PBL-based learning achieved higher improvements in learning outcomes compared to those who received conventional instruction. Furthermore, the PBL model enhanced students’ critical thinking skills, collaboration, active participation, and problem-solving abilities. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model has a positive and significant effect on the learning outcomes of eighth-grade students in Hindu Religious Education and Character Education at SMP Sapta Andika Denpasar
