Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar PAK Melalui Metode PBL Berbantu Media Audio Visual Kelas VII-A SMPN 3 Pancur Batu

The issue of low learning outcomes in Catholic Religion for seventh-grade students is attributed to the educators' tendency to use conservative teaching methods, specifically lectures. This is evidenced by the learning results of students in Catholic Religious Education at SMP Negeri 3 Pancur Batu, where only 2 out of 7 students achieved the minimum passing criteria (KKM) set by the school, which is 75. To improve learning outcomes, the researcher implemented a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model supported by audiovisual media. The study was conducted at SMPN 3 Pancur Batu. The findings indicate that the use of the PBL model can enhance students' learning outcomes. This is demonstrated by the improvement in learning results from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2, with qualitative data showing that 14.3% of students were categorized as Developing as expected and 85.7% as Very Developing. In terms of cognitive aspects, 85.7% were classified as Proficient and 57.1% as Skilled. The conclusion of the study is that the implementation of the PBL model with audiovisual media in teaching can improve the learning outcomes of seventh-grade Catholic Religion education.
