However, students at MIN 3 North Halmahera still experience difficulties in solving mathematics problems that require problem solving. One of the reasons is the less interactive learning method, where teachers still use the lecture method a lot so that students become passive. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in improving students' problem solving skills. The method used is Classroom Action Research (PTK) with two cycles, involving observation, interviews, questionnaires, and formative tests. The results showed that the PBL model had a positive impact on students' ability to understand problems and develop solutions systematically. In the second cycle, students became more active, confident, and better able to work in groups. In addition to improving problem solving skills, the PBL model also increased students' learning motivation. However, there were obstacles such as different levels of student participation and a longer time allocation. Therefore, additional strategies are needed to make the implementation of this model more effective.</p>2025-01-26T00:00:00+07:00Copyright (c) 2025 https://journal.makwafoundation.org/index.php/eduspirit/article/view/1119Penggunaan Media Audiovisual untuk Meningkatkan Motivasi Belajar Al-Qur'an Hadis di MAS Al-Azhar Pamekasan Jawa Timur 2025-03-13T21:05:00+07:00Rita Sulasihritasulasih@gamail.comRizal Sofyanrizalsofyan@gmail.comRomi Zatul Ainiromizatulaini@gmail.com<p>This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using audiovisual media to enhance students' motivation in learning Al-Qur'an Hadith at MAS Al-Azhar Pamekasan, East Java.
