Abstract

This study’s purpose was to improve or increase the student learning activity and learning outcomes
bu using Problem-based Learning model on human reproductive system topic. This research type was
classroom action research due to two cycles that used. The objects were students class XI IPA 4 in SMAN 2
Soposrung Balige. The data got by using multiple-choice question to measure the students learning outcomes
and an instrument to observe the students learning activities. The result showed that the application of
problem-based learning model can increase learning activities of students from the first cycle to second cycle of
23.06%. The application of problem-based learning model can improve student learning outcomes in sub
material human reproductive system was indicated by an increase learning outcomes of the first cycle to
