Additionally, the average learning outcomes of students increased from 69.89 in Cycle I to 80.89 in Cycle II. Furthermore, students' responses and attitudes towards the implementation of the Problem Based Learning model were highly positive, demonstrating the effectiveness of the model in enhancing the quality of learning.
