Analyzing procedural texts is an essential competence in Indonesian language learning at the junior high school level, as it requires students to apply analytical thinking and understand textual structures systematically. However, in classroom practice, students often experience difficulties in identifying text structure, linguistic features, and communicative purposes of procedural texts. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Problem Based Learning model in teaching procedural text analysis to ninth-grade students at SMPN 2 Sukaluyu Cianjur and to examine its role in developing students’ analytical abilities. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach involving students and an Indonesian language teacher as research subjects. Data were collected through classroom observation, analysis of students’ work, and documentation of learning activities. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of Problem Based Learning increased students’ engagement in the learning process, encouraged active discussion and collaboration, and supported students in understanding and analyzing the structure and linguistic features of procedural texts more effectively. Students were not only able to comprehend procedural text concepts theoretically but also demonstrated the ability to apply analytical skills in evaluating and revising texts. The learning process became more meaningful as students actively constructed knowledge through problem-solving activities related to real-life contexts. The results of this study imply that Problem Based Learning can serve as an effective alternative instructional model for Indonesian language learning, particularly in fostering analytical skills, learner autonomy, and meaningful engagement in procedural text instruction at the junior high school level.

This study is motivated by the low ability of seventh-grade students to understand and write procedural texts, particularly in terms of linguistic features and the logical sequencing of steps. These conditions indicate the need for a learning model that actively engages students and enhances their analytical thinking skills. This research aims to examine the effect of the Problem Based Learning model on students’ ability to analyze and write procedural texts at SMP Negeri 1 Warungkondang. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group. The research population consisted of all seventh-grade students, with a sample of 32 students divided into an experimental class and a control class. Data were collected through comprehension tests, procedural text writing assessments, and classroom observations of student learning activities. Statistical analysis was conducted to identify differences and improvements in students’ abilities following the implementation of the learning model. The findings reveal that students’ understanding of procedural text structure was at a moderate level, with the highest achievement in identifying text goals and the lowest in mastering linguistic features. Students’ writing ability was predominantly categorized as moderate, indicating that while they understood the basic structure of procedural texts, they encountered difficulties in organizing steps logically and in detail. Furthermore, the use of audiovisual media within problem-based learning significantly increased student engagement and learning enthusiasm, although oral communication skills remained limited. These results suggest that Problem Based Learning is effective in improving procedural text learning outcomes; however, it should be supported by focused linguistic guidance and staged writing practice to optimize students’ overall writing performance.  

This study aims to describe the innovation of implementing Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah integrated with differentiated instruction and digital technology in Indonesian language learning modules at the junior high school level.
