Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to enhance Civics learning outcomes for CLC Pasir Putih class IX students of SMP Keningau Bingkor in Sabah, Malaysia, using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method supported by podcast media. During the 2023/2024 academic year, the study involved 21 students and addressed unsatisfactory learning conditions while improving instructional quality. In Cycle I, only 12 students met the minimum completion criteria (KKM) of 75, with nine falling short. By Cycle II, significant improvement was observed: 19 students achieved the KKM, and the class average rose to 80. This exceeded the school's classical target completion. The podcast-based PBL model fostered interactive and engaging lessons, countering the monotony of conventional methods. Students reported increased motivation as podcasts made materials more accessible and flexible for repeated learning. The innovative approach allowed them to learn anytime, anywhere, enhancing comprehension. Overall, students expressed enthusiasm for continuing this method, citing its effectiveness and enjoyment. Their positive responses underscored how combining PBL with podcast media improved academic performance and created a dynamic, student-centered learning environment.
