THE EFFECT OF PROBLEM BASED LEARNING (PBL) APPROACH TOWARD STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILL : A TRUE-EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH ON SEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS’ AT PONDOK PESANTREN PKPPS WUSTHA HIDAYATUL QOMARIYAH BENGKULU CITY ACADEMIC YEAR 2024/2025
Keywords:
Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Speaking skills, Experimental research
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach
on the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at Pondok Pesantren PKPPS
Wustha Hidayatul Qomariyah Bengkulu City during the 2024/2025 academic year.
A true-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group was
employed to compare the effectiveness of PBL against traditional teaching methods.
Participants were divided into experimental and control groups, with the
experimental group receiving PBL instruction and the control group receiving
traditional instruction. Speaking skills were assessed using pre-tests and post-tests.
Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, independent t-tests, and
two-way ANOVA. The results demonstrated a statistically significant improvement
in the speaking skills of students who received PBL instruction compared to those
who received traditional instruction. This finding suggests that PBL is an effective
pedagogical approach for enhancing speaking ability in this context.
