SLR: Implementation and Challenges of Using Problem Based Learning Methods in Elementary School Students' Mathematics Problem-Solving Ability

Shefila Sakina Azzahro, Candra Utama

Abstract


This study aims to examine the implementation and challenges of using the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model to enhance elementary school students' mathematical problem-solving skills through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. The article analyzes 10 selected studies published between 2020 and 2025. The findings indicate that the application of PBL can improve students' critical thinking, analytical abilities, and social skills. However, several challenges were identified, including student readiness, teacher competence, and limited learning resources. Therefore, appropriate strategies are needed to optimize the implementation of PBL to achieve mathematics learning objectives effectively.
