Abstrak

This study explores the effectiveness of integrating Problem Based Learning (PBL) with digital infographic media to improve the explanatory writing skills of grade VI students. The quasi- experimental design was implemented in Karawang, with the experimental group utilizing PBL and infographics, and the control group employing traditional methods. A significant improvement was observed in the experimental group compared to the control group, as indicated by the results of the pre- test and post-test scores. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) fosters students' engagement in problem-solving, while digital infographics facilitate visual comprehension of concepts and text structure. This integrated approach has been shown to enhance students' logical organization of information, systematic thinking, and critical skills. The present study posits the incorporation of digital infographics in writing instruction, the extension of PBL to foster collaboration, and the undertaking of further research to explore various digital media or innovative strategies that could enhance students' competencies in areas such as oral communication and analytical reasoning.
