This study was conducted to determine students' perceptions of the use of
problem-based learning in activating students' speaking ability. The research
approach uses qualitative research and the research design is descriptive qualitative.
This study only used one basic class as a participant with five meetings. The data
collection method is an interview using two sessions. Then the data analysis used
content analysis to solve the research questions. Based on the interviews, it was
found that students' perceptions of the use of problem based learning in activating
students' speaking ability were good or positive, because students learn to think
critically how to solve problems and students also develop their knowledge, and can
make it easier for students to understand the material.
Problem-based learning has weaknesses, one of which is if students do not have
confidence that the problem being studied is difficult to solve, then students will feel
reluctant to try.
