Abstract

This study investigates the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) assisted by visualisation of the archipelagic insight (Wawasan Nusantara) on the learning activities and outcomes of fourth-grade students in Pancasila Education at the Ahmad Yani Cluster, Kudus, Indonesia. The research is driven by the low student engagement and suboptimal academic performance in Pancasila Education, often taught using conventional methods. Using a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group, data were collected from three elementary schools, with one serving as the experimental group and two as control groups. Data collection employed validated observation sheets and multiple-choice tests. The findings demonstrate that the PBL model, when integrated with culturally contextualised visual media, significantly enhances both student engagement and learning achievement. Statistical tests (t-test, ANOVA, and N-Gain analysis) confirmed the model's effectiveness. This study highlights the potential of combining problem-solving approaches with visual pedagogy to revitalize civic education at the primary level.
