Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) under the Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes the development of higher-order thinking skills, including students’ ability to analyze movement concepts and procedures in martial arts learning. However, preliminary observations in Class XI-8 of SMAN 2 Martapura revealed that students’ martial arts movement analysis skills remained low, with only 32.4% of students achieving the Learning Objective Achievement Criterion (KKTP) of 80. Therefore, an innovative learning approach was needed to enhance students’ analytical abilities. This study aimed to improve the martial arts movement analysis skills of Class XI-8 students through the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart spiral model, consisting of two cycles with the stages of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The participants were 34 students of Class XI-8 during the even semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through structured observation sheets, written tests measuring C4-level analytical skills, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using comparative descriptive techniques, while qualitative data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.
The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in students’ martial arts movement analysis skills. The class average score increased from 60.8 in the pre-cycle stage to 73.7 in Cycle I and 82.8 in Cycle II. Classical learning completeness improved from 32.4% to 61.8% and reached 85.3% in Cycle II, exceeding the predetermined success criterion of 80%. Student learning activity also increased significantly from 52% (poor category) to 82% (good category). In conclusion, the Problem Based Learning model proved effective in improving students’ martial arts movement analysis skills and learning participation. PBL can therefore be recommended as an instructional strategy for developing higher-order thinking skills in PJOK learning.
