Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational method that encourages students to explore real world problems and develop solutions as a means of developing knowledge and skills. PBL is a type of learning where problems and students both individually and in groups need to work on these problems. First, based on observations of the books used during English lessons, the books used were old. Second, students' problem solving ability is low. Third, it was found that they needed learning aids in the form of modules. This study aims to develop a PBL-based English learning module with the research population being all class VII students of SMPN 3 Kapur IX. This type of research is Research and Development (R&D). In this study, the researcher chose to adopt the ADDIE (Analysis-Design-Development-Implementation-Evaluation) version of the R&D procedure. The results of the practicality test mean an average value of 94.67% which indicates that the PBL-based module is in the very practical category. The results of the normality test showed that the Kolmogorov-Smirnov scores for the Pre-Test and Post-Test categories respectively showed values of 0.145 and 0.177, with significant alpha values of 0.200 and 0.050. All Kolmogorov-Smirnov alpha significance values exceeded an alpha value of 0.05. This shows that the data from both classes are normally distributed. The results of the homogeneity test obtained a Levene score of 3.456 with a significance value of 0.069. This score exceeds the alpha value of 0.05.
