This research was motivated by the low process skills of elementary school students. The purpose of this research was to improve the process skills of elementary school students by using PBL. This research is a class action research using Mac Taggart design consisting of planning, implementation, observation and refleskis. This study consisted of 2 cycles with the number of students as many as 30 students. Data collection techniques use observation sheets. The results stated that there was an improvement in the process skills of elementary school students using the PBL model from the results of cycle process skills 1 getting a score of 66.67 increased in cycle 2 getting a score of 83.33. The implications of this research can serve as the basis for teachers in developing the process skills of elementary school students.
