This classroom action research aims to improve the vocabulary of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 3 Palu through the use of Problem Based Learning in the topic of Analytical Expisition Text. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 33 students, with data collected through observation, tests (pre-test and post-test), and interviews. The results showed an improvement in students' vocabulary through the implementation of problem based learning strategy. In the first cycle, students showed limited vocabulary, which made it difficult for them to understand and use expressions related to asking and giving opinion in Analytical exposistion . However, in the second cycle, there was a significant improvement in students' vocabulary mastery after applying problem based learning strategy. Students became more active, confident, and demonstrated a better understanding of vocabulary related to directions. This research recommends the use of problem based learning as an effective learning strategy to support the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka, which emphasizes team work and student-centered learning. By using problem based learning , students are expected to better master vocabulary, feel more motivated to learn, actively participate in class, and not feel hindered due to a lack of vocabulary.
