Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is recognized as an effective approach in mathematics education, enhancing students’ problem-solving, critical thinking, and higher-order thinking skills. However, the implementation of PBL in classrooms often faces various challenges encountered by teachers. This study aims to analyze the difficulties faced by teachers in implementing PBL in mathematics education and propose solutions to improve its effectiveness. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to high school mathematics teachers, followed by in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that the main challenges include time constraints, student readiness, lack of resources, and insufficient teacher training. This study provides practical recommendations to address these challenges, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of PBL in mathematics education.
