The purpose of this study is to examine both the process and the outcomes of applying the Problem-Based Learning method in short story writing instruction. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, with observation as the primary data collection technique. The data were obtained based on direct observations conducted by the researcher in the field. The results of the study indicate that the learning process using the Problem-Based Learning method is quite effective in short story writing activities. Students were able to participate in the learning process in accordance with the lesson plan (RPP) as a guideline for classroom instruction.
