This research aims to understand the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to improve students' problem solving skills. This research is a class action research model of Kemmis & Taggart which was carried out in three cycles, each cycle consisted of two meetings. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed how PBL on computer subject and basic networks can improve problem solving skills. Improvements occured in all aspects of observation. In problem solving skills, the average of cycle I was 67.75% increased in cycle II with an average of 76.76% and increased in cycle III amounted to 80.325%. PBL is able to improve problem solving skills with the steps: 1) orienting students to the problem classically; 2) organizing students to study in a group work of 4 people and the division of tasks for each member; 3) guiding individual and group investigations on the same topic, discussed maximum in two groups; 4) developing and presenting the work done in front of the class with more time allocation in the discussion session; 5) analyzing and evaluating the problem-solving process that focuses on re-checking the results.
