Abstract: The Improvement of Science Process Skill through a Problem-Based Learning Model for the 4th Grade Students of Elementary School. The aims of the research to increase the skill of science process of the 4th grade students of elementary school by applying the problem-based learning model. The method of this research can be categorized as a collaborative classroom action research (CAR) conducted in three cycles; every cycle consists of plan, the execution of action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects totalling 20 students of elementary school. The data analysis was done qualitatively and quantitatively. The result of the research showed that the problem-based learning model can improve the skill of science process of the 4th grade students. The conclusion of the research is the problem-based learning model can improve the skill of science process of the 4th grade students of elementary school.
