This study examined the impact of PBL (problem based learning) on students' academic performance in the subject of biology. At the beginning of the school year, for entrance monitoring, students took a test in the section "Coordination and regulation", the results of which were low. Teachers have developed a special author's program for this section with PBL elements. The study was conducted in the South Kazakhstan region at school X, 8th grade students. All 8 classes were divided into experimental and control groups (number 97). The control group was trained with the traditional method, while the experimental group was trained with PBL. For the analysis, a t-test for independent samples was used to compare the difference between the groups. The results showed a significant difference between the groups, PBL-proved to be an effective method to improve students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
