The use of conventional methods and media causes students to become passive and less engaged. Furthermore, teacher-centered learning tends to make students bored due to the monotonous learning style. This study aims to: 1) describe the learning activities of Geography students; 2) describe the teaching activities of the teacher; and 3) describe the improvement in learning outcomes of Class XI Social 2 students at SMAN 2 Konawe Selatan taught using the Problem-Based Learning model on Population Dynamics topic. This study is Classroom Action Research. Data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative descriptive techniques. The results showed improvements in all indicators. Student learning activity in Cycle I was 2.4 and increased to 3.6 in Cycle II. Teacher teaching activity in Cycle I was 2.9 and increased to 3.7 in Cycle II. Student learning outcome mastery in Cycle I was 63% (17 out of 27 students) and increased to 89% (24 out of 27 students) in Cycle II.
