This study aims to determine the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on writing scientific articles. The target group was 70 Indonesian students at Universitas Asahan enrolling Indonesian Language course. The duration of the course was 14 weeks. Students were asked to submit individual writing and group projects during the experiment. This study employs a quasi-experiment with a non-equivalent post-test design in two Indonesian Language courses. According to the results, the aggregate mean score of students in PBL class was 79.91. In comparison, the overall mean score of students in the control group or those who did not adopt the PBL approach was 66.51. These results suggest that students in PBL class could write good scientific articles.
