achievement. This study aims to determine the effect of TPACK (Technology,
Pedagogical, Content, Knowledge) based problem-based learning to improve the
motivation and academic achievement of the fifth-grade students of SD Negeri

out in two cycles, each consisting of two meetings and one learning implementation
plan. This research consists of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages.

of 77% with good criteria. The evaluation test results also increased from cycle I
to cycle II. Cycle I obtained an average score of 73.48 with sufficient criteria, and
cycle II, obtained an average score of 90.71 with excellent criteria. The results of
