This study focused on the use of PCMRI2 in analysing journal articles for semester 1 students of the Institute of Teacher Education Ilmu Khas Campus. The primary objective was to improve students' skills in analysing journal articles. Six students from PKUK3013E Course were selected as participants in this intervention. The Scaffolding approach was employed for the two-week intervention. The findings revealed an improvement in assessment scores compared to prior to the intervention. Participants in the study demonstrated that PCMRI2 could facilitate them in effective article analysis as well as academic writing. This study suggested that the study of PCMRI2 could be enhanced to include more study samples to achieve high validity and reliability.
