Project Oriented Problem Based Learning (POPBL) is a 21st century learning method that can stimulate students in terms of critical and creative thinking and helps in various aspects of student learning. Most students usually show a very less interest on History subject due to long descriptive facts that need to be memorised for examination purposes. Therefore, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was carried out to analyse the effectiveness of Project Oriented Problem Based Learning (POPBL) in History subject. The importance of this SLR is to analyse the improvement of different learning aspects of students by using POPBL method in History subject in both school and higher education level. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flowchart was used as one of the main methods to select the study articles based on the criterias. Three databases such as SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE (WOS), and ERIC were used for the screening of past research articles. A total of 5641 articles were screened and 15 articles were selected according to established criteria such as the year of publication, language, type of reference material and field of study of journal articles. The findings of the study shows that the aspect of learning measured by most researchers is the improvement of behavior where they are a total of 7 articles (47%) out of 15 articles. Whereas, the least learning aspect studied by the researchers from this SLR is student achievement level where there is only 1 article (7%) out of 15 articles. Therefore, it is necessary for the upcoming researches to focus on different types of student learning aspects by using POPBL in History other than behavior.
