This study aims to: (1) Describe the implementation of the SOLE model assisted by Google Sites in geography learning, and (2) Analyze the effectiveness and impact of the SOLE model assisted by Google Sites on students' problem-solving abilities. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Seririt with tenth-grade students. The study employed a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design. The experimental and control classes were selected using a simple random sampling technique from pairs of equivalent classes based on a prior class equivalence test. Based on this selection, class X-7, consisting of 36 students, was designated as the experimental group, while class X-9, also consisting of 36 students, served as the control group.
