Abstract

This research investigated the impact of the project-based learning (PjBL) model on the social-emotional skills. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was utilized. The study population included all grade eight students at SMP Negeri 4 Palu during the 2025/2026 academic year. Cluster random sampling was used to select the sample, resulting in two groups: Class VIII-A (experimental group, n=27), where the PjBL model was applied, and Class VIII-B (control group, n=30), which received traditional instruction. Social-emotional skills were measured using a questionnaire that assessed the five key CASEL competencies and demonstrated high reliability (α = 0.87). Data analysis involved the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, Levene’s test for homogeneity, and the Mann-Whitney U test for hypothesis testing, as the data did not meet normality and homogeneity assumptions. The findings revealed a Mann-Whitney p-value of 1.000 (p > 0.05), leading to the acceptance of the null hypothesis. Therefore, it was concluded that the PjBl model did not significantly affect students’ social-emotional skills.

Abstract

The community service program aims to use training and mentoring  to help teachers  at SMP Negeri 19 Palu, Central SSulawesi, become more adept at  creating UbD-based PBL classes. The main problem is teachers' low  competence in designing innovative learning, so interventions such as training, mentoring, and direct practice are needed. This activity is important in encouraging initiatives to raise the standard of education and teacher  pedagogy. This program employs interactive action research techniques in a qualitative manner. Data were collected from 15 teachers through product assessments and assessments of teacher involvement and skills. The results were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The activity’s outcomes demonstrate a  rise in teacher skills in designing learning using the UbD-based PBL model. 100% of the produced goods meet the "excellent" quality criteria . The findings from observations of teacher activities show that all teachers work well together, communicate, collaborate, help each other, take on a high level of responsibility in completing tasks, and play an active role in their groups. These findings indicate that training accompanied by mentoring helps teachers overcome obstacles to pedagogical competence. The logical consequence of this program has been a significant improvement in teachers' skills in designing innovative learning using UbD-based contextual problems. It is advised that this program be maintained and expanded to design contextual learning that prioritizes learning quality according to student needs.
