Abstract

The low ability of teachers to determine projects in PjBL learning and the lack of understanding of teachers related to PjBL learning. This community service is carried out to increase teacher capacity in designing and implementing context-based project-based learning (PjBL) aligned with the Independent Curriculum. This community service activity was carried out at YPPK St. Fransiskus Xaverius Elementary School. The number of training participants was 20 people. The activity was carried out through several stages: preparation, training, workshops, and mentoring. In the preparation stage, the implementation team identified teacher needs and problems through field surveys and the preparation of activity administration tools. The survey results showed that most teachers experienced difficulties in designing learning projects and did not understand the basic syntax of the PjBL model. The training and workshop stages focused on strengthening teachers' conceptual understanding and practical skills in developing project-based teaching tools, with the result that around 80% of participants were able to develop learning tools that aligned with learning outcomes and integrated local cultural values of the Malind Tribe. Meanwhile, the mentoring phase significantly improved the quality of teaching materials and teachers' confidence in implementing PjBL in the classroom. The results of this activity demonstrate that training and mentoring are crucial for improving teachers' knowledge, skills, and productivity in border areas.

Abstract

Many students tend to be passive, less able to ask in-depth questions, and have difficulty analyzing and concluding information, especially in science learning that demands conceptual understanding and high-level thinking skills. This study aims to improve fifth-grade students' critical thinking skills by applying the PjBL model. The method used is CAR, with two cycles: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 25 fifth-grade elementary school students. Data collection techniques through observation, tests, and documentation with research instruments in the form of observation sheets and critical thinking evaluation questions. Data obtained from the test results were analyzed quantitatively using the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM). The results of the study showed that the PjBL model gradually improved students' critical thinking skills, from an average of 49.28% and 44% completeness in cycle I to an average of 81.81% and 88% completeness in cycle II. This increase was evident in students' participation in discussions, their ability to formulate problems, and their ability to convey solutions logically and in a structured manner. Thus, the PjBL Model has been proven to improve critical thinking skills in the material on heat transfer and influence among fifth-grade students.
