Abstract

This study aims to analyze the management of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills in elementary education. The research employed a qualitative approach with a multisite case study design conducted at SDN Bunikasih 1 and SDN Vada in Cianjur Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving school principals, teachers, and students. Data analysis was carried out using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the management of the PjBL model is implemented through four main stages: planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. In the planning stage, teachers design project-based learning activities that integrate critical thinking indicators, although with varying levels of consistency. In the organizing stage, collaboration among teachers and the formation of heterogeneous student groups support the learning process, despite some coordination constraints. In the implementation stage, PjBL creates an active and engaging learning environment that promotes students’ participation and problem-solving skills. In the controlling stage, evaluation is conducted through supervision, reflection, and the use of critical thinking assessment rubrics, although supervision intensity is sometimes limited. The study concludes that PjBL management contributes positively to improving students’ critical thinking skills, as reflected in increased engagement, deeper understanding of learning materials, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-life contexts. However, challenges related to time management, teacher competence, collaboration, and learning facilities need to be addressed to optimize implementation.

Abstract

The management of religious extracurricular activities is a crucial strategy for achieving character education goals, particularly in shaping and enhancing the *al-akhlāq al-karīmah* (noble character) of students in elementary schools. This study aims to analyze the management of religious extracurricular activities in fostering the noble character of students at SD Negeri Gadung and SD Negeri Kopo in Karangtengah District, Cianjur Regency. The research focuses on the planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation of these activities, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors involved. A qualitative approach utilizing a case study method was employed. Data collection techniques included observation, in-depth interviews with school principals and supervising teachers, and a review of school program documentation. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the management of religious extracurricular activities at both schools was carried out in a planned and systematic manner, characterized by program formulation aligned with the school's vision and mission, clear division of duties, activity implementation based on the habituation of religious values, and periodic evaluation. These religious extracurricular activities contributed positively to enhancing students' noble character, reflected in improved discipline in worship, politeness, honesty, responsibility, and social awareness. Key supporting factors included the commitment of school leadership, the active role of supervising teachers, and parental support, while inhibiting factors included time constraints and limitations regarding facilities and infrastructure. The study concludes that effective management of religious extracurricular activities can serve as a strategic means for fostering student character in elementary schools.
