<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effect of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model implemented through outdoor activities on the learning outcomes of sixth-grade elementary school students in the Pancasila Education subject. This quasi-experimental research was conducted in the 2025 academic year at SD Negeri 1 Loktabat Selatan, Banjarbaru, involving 30 students (12 males and 18 females). Fifteen students were taught using the PjBL model incorporating outdoor learning activities, including the introduction of norms, rights, and obligations through school environment exploration and poster observation. The remaining students received PjBL instruction conducted entirely in the classroom. Student activity and interaction data were collected using observation sheets, while learning outcomes were measured through pre-tests and post-tests across three instructional sessions. The results revealed that the experimental group achieved a higher mean score (83.40) compared to the control group (67.53), with an N-Gain of 0.63 (moderate to high category). A significant difference was found between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). The PjBL model in the experimental class encouraged students to actively respond to real-life issues within their surroundings. Outdoor learning proved to be an effective method to make learning more concrete, engaging, and relevant to daily life. It fostered student engagement, environmental awareness, and independent concept discovery through direct experiences and guided exploration. Overall, the PjBL model through outdoor learning effectively enhanced students’ learning processes.]]>
