In the independent curriculum, students carry out projects like the Strengthening Pancasila Student Profile (P5) Project, allowing them to independently explore and develop skills. This study aims to: 1) Analyze the P5 Project's impact on fourth-grade students at SD Negeri Samir; and 2) Evaluate differentiated learning in the independent curriculum for the same grade at SD Negeri Samir. This qualitative research involved 15 participants—facilitator teachers and 14 fourth-grade students (8 boys, 6 girls). Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Findings show: 1) P5 activities, from preparation to evaluation, were structured and successful; and 2) Differentiated learning effectively differentiated content and products, supported students, and maintained consistent analysis and evaluation.
