The independent curriculum's implementation has not been fully grasped by educators, particularly in terms of concepts, learning strategies, and assessment of learning outcomes. There is a notable deficiency in adequate learning tools, including textbooks and materials, to support early childhood education through the project-based learning (PJBL) model, which is highly relevant in this era. The increasing complexity of modern times necessitates that students develop competencies in problem-solving and positive collaboration. This study investigates how the PJBL model can foster these essential skills, preparing students for technological advancements in the 21st century. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through interviews and observations to understand the impact of PJBL on student learning. The findings indicate that project-based learning provides students with the space and time to explore their abilities and knowledge, significantly enhancing their critical thinking, independence, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Consequently, students are better equipped to face real-life challenges.
