<![CDATA[This research sought to enhance both the learning quality and outcomes in the subject of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) by applying the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) approach in a fourth-grade classroom at SDN 118/II Candi. The study was driven by low student involvement and unsatisfactory academic results, largely due to the overuse of lecture-style instruction and limited variety in teaching strategies. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was used, carried out in two cycles that included the stages of planning, execution, observation, and reflection. The participants in this study were 32 fourth-grade students. Data collection involved observing teacher and student activities, as well as administering assessments to evaluate learning progress. The findings showed notable progress in both classroom engagement and student performance. Teacher involvement rose from 62.50% to 95.83%, while the percentage of students demonstrating a "very good" level of participation increased from 18.75% to 40.63%. Furthermore, the proportion of students achieving the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKTP) grew from 53.13% to 84.38%. These results confirm that the PjBL method is effective in creating an active, interactive, and purposeful learning atmosphere, motivating students to engage directly in relevant and thought-provoking project-based tasks.]]>
