This study aims to examine the effect of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model integrated with Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) on social care character and learning outcomes of Pancasila Education for fifth-grade elementary school students. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental posttest-only control group design. The sample consisted of 36 students equally divided into an experimental group (n=18) and a control group (n=18). The experimental group received TPACK-based PjBL instruction, while the control group followed conventional instruction. Research instruments included a multiple-choice test to measure learning outcomes (20 items, K-R 20=0.704) and a Likert-scale questionnaire to measure social care character (14 items, Cronbach's Alpha=0.738). The results showed that the TPACK-based PjBL model significantly affected social care character (t=3.243; p=0.003; eta²=0.236), learning outcomes (t=4.123; p<0.001; eta²=0.333), and simultaneously affected both (Wilks' Lambda=0.623; F=10.001; p<0.001; eta²=0.377) with large effect categories. In the experimental group, the average learning outcomes increased from 48.89 to 75.83 (N-Gain=0.556, medium category) and social care character increased from 37.39 to 45.89 (N-Gain=0.498, medium category). The mastery learning proportion in the experimental group reached 61.1%, much higher than the control group which only reached 11.1%. These findings strengthen the TPACK framework in the context of Pancasila Education in elementary schools as an approach that can support the integrated development of character and academic abilities.
