Abstract

This study aims to develop and conduct an initial trial of the Digital Learning–Based PROTINGSOL instructional model in Community Learning Centers (Pusat Kegiatan Belajar Masyarakat/PKBM). The research was conducted at PKBM Bina Sejahtera Karawang and involved 12 tutors and 28 adult learners from Package B and Package C programs. Data were collected through non-participant observation, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and needs analysis. The findings indicate that learning activities at PKBM Bina Sejahtera are still predominantly characterized by conventional instructional methods, highlighting the need for problem-based and digitally integrated learning approaches.The initial PROTINGSOL model was developed through three core stages: problem identification, thinking processes, and problem solving. The results of the preliminary implementation show positive responses from both learners and tutors, including increased learner engagement (80%), improvement in initial critical thinking skills (72%), and high relevance of the model to the PKBM context (85%). Overall, the findings suggest that the PROTINGSOL model has strong potential to strengthen contextual and digital-based learning in non-formal education settings. Further research involving broader implementation and expert validation is recommended to examine the sustainability and effectiveness of the model across diverse PKBM contexts.
