This study aims to describe the innovation of implementing Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah integrated with differentiated instruction and digital technology in Indonesian language learning modules at the junior high school level. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The research subjects were students of the Teacher Professional Education Program (PPG) in Indonesian Language and Literature who developed and implemented PBL-based Indonesian language learning modules. Data were collected through document analysis of the learning modules and semi-structured interviews with the PPG students as the module developers and implementers. The data were analyzed using content analysis techniques, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of PBL in Indonesian language modules fosters more contextual, meaningful, and student-centered learning. The integration of differentiated learning, Mengajar di Tingkat yang Tepat (TaRL), and Pengajaran Responsif Budaya (CRT) enables teachers to accommodate students’ diverse abilities and backgrounds. The use of digital media and social media platforms in assignments and presentations enhances students’ motivation, participation, and communication skills. Moreover, authentic assessment and reflective activities contribute to the development of students’ critical thinking, collaboration, and independence in line with the Pancasila Student Profile. Therefore, this PBL-based module can serve as a best practice model for innovative learning aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum and the demands of 21st-century education.

This journal studies Project Based Learning (PjBL) as one of the innovative learning strategies that use projects or activities as a means of learning to improve students' learning motivation, learning outcomes, knowledge, and skills. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with literature studies, namely by collecting and analyzing data from various scientific journals, articles, and relevant literature that discuss PjBL, active learning strategies, student learning motivation, and achievement of learning outcomes at various levels of education, especially at the elementary school level. The results of the study show that the implementation of PjBL has proven to be effective in increasing students' learning motivation because this approach emphasizes active involvement, collaboration, a sense of responsibility, and the development of students' creativity during the learning process. More than that, this strategy allows students to learn through hands-on experience and real-world problem-solving, thus making the learning process more contextual, fun, and meaningful. In addition to increasing motivation, PjBL also contributes significantly to improving learning outcomes, because students understand the material more easily when it is associated with daily life. These findings affirm the importance of implementing project-based learning strategies as an alternative learning model relevant to the needs of the 21st century, emphasizing critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity (4C) skills. Therefore, this study recommends that teachers and educators integrate the PjBL approach systematically and structurally in learning planning and in the curriculum to improve the quality of education, student involvement, and learning outcomes in a comprehensive, effective, and sustainable manner.

Many problems during the learning process result in a decrease in student learning motivation which has a negative impact on academic achievement and makes students less active. This can be seen from (1) the rarity of students asking or responding to questions (2) students rarely communicate difficulties to teachers (3) students are also often late in submitting assignments. With these problems, researchers tried to apply the project based learning model with a constructivist approach analysis implemented at SMA Negeri 1 Majene. The subjects of this study were 38 grade X MIPA students of PAI subjects and one of the PAI subject teachers. The method used is descriptive qualitative, data collection techniques are observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques by means of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of this study students have been faced with a problem and have the ability to analyze complex problems, investigate, evaluate, viewpoints and draw conclusions based on evidence and reasoning coupled with the spirit of student collaboration is very compact in each group, where a collaboration is a process of achieving a goal that is done together helping each other, and the most supportive thing in the learning process activities is the extrinsic factor of students which is the stimulation from outside, namely the people around them. In the application of constructivism in learning, it is expected that students are more active and teachers as facilitators become more innovative.

This research discusses the optimization of implementing collaborative learning in the topic of norms and rules, integrating the Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach and Kahoot games with with assessments conducted both in groups and individually, along with observations by an observer. The study was conducted at MIN 1 Balikpapan with 28 students consisting of 12 male students and 16 female students. The assessment was designed to enhance students’ conceptual understanding and social skills through innovative and interactive methods. Observation results show that students are able to communicate and work together effectively in groups, while the presentation and question and answer stages encourage critical thinking skills and self-confidence. The group-based Kahoot game created a fun and competitive atmosphere, increasing students’ motivation and engagement in learning. Individual evaluations conducted at the end of the assessment measured the extent of students' understanding after the collaborative learning process. Overall, this assessment approach successfully fostered an active learning environment that supported the development of students' understanding of the material, social skills, and independent learning abilities. Final results showed that 29% of students achieved a perfect score of 100, 32% scored 90, 21% scored 80, and 14% achieved a passing grade with a score of 70. Only 4% of students did not meet the passing criteria, scoring 60. These findings demonstrate that the majority of students were able to achieve satisfactory learning outcomes.
