Analyzing procedural texts is an essential competence in Indonesian language learning at the junior high school level, as it requires students to apply analytical thinking and understand textual structures systematically. However, in classroom practice, students often experience difficulties in identifying text structure, linguistic features, and communicative purposes of procedural texts. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Problem Based Learning model in teaching procedural text analysis to ninth-grade students at SMPN 2 Sukaluyu Cianjur and to examine its role in developing students’ analytical abilities. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach involving students and an Indonesian language teacher as research subjects. Data were collected through classroom observation, analysis of students’ work, and documentation of learning activities. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of Problem Based Learning increased students’ engagement in the learning process, encouraged active discussion and collaboration, and supported students in understanding and analyzing the structure and linguistic features of procedural texts more effectively. Students were not only able to comprehend procedural text concepts theoretically but also demonstrated the ability to apply analytical skills in evaluating and revising texts. The learning process became more meaningful as students actively constructed knowledge through problem-solving activities related to real-life contexts. The results of this study imply that Problem Based Learning can serve as an effective alternative instructional model for Indonesian language learning, particularly in fostering analytical skills, learner autonomy, and meaningful engagement in procedural text instruction at the junior high school level.

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.

This study aims to determine the influence of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model on students' creative thinking skills in Social Sciences (IPS) subjects at SMP Negeri 8 Gorontalo. Creative thinking skills are one of the 21st century skills that need to be developed in the learning process, especially in social studies lessons that require analysis and solving social problems. This study employed a quantitative approach utilizing primary data from questionnaires distributed to students at SMP Negeri 8 Gorontalo. The sample consisted of 30 respondents, and the data analysis was performed using simple linear regression. The analysis shows that the t-count for the project-based learning model variable is 6.060. To determine whether Ho is confirmed or rejected, the t-table was calculated at a 5% statistical significance level, resulting in a t-table of 1.701. The comparison indicates that the t-count is greater than the t-table. This leads to the rejection of Ho, implying a significant effect of the project-based learning model on students' creative thinking skills.

The application of Project Based Learning (PBL) Methods has become the main research objective in improving mathematical problem solving abilities in secondary schools. This article was written with the aim of exploring the effectiveness of Project Based Learning (PBL) in the context of mathematics learning. The research method used is literature study and comprehensive analysis of related research results. The research results show that PBL makes a positive contribution in improving students' mathematical problem solving abilities. The factors of active student involvement, development of collaborative skills, and application of mathematical concepts in real world contexts are the keys to the success of PBL. The practical implication of these findings is the need for integration of PBL in secondary school mathematics curricula to support the development of better problem solving abilities.

The focus on 21st-century skills has become a primary concern in education today, especially in the PPL school environment at SMA Negeri 3 Medan. This research aims to identify and analyze liberating educational strategies in developing 21st century skills in the school. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was collected through interviews with teachers, classroom observations, and analysis of educational documents. The research results show that SMA Negeri 3 Medan has implemented several liberating educational strategies, such as project-based learning, collaboration between students, and empowering students in the learning process. These strategies are designed to improve 21st century skills, such as problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, digital literacy, and emotional skills. However, there are still several challenges faced by SMA Negeri 3 Medan in implementing liberating education strategies. Therefore, a strong commitment is needed from all relevant parties to continue to develop and strengthen liberating educational strategies to prepare students to face the demands of the 21st century.
