Oral communication is a core competency in 21st-century education; however, instructional materials in elementary schools tend to emphasize reading and writing rather than structured speaking practice. This gap highlights the need for innovative learning resources that explicitly foster students’ oral communication skills. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) module designed to enhance the oral communication skills of fourth-grade elementary school students. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, encompassing analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants were 30 fourth-grade students, and the developed module was validated by three experts in material, media, and language. Data were collected through validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires, and pretest–posttest performance assessments.The expert validation results indicated high feasibility, with scores of 95% (material), 94% (media), and 96% (language), yielding an overall average of 95%. Teacher and student responses demonstrated strong practicality (92% and 88%, respectively; average 90%). The effectiveness test revealed a significant improvement in students’ oral communication performance, with mean scores increasing from 67 (pretest) to 86 (posttest), resulting in an N-Gain of 0.65, categorized as moderately high effectiveness. These findings suggest that the developed PjBL module is feasible, practical, and effective in improving elementary students’ oral communication skills. The study contributes to the field of communication-oriented instructional design by demonstrating how structured project-based modules, supported by simple digital enhancements such as QR-linked instructional videos, can systematically integrate speaking practice into Indonesian language learning at the primary level.

The results showed an increase in children’s environmental awareness and environmentally responsible behavior, the creation of eco-friendly educational products, as well as improvements in creativity, motor skills, and teamwork abilities. In addition, this activity supported the strengthening of the Pancasila Student Profile, particularly in the dimensions of cooperation, critical thinking, creativity, and independence. Overall, the Recycled Keychain project proved to be an effective model of contextual, participatory, and sustainable environmental education in instilling environmental care values from an early age in urban communities.

Abstract: Character education has become a critical challenge in secondary education, particularly in learning contexts that emphasize cognitive achievement over affective and behavioral development. Although Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is widely recognized for its potential to foster collaboration and responsibility, character outcomes are often treated implicitly and rarely evaluated systematically. This study aims to develop and evaluate a character-oriented Project-Based Learning framework using a Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology in Islamic secondary education. The research was conducted through iterative design cycles involving problem analysis, instructional design, implementation, evaluation, and refinement. Explicit character indicators were embedded into each phase of the PjBL process and assessed using quantitative and qualitative instruments. Statistical analysis of pretest and posttest data revealed significant improvements in students’ character-related outcomes following the implementation of the proposed framework. Qualitative findings further indicated enhanced student engagement, collaboration, and social responsibility during project activities. The results demonstrate that integrating explicit character indicators into PjBL through a DBR approach enhances the effectiveness of character education beyond conventional instructional practices. This study contributes to the literature by providing a structured and empirically validated framework that bridges Project-Based Learning, Design-Based Research, and character education. The proposed framework offers practical implications for educators seeking to integrate affective learning objectives into active learning environments.

This study examines the implementation of an Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning model based on Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and collaborative approaches in shaping students’ noble character at SD Negeri Besuk Kidul, Besuk District. The study is grounded in the research gap that PAI learning in elementary schools is often still dominated by conventional, teacher-centered methods that emphasize cognitive achievement while providing limited space for the internalization of moral values through authentic learning experiences. This research aims to analyze how PjBL and collaborative learning are designed and implemented in PAI instruction and to explore their contribution to students’ character development. A qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design was employed. The research subjects included the school principal, a PAI teacher, and elementary school students. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using an interactive data analysis model. The findings reveal that the integration of project-based and collaborative learning in PAI instruction enhances students’ noble character, particularly in terms of honesty, discipline, responsibility, cooperation, respect, and social awareness. Students actively engage in learning activities, apply Islamic values in real-life contexts, and demonstrate positive behavioral changes both in and outside the classroom. These results indicate that Project-Based Learning and collaborative approaches constitute an effective and meaningful strategy for strengthening character education in PAI at the elementary school level.

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) faces serious challenges from the crisis of integrity and trust in the digital era, which is manifested in the weakening of social solidarity (ukhuwah) and the emergence of a toxic social environment due to disinformation and fragility of commitment. This study aims to analyze and formulate an implementation model for the values ​​of Shiddiq (honesty and truth) and Amanah (trustworthiness and responsibility) in PAI, as well as to examine their role in building Ukhuwah and a Positive Social Environment among students. The method used is library research with a qualitative-analytical approach, involving a critical review of relevant scientific literature, journals, and books. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of these two prophetic values ​​must be carried out transformatively through integrated Project Based Learning (PjBL) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) methods, not merely cognitive transfer, but through real practice. The value of Shiddiq plays a central role in building trust and countering hoaxes, while Amanah ensures commitment and social responsibility, which collectively strengthen the bonds of ukhuwah. These findings imply the urgency of developing an Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum that is responsive to digital ethics and strengthens teacher exemplary behavior (uswah hasanah) as a model of integrity. It is recommended that future research conduct empirical tests of the proposed implementation model to strengthen the generalizability of the findings.

This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to improve artificial intelligence (AI) literacy in students majoring in Visual Communication Design (DKV) at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Palembang through Canva-based training.

The persistent issue of high youth unemployment among Senior High School (SHS) graduates necessitates cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset through formal education, making Entrepreneurship Education (EE) a national strategic imperative. This Systematic Literature Review (SLR) critically analyzed 15 empirical articles, selected via the strict PRISMA protocol, to evaluate the effectiveness of diverse EE curriculum models in enhancing students' Entrepreneurial Interest (Intention) and Attitude. The key finding is that EE implementation is substantially effective only when executed through active, experience-based pedagogical models such as Experiential Learning, Project-Based Learning (PjBL), and the Teaching Factory which are superior in fostering practical competency and significantly boosting Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and positive Attitude, consistent with the Theory of Planned Behavior. Successful implementation also critically depends on robust operational factors, including structured curriculum management (e.g., PDCA cycle) and the availability of competent teachers. In conclusion, the findings provide a strong evidence-based framework, recommending that policymakers prioritize experiential models and integrate modern elements like Digital Literacy and Non-cognitive Skills to produce SHS graduates with genuine entrepreneurial readiness.

This study examines the implementation of Project Based Learning (PjBL) in enhancing students’ understanding of moral values in Islamic Religious Education at the tenth grade of MA Yapina. The research is motivated by the urgent need to strengthen character education through learning experiences that are meaningful, contextual, and aligned with the challenges of contemporary moral degradation. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study analyzes learning activities, instructional documents, and students’ project outputs to explore how PjBL shapes their comprehension of akhlak as both knowledge and practiced behavior. Findings indicate that PjBL encourages active participation, collaboration, creativity, and reflective thinking, enabling students to interpret moral values through real-life situations and group-based problem solving. Projects assigned to students, such as posters, videos, and thematic presentations, foster deeper understanding because they require the integration of moral concepts into practical tasks. The role of the teacher as a facilitator further supports the learning process by guiding students in inquiry and project management. Despite challenges such as variation in student discipline and time constraints, the overall implementation of PjBL demonstrates positive effects on students’ cognitive and affective grasp of moral values. This study underscores the relevance of PjBL as an innovative pedagogical model for Islamic Religious Education and highlights its potential for strengthening character formation in madrasah settings. It also suggests the need for further research involving direct classroom observations and interviews to enrich empirical evidence on the long-term impact of PjBL on student character development.
