PBL- and PjBL-Based Learning Innovations to Realize Graduate Profiles and Meaningful Learning Toward Quality Education

As part of their commitment to improving the quality of education and ensuring the successful implementation of the “Merdeka Belajar” policy, two teams of faculty members from the Biology Education Study Program at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sriwijaya University (FKIP Unsri) carried out a Community Service program titled “PBL- and PjBL-Based Learning Innovations to Realize Graduate Profiles and Meaningful Learning Toward Quality Education.” This series of mentoring activities was held at Srijaya Negara High School in Palembang—the Sriwijaya University Lab School—from October 17 to November 8, 2025.

The program was divided into two mentoring focuses to accelerate the pedagogical competencies of secondary school educators. Team I, led by Nike Anggraini, S.Pd., M.Sc., along with Dr. Meilinda, M.Si., Dr. Mgs. Tibrani, M.Si., Lucia Maria Santoso, M.Si., Muhammad Khoirul Antony, M.Pd., and Christina Vivid Handayani, M.Si., focused on guiding teachers in developing Problem-Basedand Project-Based Learning (PjBL) that are integrated with the Pancasila Student Profile to foster students’ critical, creative, and collaborative thinking skills.

Meanwhile, Team II, chaired by Susy Amizera SB, S.Pd., M.Si., with members Drs. Khoiron Nazip, M.Si., Drs. Kodri Madang, M.Si., Ph.D., Dr. Ermayanti, M.Si., Putri Setioningrum, S.Pd., M.Pd., and Miftahul Khairah, M.Si., provided technical guidance on the development of digital teaching materials based on PjBL and PBL. This training was designed to support the implementation of the deep learning approach in the classroom so that students’ learning experiences become far more interactive, contextual, and meaningful in the digital age.

During the closing session on November 8, 2025, the FKIP Unsri service team presented a grant for technology support in the form of one Canon Pixma Ink Efficient G2730 printer to Srijaya Negara High School in Palembang. Through this ongoing collaboration between university faculty and teachers at partner schools, educators are expected to become increasingly skilled at designing innovative learning ecosystems focused on strengthening character and improving graduate profiles.
