PBL Strategy, Teacher Role, Project Design, Holistic AssessmentAbstract
This study aims to examine the implementation strategy of project-based learning (PBL) in facilitating Deep Learning at the SMA/SMK level in Yogyakarta using a descriptive qualitative approach. purposive sampling the research participants include: five teachers from the SMA/SMK education level who have experience implementing PBL for at least the last 2 years and twenty-five learners who have participated in project-based learning under the guidance of the participating teachers. Through interviews, observations, and document analysis, it was found that PBL significantly improved conceptual understanding and 21st century skills (critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, communication, creativity), as well as learning motivation. Key strategies included formulating authentic questions, learner autonomy, teacher facilitation, team collaboration, and self-reflection. PBL serves as a pedagogical philosophy that empowers students to become true learners, emphasizing a shift in the teacher's role to facilitator, robust project design, and holistic assessment to equip them to deal with future complexities.
