Through PjBS, schools serve a number of project categories according to the interests and talents of students. Students would be challenged to create works according to their creativity.
Students turned out excellent in making songs, paintings, and even furniture using raw materials or used goods. In addition, Gus Arnawa also spoke about differentiated learning materials and socio-emotional learning, two main things in activating teacher programs.
"For differentiated learning, we have to design learning programs according to the student's learning profile, according to learning readiness, then based on their interest. So we have to design student-centered learning," he explained.
"Socio-emotional, it's about how to design learning so that self-awareness, social awareness, and others can be formed," he concluded.
