Abstract

This community service program aims to improve teachers' pedagogical competence and strengthen collaboration between teachers and school committees in implementing the Independent Curriculum in vocational high schools through a deep learning approach. The activity focused on two partner schools, SMK Putra Bangsa Salatiga and SMK Bina Nusantara Ungaran, which were selected because initial assessments indicated that teachers' understanding of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) design and practice, as well as the integration of deep learning values, was still limited. The program lasted four months (September–December 2025) using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which actively involved participants from needs identification, training, mentoring, to reflective evaluation. The activity involved 48 teachers and 10 school committee members. The results showed a 34.2% increase in teachers' ability to design and implement PjBL and a 29.5% increase in teacher-committee collaboration based on a paired t-test (p < 0.05). Observations and interviews also demonstrated increased teacher motivation and creativity in implementing the deep learning approach, particularly in strengthening students' character, independence, and critical thinking.

Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilaksanakan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogik guru serta memperkuat kolaborasi antara guru dan komite sekolah dalam implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka di Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) melalui pendekatan pembelajaran mendalam (deep learning). Kegiatan ini difokuskan di dua sekolah mitra, yaitu SMK Putra Bangsa Salatiga dan SMK Bina Nusantara Ungaran, yang dipilih berdasarkan hasil asesmen awal menunjukkan masih terbatasnya pemahaman guru terhadap desain dan praktik project-based learning (PjBL) serta integrasi nilai-nilai deep learning dalam proses pembelajaran. Program dilaksanakan selama empat bulan, mulai September hingga Desember 2025, dengan menggunakan metode Participatory Action Research (PAR) yang menekankan keterlibatan aktif peserta dalam setiap tahapan kegiatan, mulai dari identifikasi kebutuhan, pelatihan, pendampingan, hingga evaluasi reflektif. Kegiatan melibatkan 48 guru dan 10 anggota komite sekolah. Hasil pelaksanaan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam kemampuan guru dalam merancang dan mengimplementasikan pembelajaran berbasis proyek sebesar 34,2%, serta peningkatan kolaborasi antara guru dan komite sekolah sebesar 29,5% berdasarkan hasil uji paired t-test (p < 0,05). Selain itu, observasi dan wawancara mendalam menunjukkan peningkatan motivasi dan kreativitas guru dalam mengintegrasikan pendekatan pembelajaran mendalam pada kegiatan kelas, terutama dalam penguatan karakter, kemandirian, dan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa. Program ini juga menghasilkan terbentuknya jejaring kolaboratif antara kedua SMK mitra dengan Universitas Ngudi Waluyo sebagai pusat inovasi pembelajaran kejuruan. Secara keseluruhan, kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa sinergi antara guru, komite, dan perguruan tinggi mampu memperkuat implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka dan menciptakan ekosistem pembelajaran yang lebih reflektif, adaptif, serta berorientasi pada pengembangan kompetensi abad ke-21.
