project activity

The article provides a theoretical analysis of the problem of implementing project activity in the educational process of primary school. The latest publications on the problem are studied and a discussion of scientists on the analysis of such categories as "project activity", "project method", "interactive interaction", "project skills and abilities" is presented. The particularities of the functioning of project activity from a psychological and pedagogical perspective are determined. It is stated that the specified activity is implemented in the course of introducing the “project method” into the educational process, which is defined by scientists in different ways: as a specific practice of teachers' work aimed at forming a certain system of intellectual and practical skills in students; as a comprehensive teaching method; as a pedagogical technology; as a learning system. It is noted that the definition of the project method as a comprehensive teaching method is based on its vision as a set of methodological techniques of a exploratory nature aimed at achieving a certain educational goal. It is stated that in the course of project activity, the project skills of primary school teachers are developed, which include the following: to carry out prospective planning of strategic, tactical and operational tasks and methods of solution; to foresee possible options for solving a system of pedagogical tasks; to outline the results that need to be achieved in the course of performing a particular work; to set and to implement the goals of independent work. It is determined that forming project activity of younger schoolchildren proceeds in several stages: first they get acquainted with a new type of activity, realizing its content; then they master it in a partial format; finally, they independently develop educational projects. The prospects for further scientific explorations are identified as a research into practical ways of implementing the project activity of younger schoolchildren by using innovative digital tools.

This article develops a professional development approach that uses digital management projects to strengthen the managerial competence of vocational education leaders. The aim is to design a mechanism for transferring learning from a short training module into everyday management practice. The article employed documentary analysis of theoretical and methodological materials and compared them with primary sources on constructive alignment, the transfer of acquired knowledge to professional practice, and digital competence frameworks. The units of analysis are curriculum topics, allocated learning time, management actions and verifiable practical outputs. The documented module comprises twelve hours, equally divided between theoretical and practical sessions; its table does not specify independent study hours. A sequence of problem identification, solution modelling, bounded implementation and reflective analysis is proposed. The classroom module is linked to twenty-four hours of workplace project activity, producing a proposed thirty-six-hour pathway. Expected outputs include a decision rationale, a data dictionary, a monitoring table and an improvement plan. The contribution is an explicit instructional connection between learning a digital tool and substantiating a management decision. The proposed pathway has not undergone a new experimental evaluation. Conditions for subsequent testing and limitations of the design are specified

Economics learning at the junior high school level plays a strategic role in building students' economic literacy, yet national and international assessment data indicate a declining trend in the literacy and engagement of Indonesian students. This study aims to describe the actual conditions of economics learning in junior high schools in Jakarta, covering teachers' instructional backgrounds, the characteristics of circulating teaching modules, and student engagement patterns, as an empirical foundation for model development. A descriptive qualitative design was applied. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with social studies teachers and students, classroom observation, and document analysis of circulating economics teaching modules, then analysed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana with source and technique triangulation. The findings show that most social studies teachers do not hold an economics education background, that most modules neither scaffold mastery experience gradually nor address the physiological-emotional dimension of learning, and that behavioural, emotional, cognitive, and agentic engagement indicators appear only sporadically. These conditions provide the rational basis for six characteristics of the Student Engagement Project-Based Learning model, namely contextual economic problems, project activity, collaboration, student autonomy, graduated scaffolding, and structured reflection.

یادگیری اقتصاد در سطح مدارس متوسطه اول نقش راهبردی در ارتقای سواد اقتصادی دانش‌آموزان ایفا می‌کند، با این حال داده‌های ارزیابی‌های ملی و بین‌المللی نشان‌دهنده روند کاهشی در سواد و درگیری دانش‌آموزان اندونزیایی است. هدف این پژوهش توصیف شرایط واقعی یادگیری اقتصاد در مدارس متوسطه اول شهر جاکارتا، شامل پیشینه آموزشی معلمان، ویژگی‌های ماژول‌های آموزشی رایج و الگوهای درگیری دانش‌آموزان، به‌عنوان بنیان تجربی برای توسعه مدل است. این پژوهش با رویکرد کیفی توصیفی انجام شده است. داده‌ها از طریق مصاحبه‌های نیمه‌ساختاریافته با معلمان مطالعات اجتماعی و دانش‌آموزان، مشاهده کلاسی و تحلیل اسناد ماژول‌های آموزش اقتصاد جمع‌آوری و با استفاده از مدل تعاملی Miles، Huberman و Saldana و از طریق مثلث‌سازی منبع و روش تحلیل شدند. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که اکثر معلمان مطالعات اجتماعی دارای پیشینه تحصیلی در آموزش اقتصاد نیستند، اغلب ماژول‌ها تجربه تسلط تدریجی را پشتیبانی نمی‌کنند و به بعد فیزیولوژیک-هیجانی یادگیری نمی‌پردازند و شاخص‌های درگیری رفتاری، هیجانی، شناختی و عاملیت دانش‌آموزان تنها به‌صورت پراکنده مشاهده می‌شود. این شرایط مبنای منطقی برای شش ویژگی مدل یادگیری مبتنی بر پروژه با محوریت درگیری دانش‌آموز را فراهم می‌کند که عبارت‌اند از: مسائل اقتصادی زمینه‌ای، فعالیت پروژه‌ای، همکاری، خودمختاری دانش‌آموز، پله‌پله بودن حمایت آموزشی و بازتاب ساختاریافته.
