INTRODUCTION Education has an important role in shaping students' character and competence. One of the subjects that students must master is Indonesian, which functions as the main communication tool and forms thought patterns. However, many students experience difficulties in understanding Indonesian language material, especially in the aspects of reading and writing. Therefore, a learning model is needed that is able to increase student involvement and participation in the learning process. Education is a fundamental need for humans, because at birth, humans are helpless and have not yet reached maturity. In a broader view, education includes the development of various dimensions in humans, such as conscience, values, feelings, knowledge and Through this process, each aspect of personality is processed and developed to achieve greater educational goals, namely producing individuals who develop holistically both mentally, physically and socially (M. Agus et al. , 2. Indonesian language education at the elementary school level has an important role in shaping students' language skills, especially writing skills. However, student learning outcomes in the writing element are still relatively low. This is caused by less innovative learning methods and a lack of use of technology in the teaching and learning process. Therefore, the application of the learning model Project-Based Learning (PjBL) based on Canva is an alternative solution to improve student learning outcomes. Model Project Based Learning (PjBL) is an innovative learning method that emphasizes project-based learning. Through this model, students are actively involved in planning, implementing and completing learning projects. The main aim of this research is 230 | Improving Indonesian Language Learning Outcomes by Using the Canva-Based PjBL Learning Model for Class 5 Students' Writing Elements . UPTD SDN 35 Barru (M. Agu. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 to improve the learning outcomes of grade 5 students at UPTD SDN 35 Barru using the PjBL learning model with the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method. THEORETICAL STUDY Project-Based Learning (PjBL) Learning Model PjBL is a learning approach that actively involves students in completing real projects that are relevant to the subject matter (Kemendikbud, 2. PjBL has main stages, namely: Determination of fundamental questions . Project planning . Project implementation . Project monitoring and evaluation . Reflection Canva in Learning Canva is a digital-based graphic design platform that makes it easier for teachers and students to create interesting and creative learning materials or products. Using Canva in PjBL helps students express creative ideas in visual form which can increase motivation and learning outcomes. Writing Skills in Indonesian Writing is an important element in learning Indonesian which includes the ability to express ideas systematically and clearly in the form of written text. Writing is a form of indirect communication that involves the transfer of ideas or feelings by utilizing characters, language structures, and word choice, using signs or symbols that can be understood according to the meaning represented by these symbols (M. Agus et al. , 2. Learning outcomes Learning outcomes are changes that occur in students after following the learning These changes can include aspects of knowledge . , skills . , and attitudes . Learning outcomes are indicators of the success of a learning process, where students are expected to be able to master the competencies set out in the learning objectives. RESEARCH METHOD This research used a Classroom Action Research (PTK) design which was carried out in two cycles. Research steps include: Planning: Prepare lesson plans based on PjBL and Canva. Implementation: Application of learning with PjBL stages and use of Canva. Observation: Observing student activities during the learning process. Reflection: Analyze learning outcomes and obstacles that occur for improvement in the next cycle. Research Subject: 12 class V students at UPTD SDN 35 Barru. Research Instruments: Learning results tests, observation sheets, and documentation. Data analysis: Data was analyzed quantitatively descriptively. RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION This research aims to improve Indonesian language learning outcomes in the writing element of class V UPTD SDN 35 Barru students through the application of the model 231 | Improving Indonesian Language Learning Outcomes by Using the Canva-Based PjBL Learning Model for Class 5 Students' Writing Elements . UPTD SDN 35 Barru (M. Agu. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 Project-Based Learning (PjBL) based on Canva. Based on the results obtained during the two cycles, there was a significant increase in student learning outcomes from cycle I to cycle II. In Cycle I, the average student score was 72. 3, with 7 students or 58% declared to have completed the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM), while 5 students or 42% had not yet completed. The main obstacles faced by students in this cycle include a lack of understanding of the use of Canva as a learning medium and students not being used to following the stages of the PjBL model. Apart from that, student involvement in learning is still relatively low, with some students appearing passive and less motivated in completing the given writing project. This results in learning outcomes that are not yet To overcome this problem, improvements were made in Cycle II, including providing more intensive assistance in using Canva, simplifying learning instructions, and distributing tasks more effectively and structured. The results of these improvements show significant improvements. The average student score increased to 85. 7, with 11 students or 92% declared complete, while only 1 student or 8% had not yet reached the KKM. This improvement is not only visible in student learning outcomes, but also in students' active involvement in the learning process. If in cycle I students were still confused and less active, in cycle II students seemed more enthusiastic, creative and enthusiastic in completing writing projects. They are also more adept at utilizing Canva's features to organize and design their work, which simultaneously increases students' creativity and technology skills. These results indicate that the applicability of the model Project-Based Learning Canva-based has a positive impact on improving student learning outcomes, especially in the writing element. By using this approach, students not only gain a deeper understanding of the learning material, but also gain critical, creative and collaborative thinking skills in completing projects. Apart from that, using Canva as a learning medium has succeeded in attracting students' interest and making the learning process more interesting, fun and relevant to current technological developments. Thus, the Canva-based PjBL model has proven to be effective in improving Indonesian language learning outcomes in the writing element of class V UPTD SDN 35 Barru students.

Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) Understanding the Use of Canva Low e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 Good Increased Based on the table above, it can be seen that student learning outcomes experienced a significant increase between Cycle I and Cycle II. In Cycle I, the average student score 3, with 7 students or 58% declared complete according to the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM), while 5 students or 42% had not yet completed. At this stage, students' skills in using Canva are low and there is a lack of understanding of the model stages Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is the main obstacle that causes student involvement to still be considered moderate. Students tend to be passive and not optimal in completing the given writing project. After improvements were made in Cycle II, learning outcomes showed a significant The average student score increased to 85. 7, and 11 students or 92% succeeded in reaching the KKM. Meanwhile, only 1 student or 8% has not yet finished. This improvement was achieved through more intensive assistance in using Canva, simplifying instructions, and increasing student motivation by providing concrete examples and regular evaluations. Student participation has also increased, where students look more active, creative and enthusiastic in completing their projects. In addition, students' understanding of using Canva has increased sharply. If in cycle I students still had difficulty using Canva features, in cycle II students became more adept at designing their written work in a more interesting and creative way. This shows that the use of technological media such as Canva in the PjBL approach not only improves learning outcomes, but also encourages students' technological skills. Overall, the applicability of the model Project-Based Learning Canva-based has succeeded in improving student learning outcomes in Indonesian language subjects, especially in writing elements. Apart from having a positive impact on academic results, this model also increases student engagement, creativity and understanding of technology that is relevant to current developments. CONCLUSION Application of the model Project-Based Learning (PjBL) based on Canva has proven to be effective in improving Indonesian language learning outcomes in the writing element of class V students at UPTD SDN 35 Barru. The research results showed a significant improvement, with the average student score increasing from 72. 3 in cycle I to 85. 7 in cycle II. Apart from that, the number of students who achieved the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) also increased from 58% to 92%. This increase shows that the use of Canva in the PjBL approach has succeeded in increasing students' understanding, creativity and involvement in learning. SUGGESTION Teachers should continue to optimize the use of Canva in teaching writing by providing additional training regarding Canva's more in-depth features. Further evaluation regarding the influence of the technology-based PjBL model on other aspects of Indonesian language learning also needs to be carried out. The use of this model can be extended to other subjects to improve students' skills in various aspects of learning.
