INTRODUCTION Education in the era of globalization and industrial revolution 4. 0 faces increasingly complex challenges, especially in forming a young generation that is able to adapt to a world that continues to develop, is connected and full of diversity. The development of information technology and the flow of globalization require students not only to master academic aspects, but also to have 21st century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication. In addition, digital literacy, culture and global citizenship are important aspects that must be integrated into the education curriculum (Bilo et al. , 2. Responding to these challenges, the Ministry of Education. Culture. Research and Technology for 2020-2024 formulated a Pancasila student profile, which emphasizes six dimensions of character. One important dimension is global diversity, which reflects students' ability to appreciate and respect cultural diversity, identities, and be able to interact positively in an increasingly pluralistic global context (Fauzi et al. , 2. This dimension is important to strengthen the values of tolerance, empathy and social harmony in diverse life. However, the results of the Ministry of Education and Culture's survey show that only 32% of education units have implemented it well, while 59% need strengthening and 9% are at the most vulnerable level. Observations at UPT SMAN 3 1005 | The Influence of Project Based Learning on Strengthening the Dimensions of Global Diversity and Understanding the Concept of Pancasila Education for Class XI UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba Students (Ayuning Saraswat. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 Bulukumba reinforce these findings: class XI students' understanding of the concept of Pancasila only reached 57 %, and the global diversity score was 50 %, reflected by low levels of social participation, intercultural collaboration and respect for differences. In line with these challenges, the world of education requires innovative learning approaches that not only improve learning outcomes, but also shape character and skills for the 21st century. One relevant approach is the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model, because it provides space for students to learn actively through real projects that are relevant to their lives. This model develops critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication skills (Miharja et al. , 2. A number of studies such as (Shibgho & Alfiansyah, 2. and (Pratama et al. , 2. show Project Based Learning effectively improves learning outcomes and student character. However, most of these studies are limited to the elementary school level and have not specifically examined the influence of this model on strengthening the dimensions of global diversity and understanding the concept of Pancasila Education simultaneously at the high school education level. Based on this gap, this research offers novelty by examining in depth the effect of implementing the model Project Based Learning towards the dimensions of global diversity and understanding of the concept of Pancasila Education for class XI students at the high school level. This research adopts a project-based approach that is not only relevant to the local cultural context of students at UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba, but also integrates global insights. It is hoped that this approach can contribute to developing learning models that are adaptive to cultural diversity and able to instill the values of diversity in a global Therefore, this research aims to analyze how much influence the application of the Project Based Learning model which is contextualized in local culture and enriched with global insight has on strengthening the dimensions of global diversity and understanding the concept of Pancasila Education for class XI students at UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba. With this approach, research is expected to make a significant contribution in developing learning strategies that are relevant and responsive to global challenges while remaining rooted in local wisdom. RESEARCH METHOD This research is a type of quantitative research with a research design like an In research like an experiment There are 2 classes studied, namely the experimental class using a learning model Project Based Learning ,and the control class uses the conversion method. Research data collection techniques use questionnaires, tests and documentation. Before learning begins, both classes are given an initial test/prerespond, then both classes were given learning using the method described above. After that, at the end of the material in both classes, another final test/Post-respond, then after giving a post-response Especially for the experimental group, a questionnaire was given Project Based Learning (PjBL) to evaluate the implementation of this learning model. Apart from that, a questionnaire on the dimensions of global diversity was also given to measure the extent to which the dimensions of global diversity were obtained by students and a questionnaire on understanding the concept of Pancasila Education was given to both The Pancasila Education concept understanding questionnaire is used as a complementary instrument to support the results of the concept understanding test. The research was conducted at UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba with a total population of 294 with a sample of class XI. 1 & XI. 5 totaling 62 students. In this research the instruments 1006 | The Influence of Project Based Learning on Strengthening the Dimensions of Global Diversity and Understanding the Concept of Pancasila Education for Class XI UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba Students (Ayuning Saraswat.

A similar thing can be found in Table 3, where the average score for the ability to collaborate in diversity in the experimental class was 4. ery high categor. , while the control class reached 4. igh categor. These results indicate that the applicability of the model Project Based Learning (PjBL) is significantly more effective in increasing students' attitudes of tolerance and collaboration abilities in diversity, when compared to the learning method applied in the control class. These findings indicate that the applicability of the model Project Based Learning (PjBL) is more effective in increasing students' attitudes of tolerance and collaboration abilities in diversity compared to learning methods in control classes. Fig. 2 Student work results Application of learning models Project Based Learning (PjBL) has encouraged students to be more creative, think critically, and improve their collaborative skills in carrying out the task of making the Bhinneka Tunggal Ika poster. The results of the research show that there are significant differences in strengthening the dimensions of global diversity, especially in the aspects of tolerance in social life and the ability to collaborate in diversity, between students who use the PjBL model and students who follow conventional learning methods in class XI UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba. Then, the results of the test for understanding the concept of Pancasila Education showed significant differences between the experimental class and the control class. the pre-test, the average score of students in the experimental class was 53. 42, with the highest score being 71 and the lowest 40. Meanwhile, the average score of students in the control class was 52. 97, with the highest score being 69 and the lowest being 33. After implementing the learning model Project Based Learning (PjBL), the average 1008 | The Influence of Project Based Learning on Strengthening the Dimensions of Global Diversity and Understanding the Concept of Pancasila Education for Class XI UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba Students (Ayuning Saraswat.

On the other hand, the average post-test score in the control class only reached 77. 13, with the highest score being 88 and the lowest being 70. Fig. 3 Test Taking Test score data was analyzed using inferential statistics. Inferential Statistics data analysis is used to test hypotheses from learning outcomes. However, before testing the hypothesis you must first carry out a normality test and a homogeneity test. Table. 4 Normality Test Tests of Normality Shapiro-Wilk Class Statistic Say.

How is the Influence Project Based Learning towards strengthening the dimensions of global diversity, especially in the aspects of tolerance in social life and the ability to collaborate in diversity among class XI UPT students at SMAN 3 Bulukumba? And . How does the Project Based Learning model influence the understanding of the concept of Pancasila Education for class XI UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba students? This research shows that the application of the learning model Project Based Learning (PjBL) has a positive and significant influence on the two main aspects studied, namely the dimensions of global diversity and understanding of the concept of Pancasila Education. First, from the aspect of the global diversity dimension, the research results show that the application of the model Project Based Learning (PjBL) has a positive influence on strengthening these dimensions in class XI UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba students, especially in the aspects of tolerance in social life and the ability to collaborate in diversity. In the aspect of tolerance, students in the experimental class showed an increased attitude of respecting other people's opinions, felt comfortable interacting across cultures, understood the importance of tolerance, enjoyed helping friends, and respected differences of opinion in group discussions. The average questionnaire score in the experimental class was 4. 83, while the control class only This increase shows that project activities in learning provide space for students to interact actively and openly, thereby strengthening the values of tolerance in their social practices in the school environment. Meanwhile, in terms of the ability to collaborate in diversity, experimental class students also showed an increase in feeling proud of local culture, interest in studying other cultures, belief that diversity enriches social life, and efforts to create peace at school. With an average score of the experimental class reaching 4. 83, while the control class only got an average score of This shows that the model Project Based Learning encourages student involvement in activities that emphasize cooperation, mutual respect, and joint problem solving in the context of cultural diversity. Furthermore, students show real changes in attitudes, such as increased sensitivity to cultural diversity, openness in accepting new perspectives, and motivation to obtain learning that originates from diverse social Project activities provide a space for expression and active participation that encourages the internalization of the value of diversity as a wealth, not as an obstacle in the learning process. This is the foundation for forming the character of students as citizens who are inclusive, tolerant, and able to live side by side harmoniously in a plural society. This is in line with the theory of multicultural education according to 1011 | The Influence of Project Based Learning on Strengthening the Dimensions of Global Diversity and Understanding the Concept of Pancasila Education for Class XI UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba Students (Ayuning Saraswat. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 James A. Banks which states that multicultural education is a form of education that provides equal opportunities for all students to learn at school without distinguishing between gender, social background, ethnicity, race or culture. Multicultural education emphasizes the importance of respecting differences and treating diversity as something equal and valuable in shared life (Wahdiah et al. , 2. In this case, the application of the model Project Based Learning (PjBL) provides opportunities for students to interact with cultural diversity directly through projects that encourage collaboration and understanding between different groups, which in turn strengthens multicultural values in their daily lives. Second, this research also shows that the model Project Based Learning has a positive effect on students' understanding of the concept of Pancasila Education. Based on quantitative data, the average pre-test score in the experimental class was 53 and increased to 89. 8 in the post-test. Meanwhile, the control class which used conventional learning methods only experienced an increase from 52. 9 to 77. The more significant increase in the experimental class . 8 point. compared to the control class . shows that Project Based Learning more effective in increasing students' understanding of the basic concepts of Pancasila Education. This increase in understanding is supported by the results of a questionnaire, where as many as 80. of experimental class students stated that they understood Pancasila values better after participating in project-based learning. Model Project Based Learning encourage students to relate Pancasila values to their experiences and lives, both inside and outside By being involved in projects that are relevant to their social lives, students can understand Pancasila more deeply and contextually. This finding is in line with the constructivism theory put forward by Piaget and Vygotsky, which emphasizes the importance of learning based on experience and social interaction. Project Based Learning provide space for students to collaborate, identify social problems, and design solutions based on Pancasila values. In this way, students not only memorize the concepts of Pancasila, but they are also involved in applying these values in real life. This research supports the findings of previous research, such as Wahyuni . , (Pratama et al. , 2. , and (Sasmita & Hartoyo, 2. which shows that the Project Based Learning can increase students' understanding of subject matter, both in the context of Pancasila Education and other subjects. Implementation Project Based Learning also has an impact on aspects of students' motivation and affective development. Project activities encourage students to be more active, creative and independent. Based on the results of the questionnaire, more than 90% of students stated that they were motivated to seek additional information as part of the project. This shows increased initiative and learning independence. In line with the opinion of Nurfitriyani . in (Tibahary, 2. which states that project-based learning is able to increase learning motivation, encourage collaboration, and build critical thinking attitudes. Students become more involved emotionally and cognitively, resulting in a positive attitude towards the learning process. According to (Fatimah et , 2. , the Project Based Learning model provides students with the opportunity to be actively involved in learning through direct involvement in solving real problems. Through this approach, students not only understand the material in depth, but also develop critical thinking, collaboration and responsibility skills, which are part of 21st century skills. 1012 | The Influence of Project Based Learning on Strengthening the Dimensions of Global Diversity and Understanding the Concept of Pancasila Education for Class XI UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba Students (Ayuning Saraswat. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 Another affective aspect that develops is self-confidence. In the experimental class . 6%) strongly agreed that they felt more confident after participating in the lesson Project Based Learning, especially when presenting project results. This is in line with the opinion (Maharani et al. , 2. , that Project Based Learning provides meaningful experiences and activities that can increase learning activity and strengthen retention. In addition, (Purnomo & Ilyas, 2. stated that this model emphasizes the problem solving process which encourages students to be actively involved and produce products, thereby contributing to the development of soft skills such as public speaking and interpersonal communication. In project activities, students help and provide feedback to each other, allowing them to learn beyond the limits of their individual abilities with the support of peers. This indicates that the environment is collaborative in nature. Project Based Learning can encourage the achievement of students' maximum potential. Approach Project Based Learning very relevant to the Independent Curriculum which emphasizes learning differentiation and comprehensive student involvement: from planning, implementation, to reflection. This strengthens the internalization of national values and life skills in the long term. This research has important implications for the world of education, especially in the development of national character. Education is no longer enough to just transfer knowledge, but must also form social, emotional competencies and national values through authentic Model Project Based Learning proven capable of responding to these challenges effectively. However, this research has several limitations, including the limited time for project implementation, so that not all students' potential can be explored optimally. The level of student participation in group work is uneven, requires more intensive teacher assistance, and the sample is limited to one school, so the results cannot be widely Therefore, it is recommended to conduct further research with a more diverse school coverage and a longer learning duration, to ensure effectiveness Project Based Learning in the context of Pancasila Education it can be evaluated more Overall, the results of this research prove that learning with models Project Based Learning is effective in answering two main problem formulations, namely: . strengthening students' dimensions of global diversity and . increasing understanding of the concept of Pancasila Education. This model provides space for students to learn actively, reflectively and contextually, as well as fostering national character values that are relevant to 21st century life. Therefore. Project Based Learning is worthy of wider application in learning Pancasila Education and other subjects that are oriented towards developing students' holistic character and competence. CONCLUSION From the implementation of research in class XI UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba, it shows that the implementation of the learning model Project Based Learning contributes significantly and positively to two main aspects in learning Pancasila Education, namely strengthening the dimensions of global diversity and increasing understanding of concepts. The implementation of PjBL has been proven to be able to create a learning atmosphere that is participatory, collaborative, and relevant to students' real lives. Students show a marked increase in tolerance, ability to work together in diversity, and openness to other Project activities that emphasize social interaction and national values have 1013 | The Influence of Project Based Learning on Strengthening the Dimensions of Global Diversity and Understanding the Concept of Pancasila Education for Class XI UPT SMAN 3 Bulukumba Students (Ayuning Saraswat. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 succeeded in strengthening the global dimension of diversity, which is reflected in attitudes of mutual respect, respect for differences, and the spirit to create peace in the school On the other hand, this model also has a significant impact in increasing understanding of the concept of Pancasila education. Students are better able to relate material to social reality, as well as demonstrate a deeper and more contextual understanding of Pancasila values. This is supported by an increase in quantitative learning outcomes and positive responses from students towards a learning model that emphasizes active involvement. Apart from increasing cognitive understanding. PjBL also has an impact on students' affective aspects, such as increasing self-confidence, learning motivation, and critical thinking skills. Project-based learning encourages students to take initiative, be able to work collaboratively, and produce products that reflect their abilities and character values as students of Pancasila. Thus, the research results reveal that Project Based Learning is known as an effective and relevant learning approach to be applied in learning Pancasila education. Apart from only increasing academic achievement, it also strengthens national character and students' readiness to face the challenges of a plural and dynamic society. BIBLIOGRAPHY
