Amaliah: Jurnal Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (AJPKM) INTRODUCTION In this case.
Indonesia and Malaysia are participating in developing and realizing SDGs 4 to advance a country's success in achieving a prosperous and prosperous country.
Indonesia, in this case, is stated in the preamble to the 1945 Constitution, paragraph 4, which states that the Government of the State of Indonesia protects the entire Indonesian nation and all of Indonesia's blood and promotes general welfare, to educate the life of the nation, which is then stated in Article 31 and Article 32 of the 1945 Constitution, which states that every Indonesian citizen is obliged to receive equitable education, the government even provides twenty percent special funds for the implementation of education, this is a reference for education in Indonesia to always participate in achieving the SDGs so that Indonesia will move to become a developed country.
In this case, it is emphasized that.
UMN Al Washliyah will provide and seriousness participating in achieving SDGs point 4, especially the quality of education, with a focus on explaining project based learning combined with culture, culture in this case is linked to the shared culture of Indonesia, especially North Sumatra.
which is one of the areas that has Malay culture and Unisza in Malaysia also has Malay culture.
This will emphasize that the Indonesian side will strengthen information to partners that their culture can be linked in every lesson so that they can achieve a strong and civilized generation through Malay culture.
The solution offered in this community service is based on the research results of the Indonesian service team, this is a contribution to educational development partners without forgetting their origins and as a cultural country, namely Malay.

Mei 2025 existence of Malay culture is one of the keys to implementing this activity, active, fun, innovative and creative learning activities will arouse students' curiosity in carrying out learning, learning that is linked to everyday life or known as contextual learning and is linked to innovative learning syntax.
implemented, namely project based learning, activities that provide opportunities for students to be able to construct knowledge and achieve learning goals, this success will provide long-term memory for students, thus making it easier to produce material into learning outcomes (Lubis, et.
al, 2017.
Lubis, al, 2.
The research results also illustrate that digital social media is also a means of implementing learning which is used as learning multimedia, students not only learn using text books but can integrate social media as a learning medium and these results have also been applied to teachers in Indonesia who are changing the media social media becomes more positive .
METHOD
IMPLEMENTATION
This activity program uses culturebased project-based learning.
The inquiry activity that will be carried out is guided inquiry, meaning that this activity is carried out with a mentoring explanations on how to do and position students and lecturers as partners in this This activity is also combined with collaborative activities with discussion and question-and-answer forums that emphasize learning focus on achieving the SDGs, so that this activity is not just about listening but can produce creative and fun activities.
Amaliah: Jurnal Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (AJPKM) Based on the problems and professionalism in making graduation assessment standards, the steps will be carried out as follows:
Activity orientation In this phase, the service team prepares permits for partners, and prepares TOR for mentoring activities and other supporting activity needs this activity is carried out based on the MoU that has been carried out by both parties.

Focus Group Discussion (FGD) Before this activity took place, activities were carried out using Webex media to determine the flow of implementation of community service FGD activities were carried out for 2 months before carrying out the Cooperative Group (Tutor Collective Grou.
At this stage, the service team always holds discussions with partners after carrying out activities.
This activity is assisted by students with a focus on discussing the challenges and obstacles faced by tutors after receiving training and discussing developing materials as well as providing online learning that is capable of being used as a means and infrastructure for learning activities in Through the website of the Inspector General of the Ministry of Education and Culture.

Prince of Palembang and the Kingdom Srivijaya Singapore, when Parameswara, another Prince from Palembang, became the last king of Singapore before being displaced by the Majapahit attack and founded the state of Melaka which is part of the State of Malaysia today, accomplished traders and sailors from Makassar who traded all the way to Singapore and became the origin of Bugis Street, and Many people of Javanese and Minang descent have migrated and become permanent residents in both Malaysia and Singapore (Itjen, 2.
Learning that is linked to students' closest culture not only makes it easier for students to explain the material, but will store it in long-term memory, so that learning is no longer just about remembering but can be stored in memory, so that students are able to review it again if they have not studied, students will activate memory.
Generation Z.
Generation Alpha and Generation Beta will not forget the culture that is experiencing the current surge of technology.
Too much use of technology will result in the forgetting of one's culture, culture becomes the wealth of a country.

Mei 2025 memory or stored in long-term memory, if it is stored in long-term memory then that is where cognitive theory will occur, so that learning is not just about remembering what is conveyed but also understood and produced so that it can be recalled for a long time.
The learning process is one of the concepts that must be applied in learning so as to activate student activity, the ability to manage learning will be proof of success in achieving learning outcomes, both hard skills and soft skills.
Vygotsky explains that helping students learn from others is based on social constructivism.
Johnson & Johnson cooperative learning and Brown & Campione emphasize communities of learners and include four dimensions of pragmatic pedagogy: encouraging listening to others, design discussions, highlighting cultural norms, and Linn also explains that learning uses a variety of social structures, students must be trained to listen to others and Palinscar & Brown emphasize that think before responding Reciprocal emphasizes a community of learners observing and learning from examples, in design discussions, students must have time to Aureflect, incorporating other people's ideas, and crafting their contributions carefully rather than formulating imperfect arguments (Capraro, 2.
Thus, it can be confirmed that good learning has the strengths of thinking, socializing and responding well in learning, so that there is strengthening in every aspect of assessment, both cognitive, affective and psychomotor.
The question that arises now is how to develop a learning process that is integrated with the shared culture of Indonesia - Malaysia? Amaliah: Jurnal Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (AJPKM) The project assignments given to students provide students with the opportunity to be able to explore each problem to solve the problem, in accordance with the surrounding environment and this will make it easier to determine the project theme in the However, students experience many difficulties in discussing the project theme that must be completed, even though the theme is one of the benchmarks for the success of project assignments that must be completed by the end of the semester, based on field observations of 5 project groups in Semester II of the Mathematics Education Study Program at Al Washliyah Muslim Nusantara University.

confirmed by interviews with the team, the team stated that they had difficulty finding things that could be used as project tasks, the team first searched and watched YouTube discussions so that the search time for the project theme took a long .
Accuracy in determining themes in laboratory procedures.
This is also confirmed by the results of interviews, this is very closely related to the condition of students who do not understand 100% what they have to do, confusion in making decisions is the most basic determining a theme.
Team agreement in determining the The results of the interviews still show the same thing, students again do not understand the concept of matter in everyday life, one of which is that students' views still state that their view of chemistry is only about chemical dangers such as making bombs, the use of formaldehyde or mercury in cosmetics.
Present the project theme in front of the class.
The new learning atmosphere with new conditions of face-to-face interaction results in anxiety during presentations, which becomes anxiety because students are not ready to explain why the chosen theme is important and must be implemented, so that when the lecturer asks questions about the reasons for choosing the theme, the students do not master the chosen Project learning is very important to implement at this time, one of the results of research conducted states that PBL in the form of interdisciplinary based Table 1.
