Guide P5: 5 Things Teachers and Schools Need to Pay Attention to Teachers and schools often misunderstand the application of profile projects. According to Pima, Here are five things teachers need to know about the profile project in order to achieve student competence. 1. Starting from student concerns, profile projects are cross-disciplinary projects based on community needs or problems in the environment of each school.. Therefore, the project must start from a problem, anxiety, or students' challenges to their surroundings. 2. You don't have to be in a group. Student competencies can be achieved both individually and in groups. Profile project learning should be able to facilitate students to learn independently individually, small group, or large groups, adapt to conditions and needs.

Must be Differentiated Project-based learning gives students the opportunity to go through a different learning process, different readiness, and different products. Pima confirmed, 4. Student Independent Study Profile projects allow students to understand concepts through practice, learn to search for information independently. The teacher does not need to explain everything to the students. Mistakes are normal and can be discussed together. 5. This is different from making a project. Making a project only focuses on the goal of making goods. Meanwhile, profile project learning focuses on the process because the goal is competence. Students go through the process of defining the problem, generate ideas, create a prototype, and testing.
