the kmb project in junior high school can be concluded that :
Teachers' perceptions of the implementation of the P5
Project are generally positive, especially in relation to the potential of

Pancasila. Teachers realize that through the environmental theme,
students can learn to care more about the environment around them, as
well as enrich their English vocabulary related to this topic. In addition,
the entrepreneurship theme was considered useful in teaching students
how to think creatively and independently, although some teachers
emphasized the need for more support, especially in terms of funding
and implementation time. The theme of culture and technology is also
seen by teachers as an important element in the implementation of
Project P5. Through cultural activities, such as local craft making and
art performances, students are taught to love and preserve their cultural
heritage. Meanwhile, technology is used as an effective tool to capture
students' interest and introduce them to modern skills. Teachers also
agree that students' active involvement in these projects is crucial,
although challenges such as students' lack of focus and limited
resources are often the main obstacles.

impact on students' character development. Teachers recognize that
themes such as environment, entrepreneurship, culture, technology and
social can help students build awareness of social responsibility,
independence, and critical and creative thinking skills. In addition,
these projects also provide opportunities for students to hone
communication and cooperation skills that are essential in the language
learning process. However, some challenges also arise in their
implementation. Teachers stated that the lack of resources, time, and
support in terms of capital in entrepreneurial projects is an obstacle. In
addition, students' lack of understanding and active involvement in
some projects is also an obstacle. Therefore, careful planning, intensive
mentoring and collaboration between teachers, students and the
community are needed to ensure the success of these projects in
achieving the desired educational goals.
