Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic requires student and teacher to do distance learning/online learning to prevent the formation of new cluster of the spread of the Corona virus. Without face-to-face learning, teacher’s role as a facilitator will be minimal. Therefore, teacher must be able to design an appropriate learning activity model to make effective and efficient learning. So that the objective of learning can be achieved optimally. One of them is by focusing home learning activity on life skill education regarding the Covid-19 pandemic through Project-Based Learning (PjBL). Project-Based Learning (PjBL) focuses on encouraging student to create interesting learning experience by thinking creatively and working together to create real project to solve problem faced through: (1) personal
