Abstract

This study aims to provide information on the implementation of developing students' social skills, especially in the context of 21st century skills, which include the ability to communicate, collaborate , think critically, and adapt to change. This evaluation is important to ensure that the curriculum implemented can meet the needs of students' social and emotional development and prepare them to face increasingly complex global challenges. By conducting this evaluation study, it is expected to find areas that need to be improved or adjusted, so that the curriculum can be more effective in supporting the formation of social skills needed in students' social and professional lives in the future. The implementation of project-based co-curricular learning as an implementation of the curriculum in Senior High Schools in developing students' social skills is carried out through: selecting project themes, project contextualization, project implementation strategies, through several approaches, namely: (1) multidisciplinary-based, (2) collaboration-based, (3) inquiry-based, and (4) simulation-based.

However, there were findings in the assessment process carried out by the high school that was the location of the research, that the educational unit as a whole did not carry out feedback techniques as a pattern for providing monitoring and follow-up on project implementation with the aim of developing the social skills of students.
