Abstract

Indonesian Schools Abroad (SILN) face challenges in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, particularly at the Indonesian School Riyadh (SIR) operating in Saudi Arabia. Limited human resources, infrastructure, and cultural adaptation are primary obstacles faced by Physical Education, Sport, and Health (PJOK) teachers. This community service (PkM) activity aims to enhance the capacity of PJOK teachers at SIR through Project Based Learning (PjBL) training within the Merdeka Curriculum framework. The implementation method included needs assessment, material preparation, theoretical training, simulation, and evaluation. The activity was conducted on September 29, 2024 at the Indonesian School Riyadh, attended by two lecturers from FIKK Unesa, one PJOK teacher, and six practicum teachers. Evaluation results showed excellent quality across all aspects: materials (94%), organization (96%), facilities (90%), and presenter competence (98%), with a total average of 95%. Achieved outputs include mass media publications and an HKI-registered poster. This PkM activity contributed significantly to improving PJOK teacher competence in implementing PjBL to increase students' daily physical activity aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum principles.
