Abstract

The integration of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) into Indonesian language instruction remains significantly underdeveloped among teachers in remote regencies of Bengkulu province. This community service study reports on a structured mentoring program targeting Indonesian language teachers affiliated with the Subject Teacher Deliberation Forum (Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran, MGMP) in Rejang Lebong Regency. Conducted from February to September 2024, the program employed a five-phase participatory model comprising needs analysis, module development, workshop implementation, classroom mentoring, and outcome evaluation. A total of 38 teachers participated across junior and senior secondary levels. Pre- and post-test assessments and classroom observation rubrics were deployed to measure competency gains. Findings demonstrate substantial improvement in teachers’ theoretical understanding of PBL principles, practical lesson plan design capabilities, and self-efficacy in managing student-centered inquiry environments. The study concludes that sustained academic-practitioner partnerships are essential for embedding innovative pedagogy in regional teacher communities.
