Pemberdayaan Guru SD Gugus Muh Syafe’i melalui Meaningful, Mindful, and Joyful, Learning (MMJL) dan Personalized Counseling Approaches untuk Meningkatkan Implementasi Deep Learning

Abstract

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in elementary schools requires teachers to design learning that emphasizes deep learning. This type of learning goes beyond cognitive aspects, focusing on cultivating critical thinking, mindfulness, and positive attitudes among students. Teachers in the Muh Syafe’i Cluster, Pringapus District, Semarang Regency, face challenges in integrating the principles of Meaningful, Mindful, and Joyful Learning (MMJL) into their teaching, while also addressing increasingly complex non-academic problems among students. This community service program aims to empower teachers through training and mentoring on MMJL, complemented with basic counseling skills using Personalized Counseling Approaches (PCA). The program was carried out using an Organizational Learning (OL) approach consisting of four stages: socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization. The activity took place at SDN Klepu 01 on May 31, 2025, involving 62 teachers and principals. Results showed significant improvement in teachers’ competencies, with mastery of MMJL increasing from 73.5% to 96.5% and PCA from 74% to 96%. In addition, 83.9% of teachers successfully integrated MMJL into lesson plans, while 78% demonstrated adequate counseling skills during classroom simulations. These findings indicate that the program effectively strengthened teachers’ ability to design MMJL-based learning and apply PCA to address students’ non-academic problems.
