This research aimed to study the effect of community-based project learning models on promoting learning skills, evaluating skills in implementing arts, culture, and local wisdom projects, and studying students’ opinions on community-based project-based learning.

The statistics used in the research were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The results of the research found that a community-based project learning model promoted students’ learning skills with an overall average score at a very good level (x̅ = 4.62, S.D. 0.59). They had skills in implementing arts, culture, and local wisdom projects. The overall score was at a very good level (x̅ = 4.79, S.D. 0.52). When comparing project skills after organizing the activity, it was significantly higher than before organizing the activity at a statistical level of .05. The overall score was at a very good level (x̅ = 4.75, S.D. 0.61).
