Abstract

Suci Village, located in the Panti District of Jember Regency, boasts an abundance of coffee potential that has largely been underutilized for commercial purposes. To increase its added value and empower the local community, the Community Partnership Program (PKM) introduced a training program for producing coffee-based aromatherapy candles at Sekolah Alam Nusantara. The program employed a participatory approach, involving 20 participants, primarily homemakers, and consisted of three stages: material delivery, hands-on practice, and evaluation. Pre- and post-tests were used to evaluate knowledge improvement. The results demonstrated a substantial increase in community knowledge and skills. Before the training, only 25% of the participants were familiar with aromatherapy candles. After the program, however, all of the participants understood their benefits and basic production techniques. The candles produced exhibited a distinctive coffee aroma, functional value, and potential to become environmentally friendly, flagship products of Suci Village. This initiative strengthened the community's capacity to utilize natural resources, encouraged creative entrepreneurship, and supported circular economy practices. This study contributes to the literature on community empowerment by demonstrating how local commodities, such as coffee, can be transformed into valuable products. Furthermore, the study provides a replicable model for sustainable rural development through skill-based training and product innovation.

Abstract

One of the 21st-century competencies is digital literacy. However, science assessment in junior high schools is less integrated with digital literacy and contextual content. Few studies examine integrating literacy assessment tools with local wisdom and interactive platforms, such as Nearpod. This gap highlights the need for innovative, context-based digital assessment tools. This research aims to develop a digital literacy assessment tool in Nearpod using coconut shell processing on the topic of substances and their transformations. It used a Research and Development (RD) model modified from the Borg and Gall model, with eight phases: needs analysis, planning, instrument design, expert validation, initial revision, small-scale testing, product revision, and large-scale field testing. The tool included a series of multiple-choice items in an interactive Nearpod format. Findings show very high validity. Out of 50 items, 20 of them were valid in the small-scale test and were all valid in the large-scale test. Items were well discriminated and of equal difficulty. By combining locally relevant content with Nearpod-based assessments, this research highlights a previously underexplored area in science assessment, resulting in a culturally meaningful and digitally engaging instrument for junior high school students.
