Abstract

This qualitative research examines the integration of local history and digital storytelling as pedagogical strategies to foster civic virtues and strengthen national identity among high school students in Indonesia. Employing thematic analysis of data collected through semi-structured interviews (n=42), focus group discussions (n=6), and classroom observations (n=24 sessions), the study investigated how these complementary approaches influence students' understanding of civic responsibilities, emotional connections to national heritage, and commitments to social participation. Findings revealed three interconnected themes: (1) local history as a bridge between individual identity and national consciousness, (2) digital storytelling as a mechanism for affective engagement and critical consciousness development, and (3) the collaborative learning environment as a catalyst for internalized civic virtues. Students demonstrated enhanced comprehension of how local contributions shaped national narratives, developed stronger emotional attachments to national identity, and expressed greater willingness to participate in civic activities. The study contributes to contemporary civic education discourse by demonstrating that when local historical narratives are mediated through digital storytelling practices, students develop more nuanced, emotionally resonant understandings of national identity and civic responsibility, transcending chronological fact-retention toward meaningful civic engagement.

Abstract

Chronic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, present a significant and growing public health burden in many developing regions, including rural Indonesia. Community Health Cadres (CHCs) are pivotal frontline health volunteers, yet they often lack the comprehensive knowledge and practical skills necessary for effective early detection and community-based management of these conditions. This community service program aimed to empower CHCs through an integrated health education intervention, employing a community-based participatory approach. The program was implemented in [Sebutkan Lokasi, misal: five villages in Yogyakarta] over a six-month period and involved 45 CHCs. The intervention comprised a series of structured training workshops, hands-on practice sessions using portable health devices (e.g., digital sphygmomanometers and glucometers), and the development of simple patient-record-keeping tools. The participatory approach ensured that the CHCs were actively involved in identifying local challenges and co-designing feasible solutions. Pre- and post-intervention assessments revealed a statistically significant improvement in the CHCs' knowledge scores (p < 0.001) and their practical competency in conducting basic health screenings. Furthermore, there was a notable increase in the number of community members referred to primary health centers for confirmatory diagnosis. This program demonstrates that empowering CHCs through targeted, integrated education, grounded in participatory principles, is a viable and effective strategy to strengthen primary healthcare systems. It enhances the capacity for early disease detection and promotes sustainable chronic disease management at the grassroots level, underscoring the critical synergy between community education and public health outcomes.
