Abstract

Limited public access to accurate information about herbal plants remains a barrier to the proper use of traditional medicine. Some communities still rely on inherited knowledge that is not always accompanied by scientific information regarding the benefits, processing methods, dosages, and potential side effects of medicinal plants. This community service activity aims to improve access to information on traditional medicine by training and mentoring participants in using an Android-based herbal plant education application. The activity partners are communities in Makassar City, around herbal cultivation sites, who still use medicinal plants in their daily lives. The implementation method includes identifying partner needs, compiling educational content, developing an Android-based application using an Agile approach, providing application training, mentoring, and evaluating through functional testing and user questionnaires. The introduced application has key features, including a list of herbal plants, information on benefits and processing methods, an image-based plant scanner, educational videos, and details on cultivation locations. Black Box testing results indicate that all application features operate as designed. An evaluation of 15 respondents showed a feasibility level of 88.2%, categorized as very feasible. The results of the activity indicate that this application can serve as a digital educational tool, helping the public access information about herbal plants in an easier, more engaging, and more structured way. Furthermore, training and mentoring help the public use the application's features more effectively. Therefore, this application has the potential to support public access to more structured, easily understood information about herbal plants.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) to aid in the selection of outstanding students at Angkasa Maros High School. The TOPSIS method was selected for its capability to handle diverse criteria, enabling assessments based on academic and non-academic achievements, leadership qualities, and positive attitudes. Data were collected through observational and documentary methods, gathering student achievement data and other relevant factors, which were then inputted into the system to compute relative scores for each student based on predetermined criteria weights. This process resulted in a ranking of students according to their performance against these criteria. The research findings indicated that the DSS achieved an overall percentage score of 90.3% in selecting outstanding students using the TOPSIS method, demonstrating effective system implementation and significant benefits in the student selection process. The study's outcomes are expected to provide objective and accurate recommendations for selecting outstanding students at Angkasa Maros High School, serving as a guide for the school in identifying students with high potential and facilitating more effective and efficient decision-making. Additionally, the research offers valuable insights for Angkasa Maros High School to enhance educational quality, maximize student potential development, and produce graduates capable of competing at national and international levels.
