Abstract

This community service program aimed to strengthen the competence of economics teachers and to improve student engagement in learning through training in lesson planning based on local wisdom and the use of interactive learning media at SMAK Syuradikara. The program adopted a participatory approach through needs analysis, workshop activities, guided practice, classroom implementation, and evaluation. The participants were economics teachers and selected students involved in trial implementation. The activities focused on the development of contextual lesson plans by integrating local economic practices, social values, and community-based examples into learning materials. The workshop also introduced simple interactive media such as digital modules, interactive presentations, and smartbook-style materials that could be used offline or online according to school conditions. The evaluation showed an improvement in teachers’ understanding of lesson planning, better quality of lesson plans, and higher student participation during trial lessons. The program produced several local-wisdom-based lesson plans, learning media drafts, and a practical guide for teachers. The results indicate that contextual and interactive learning design can strengthen the relevance, attractiveness, and effectiveness of economics learning in senior high school.

Abstract

Plastic waste management is one of the environmental problems that continues to grow in rural areas, including in Dile Village, Detusoko District, Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. This community service activity aims to utilize plastic waste into Ecobricks as material for making the Dile Village name icon, develop sustainable environmental education media, and increase public participation and awareness in plastic waste management. The activity was carried out on June 13, 2026, at the Dile Village office by 24 Semester VI students of the Economic Education Study Program, University of Flores, accompanied by lecturers. The method used is an implementative approach based on active participation with participatory observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The program was implemented through six stages, namely committee formation, initial observation, coordination with the village government, Ecobrick production, evaluation, and icon installation. The results of the activity showed that 700 plastic bottles were successfully processed into Ecobricks and assembled into an icon written "DILE VILLAGE", which was installed at the Dile Village Office. The presence of this icon has received a positive response from village officials and the community, as it strengthens the village's visual identity and serves as an educational tool regarding the importance of educational, aesthetic, and sustainable waste management. As a follow-up, this program is recommended for further development through community and village government involvement and replication in other villages facing similar plastic waste issues.
