Abstract

Used cooking oil can be reused, one of which is to make liquid soap. Used cooking oil is first filtered and then clarified with activated carbon. This study aims to process used cooking oil into liquid soap by adding the red ginger extract to the formula. The method used in this research is the descriptive method. The results of this study showed that the liquid soap sample containing a red ginger extract did not meet the applicable standards based on several test parameters. Therefore, further research and development are needed to improve the composition of soap-making ingredients so that they can produce products that are more effective when used in everyday life.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered educational practices, leading to the widespread adoption of blended learning, which integrates face-to-face and online instruction. As schools transition into the post-pandemic era, blended learning has evolved from a crisis-response tool into a lasting pedagogical approach. This study aimed to investigate the challenges and innovations in implementing blended learning within post-pandemic classrooms in Indonesia. Using a qualitative research method, the study was conducted from January to March 2025 in three secondary schools and two higher education institutions representing diverse socio-economic and technological backgrounds. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and classroom observations involving 25 participants, including teachers, students, and administrators. The findings revealed significant challenges, such as unequal access to technology, difficulties in maintaining student engagement, and the need for pedagogical adaptation and professional development. However, the study also highlighted innovative practices, including the use of collaborative platforms, multimedia resources, and student-centered learning models that enhanced engagement and independent learning. Teachers reported a transformation in their roles, shifting from content deliverers to learning facilitators. Despite progress, both students and educators expressed the need for stronger support systems to navigate hybrid learning effectively. The study concludes that while blended learning offers flexibility and digital engagement opportunities, its sustainability depends on addressing technological, pedagogical, and human-centered challenges.

Abstract

The rapid growth of EdTech startups and integration into educational practices has led to hybrid classrooms combining traditional face-to-face teaching with digital tools. This transformation redefines the roles of teachers and learners, prompting a shift toward more flexible, personalized learning environments. This study explores the impact of EdTech startups on traditional learning models and how hybrid classrooms are reshaping these roles. Using a qualitative research methodology, data was collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observations, and document analysis in schools and EdTech hubs in Jakarta, Indonesia. The findings reveal that hybrid classrooms provide increased learner autonomy, personalized learning, and collaboration opportunities. However, they also highlight challenges such as digital inequities, teacher adaptation to new roles, and the need for ongoing professional development. Teachers are evolving into facilitators rather than traditional knowledge transmitters, yet they struggle with integrating new technologies effectively. The study concludes that EdTech tools while promising, require careful integration with human-centered teaching practices to ensure inclusivity and engagement. The research contributes to understanding how hybrid learning environments can be optimized to benefit both teachers and students. It offers educators and policymakers insights into the complexities of EdTech adoption in education.

Abstract

This community service initiative aimed to empower rural communities by enhancing financial literacy and introducing micro-budgeting practices. The background of the study stems from the persistent challenge of financial instability in rural areas, where individuals often struggle with irregular incomes and limited access to formal financial services. The primary objective was to equip participants with practical financial management skills to reduce their dependency on informal loans and improve their financial decision-making. The method employed was a participatory approach using micro-budgeting training, which included hands-on budgeting, savings, and expense-tracking exercises adapted to the local economic context. The results showed a significant improvement in participants' ability to manage their finances, with notable reductions in reliance on informal lending and an increase in savings habits. Participants reported higher levels of financial confidence, particularly women, who gained greater financial autonomy. However, challenges remained in maintaining savings habits long-term due to irregular incomes. The initiative's contribution lies in providing a sustainable model for rural financial empowerment that goes beyond traditional microfinance by focusing on daily financial management. It highlights the importance of tailored financial education and community-driven learning for long-term economic stability. Future programs should incorporate personalized support and advanced financial strategies to enhance such initiatives' effectiveness further.
