Abstract

Improving students' academic performance is a primary focus in higher education, with discipline in studying being a key factor that affects academic success. However, many students face challenges in time management and developing effective study habits. Therefore, this community service activity aims to socialize strategies for enhancing academic performance through study discipline. The socialization was carried out through workshops and seminars, covering topics such as time management, effective learning techniques, intrinsic motivation, and the use of digital technology to support learning. The activity involved students from various majors selected through purposive sampling, focusing on students with lower to moderate GPAs and those who lacked effective study habits. The evaluation was conducted using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The results of the pre-test and post-test showed a significant improvement in students' understanding of study discipline, with an average score increase of 28.75 points. Qualitative evaluation also revealed positive changes in students' study habits, such as better time management, avoiding procrastination, and using digital tools like time management applications. Furthermore, the level of student satisfaction with the activity was high, reaching 86.25%, indicating that most students found the socialization activity highly beneficial. Based on these results, this activity proved effective in enhancing students' study discipline and can serve as a model for improving learning outcomes in higher education. Moving forward, it is recommended to provide follow-up sessions and continuous support to help students consistently apply study discipline in their academic lives.

Abstract

The availability of clean water is a basic need that is vital for public health and well-being. However, communities living along the Deli Riverbanks in Medan face serious air quality issues due to household and industrial waste pollution. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to implement a simple clean water filtration technology that can be built with local materials, is easy to operate, and is affordable for lowland communities. The methods used include an initial air quality survey, training in building the filtration system, installation of units in residents' homes, and technical and social evaluations. The filtration system uses layered media consisting of palm fiber, gravel, fine sand, and activated charcoal in a plastic drum container. Laboratory tests showed that this system effectively reduced air turbidity from 78 NTU to 4 NTU and eliminated Escherichia coli contamination to 0 MPN/100 ml, approaching the national clean water quality standard. In addition to the technical aspects, this activity also had an impact on increasing community awareness of the importance of clean water and healthy lifestyles. The community satisfaction level with the quality of the filtered water reached over 90%, and the majority expressed a desire to replicate the system independently. This activity demonstrates that locally based appropriate technology can be an effective solution in addressing clean water problems in poor urban areas, as well as strengthening community capacity and independence in managing water resources sustainably.
