Abstract

The ability to speak and express agreement and disagreement is an important aspect of English communication skills, as accuracy in delivering and responding to opinions directly affects the effectiveness of daily and academic interactions. This activity aims to introduce and train the sixth-semester students of the Management Study Program at STIE Sultan Agung Pematangsiantar in expressing agreement and disagreement appropriately, in both formal and informal contexts. The phenomenon underlying this activity is the students' tendency to only use simple expressions such as "I agree" or "I do not agree" without knowing other richer variations, as well as their difficulty in expressing disagreement politely to avoid conflict in communication. This activity uses a qualitative descriptive method with a presentation and interactive discussion approach. The data source consists of documentation from the presentation activity conducted in the Morning Management B class, Semester VI, at STIE Sultan Agung Pematangsiantar. The instrument used is a PowerPoint-based presentation material prepared by the author, which includes the definition of agreement and disagreement, strong and neutral expressions of agreement, firm and polite expressions of disagreement, and practice questions. Data collection was carried out through direct observation during the presentation, while data analysis was conducted descriptively based on observation notes and audience responses. The results of the activity show that classmates were able to understand and practice various expressions of agreement and disagreement well, as demonstrated by their active participation in discussions and accuracy in answering practice questions. In conclusion, this PowerPoint-based presentation is effective in increasing students' understanding and confidence in conveying and responding to opinions effectively, clearly, and politely in English.

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, prospective teachers are expected to master adaptive and innovative teaching competencies, particularly in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into learning processes. Mathematics instruction at the elementary level, which is often perceived as abstract, demands creative and contextual approaches that align with students’ developmental characteristics. This community service program was designed to strengthen the professional capacity of prospective mathematics teachers through intensive mentoring on the utilization of AI in lesson planning, instructional media development, and assessment design. Conducted face-to-face at STKIP Pangeran Antasari, the program employed training, hands-on practice, collaborative discussions, and sustained mentoring. The program outcomes demonstrate significant improvements in students’ abilities to apply AI in an effective, creative, and ethical manner, supporting the development of interactive, contextual, and student-centered learning in accordance with the Merdeka Curriculum. This initiative contributes strategically to preparing innovative and future-ready mathematics teachers capable of responding to the challenges of digital-era education.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to provide tactile sensory motor accompaniment and evaluate psychosocial responsiveness in children with cerebral palsy by exploring adaptive textile structures during the commemoration of National Cerebral Palsy Day. The activity was held on October 29, 2025, at the Yayasan Pejuang Cerebral Palsy, involving 59 children, along with lecturers and students from the Vocational Fashion Design Education Study Program of STKIP Pangeran Antasari. The methodology employed was Participatory Action Research (PAR) combined with Experiential Learning, focusing on structured sensory-friendly material delivery, creative hand-print design canvassing, and inclusive dynamic movements. Data collection instruments involved structured observation logs and qualitative caregiver review questionnaires. The results demonstrated that strategic exposure to variable fabric textures (velvet, corduroy, wool) significantly stimulated fine motor adjustments in hypotonic cases and provided tactile soothing for spastic symptoms, yielding a 95% total partner approval and satisfaction rate. In conclusion, active integration of vocational design knowledge within community rehabilitation effectively improves social inclusion and sensory motor capabilities among children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
