Abstract

Community Service Partners (PkM), namely the Abdurrahman Bin Auf Orphanage (PA. Abd R.) Nogosari District, Boyolali. P.A. Abd R. currently has 49 foster children (M=23; P=26). The main problem in PA. Abd R., knowledge related to visual literacy and creativity is less than optimal with a percentage of 42%. So that foster children have visual literacy competencies, they need development and assistance so that they can continue their education to a higher, superior and competent level. The aim of the PkM program is to empower PA foster children. Abd R. through socialization, mentoring, and displays of visual literacy creativity to form habits. The expected impact of this program is that foster child partners will have an understanding of the material, expertise, creativity and skills in making learning media. Methods for implementing the PkM program, namely socialization, mentoring and showing creativity. The results of PkM activities are 1) Increased awareness and interest in learning for foster children in a visual literacy culture through socialization, mentoring and training. 2) Increasing the visual literacy skills of foster children that are culturally oriented towards creative student profiles. 3) Adequate learning resources/visual literacy reading books in the library (provided by the PkM team, adding 29 book titles). 4) Developing creativity from activities, a) working on Pre-test questions, b) making Popup books and booklets, c) making digital posters, d) making 3-dimensional wall magazines, e) making padlets, and f) working on Post-tests.

Abstract

The quality of mathematics education in lower secondary schools requires the integration of a deep learning approach that emphasises conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and collaboration. This urgency arises because conventional teaching practices remain predominantly focused on rote learning, accompanied by the limited availability of structured and sustainable professional development models for teachers in implementing deep learning. This community engagement initiative employed a qualitative approach involving mathematics teachers at SMP Sukoharjo, Central Java. It aimed to: \1) strengthen teachers’ understanding of deep learning concepts, 2) develop contextual learning materials that foster critical thinking, and 3) enhance teachers’ capacity for phased classroom implementation. The programme adopted a collaborative professional development model integrating workshops, intensive mentoring, guided teaching practice, and systematic reflection. Its novelty lies in a sustainable mentoring model that links conceptual reinforcement with direct classroom practice. The results, based on mentoring evaluations, classroom observations, and reflective discussions, showed measurable improvements in teachers’ conceptual understanding, the quality and contextual relevance of teaching materials, and the implementation of student-centred deep learning practices that encouraged active student engagement. These findings demonstrate the potential of this model as an adaptive and practical approach to the sustainable professional development of mathematics teachers.
