Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of palm sap (Borassus flabellifer L.) as an organic plant growth regulator on the vegetative growth of Dendrobium welirang orchids. Palm sap contains natural sugars, minerals, and biologically active components that may serve as an organic plant growth regulator. The research was conducted at the Candi Orchid Greenhouse in Semarang from July to October 2024 using a Completely Randomized Design with four palm sap concentrations, namely 0, 100, 150, and 200 ml/l, each applied in five replications. Observed parameters included plant height and root length. Data were analyzed using One Way ANOVA at a 5% significance level, followed by the Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that palm sap concentration significantly affected plant height with the growth o1bserved in treatment P3 showing an average result of 12.01 cm. In contrast, root length was not significantly affected. These findings indicate that palm sap has potential as an environmentally friendly organic plant growth regulator to support vegetative growth of Dendrobium welirang orchids.

Abstract

Children with special needs are more vulnerable to minor injuries due to limited motor coordination and low awareness of environmental risks, emphasizing the need for accessible first-aid education. This community service program aimed to improve inclusive health literacy and basic first-aid skills by integrating traditional games, Bola Bekel and Ular Naga, as culturally based learning media. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was applied in collaboration with teachers and students at Widya Bhakti Special Needs School, Semarang, through planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. The adapted games introduced essential first-aid concepts, including recognizing common injuries, selecting appropriate first-aid equipment, and practicing simple response procedures through guided simulations. The program results showed increased student understanding of first-aid tools, greater confidence in performing basic first-aid actions, improved motor coordination, and enhanced social interaction. In addition, the activity strengthened partner empowerment by improving teachers’ capacity to independently implement game-based first-aid learning and integrate it into school activities, supporting program sustainability. This program contributes to the development of culturally relevant, inclusive, and sustainable first-aid education models for children with diverse abilities.

Abstract

Perubahan paradigma asesmen nasional melalui implementasi Tes Kemampuan Akademik (TKA) menuntut kesiapan guru Bahasa Inggris SMA dalam memahami asesmen berbasis literasi, numerasi, dan keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Observasi awal di Kabupaten Brebes menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar guru masih mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami struktur TKA, menganalisis level kognitif soal, memilih stimulus yang tepat, serta menyusun instrumen asesmen yang valid dan reliabel. Kondisi ini berpotensi menghambat kesiapan siswa menghadapi asesmen nasional. Untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut, Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini dilaksanakan melalui tiga tahapan utama: pelatihan konseptual tentang kebijakan TKA dan HOTS, workshop analisis soal, serta pendampingan penyusunan soal dengan pendekatan iterative mentoring. Kegiatan dilakukan secara luring dan daring untuk memastikan keberlanjutan pembelajaran. Luaran program meliputi peningkatan literasi asesmen guru, tersusunnya modul pelatihan TKA Bahasa Inggris, dokumen analisis soal, serta bank soal TKA berisi 30–38 butir soal yang tervalidasi. Secara keseluruhan, program ini memberikan solusi aplikatif dalam meningkatkan kompetensi asesmen guru dan mendukung kesiapan siswa menghadapi TKA di Kabupaten Brebes.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the form of local wisdom that can be integrated in Biology learning at the high school level and analyze the challenges and opportunities for its implementation within the management of the Biology Subject Teacher Conference (Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran/MGMP) of the Senior High School of Central Java Province, Indonesia. The approach used is qualitative with exploratory methods and case studies, involving interviews, Focus Group Discussions, observations, and document analysis. The subject of the study is MGMP Biology administrators who are experienced in the development of locally-based learning. The results of the study show that local wisdom such as nyadran, ngapem traditions, herbal medicine, medicinal plant utilization, and ecosystem observation have been successfully integrated into Biology learning and have a positive impact on students' cognitive abilities, affective attitudes, and psychomotor skills. However, there are several obstacles, such as limited teaching materials, lack of teacher training, lack of collaboration with the community, and limited time and curriculum flexibility. Therefore, collaboration is needed between MGMP, schools, local governments, and universities to develop contextual teaching tools, provide teacher training, and design policies that support Biology learning based on local wisdom values to be more relevant and meaningful for students.
