He is taught by a teacher of moral and obligation to face his death courageously and shows that he is a human being who has duty and responsibility. Finally, he is able to sacrifice his death as a symbol of his courage and dignity to himself, his family and community. It is found that the author Ernest J Gains vividly conveys human beings who have courage are able to maintain and get acknowledgement of their right and dignity although they have to face threat, pain, danger, or even death.

Abstract

The training program on Developing Teaching Materials Using the Gamma Application for Indonesian Language Teacher Candidates was conducted with the primary aim of enhancing the participants' competencies in utilizing technology for educational purposes. This initiative involved 30 participants from various universities in Medan, yielding significant improvements in their knowledge and skills. Prior to the training, only about 30% of participants felt confident in using the Gamma application; however, this figure rose to 85% post-training. Participants successfully created creative digital teaching materials that aligned with curriculum standards, incorporating engaging multimedia elements. In addition to technical skill enhancement, the training also boosted participants' motivation to learn, making the material development process more enjoyable. Despite challenges related to varying technological abilities and limited internet access, effective mentoring strategies and the provision of independent learning resources proved beneficial. The outcomes of this training are expected to positively impact the quality of education in Indonesia and inspire similar initiatives in the future.

Abstract

This service aims to describe the forms of dyslexia language disorders in the communication of children aged 7 to 12 years who live in the Yayasan Tuna Netra Karya Murni orphanage. Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects children's reading, writing, and speaking abilities. In the context of an orphanage, children often do not receive adequate assistance, so that dyslexia symptoms are not optimally handled. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation and interviews with caregivers and children in the orphanage. The results showed that children aged 7–12 years with dyslexia had difficulty recognizing letters, often reversed sounds or the order of letters in words, experienced delays in responding to questions, and had difficulty constructing sentences coherently. In addition, some children showed disorders in pronunciation, understanding spoken language, and a tendency to withdraw from conversations. The level of disorder varies depending on the age and ability of the individual. Children aged 7–8 years showed more phonological disorders, while children aged 11–12 years had difficulty in conveying ideas verbally. This study concludes that dyslexia language disorders in children in orphanages require special treatment through speech therapy approaches, early intervention, and communication training that are appropriate to the characteristics of the age and needs of the children.
