Abstract

In the midst of the structural challenges of Indonesia's job market and digital disruption, non-formal education (PNF) plays a crucial role in equipping the community with relevant skills. This article analyzes a tutor empowerment model as a strategic effort to develop digital multimodal based entrepreneurship education in the PNF program in Ungaran Regency. Using a qualitative case study approach, this study examines the process and impact of training programs designed to improve the digital and pedagogical competencies of tutors. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically. The results show that this empowerment program significantly transforms the role of tutors from conventional teachers to digital learning architects who are able to design interactive learning experiences. The implementation of multimodal pedagogy has been proven to increase student engagement and learning motivation, as well as facilitate the development of early-stage digital entrepreneurship skills. This study concludes that tutor empowerment is a critical-path factor for the success and relevance of PNF in the digital era. However, the sustainability of these innovations is highly dependent on the existence of systemic support and affirmative policies to address the professional precariats that educators in the non-formal pathway have been facing.

Abstract

This research examines the optimisation of video conferencing tools (VCTs) to enhance virtual collaboration and leadership skills development in educational settings. The research problem focuses on how VCTs can effectively improve interactions among educators and foster essential leadership competencies. The research objectives include identifying best practices for VCT implementation, exploring their impact on leadership development and assessing the challenges institutions face. Utilising a qualitative research design, this research analyses existing literature and case studies to gather insights into using VCTs across various educational contexts. Data was collected through a comprehensive review of scholarly articles, reports and case studies that focus on the effectiveness of VCTs. Major findings indicate that optimised VCTs significantly enhance communication, foster collaboration, and contribute to developing vital leadership skills such as adaptability and emotional intelligence. The research also highlights barriers such as differing levels of technological proficiency and resource access, which can impede effective VCT implementation. In conclusion, the research emphasises the necessity of establishing clear communication protocols, providing ongoing professional development, and cultivating a collaborative culture to maximise the benefits of VCTs. By addressing these challenges and implementing best practices, educational leaders can leverage VCTs to create more engaging and inclusive learning environments, ultimately transforming educational leadership and collaboration in the digital era.

Pelaku UMKM di Kabupaten Semarang menghadapi tantangan signifikan dalam memanfaatkan platform digital untuk pemasaran, khususnya TikTok dan Shopee, yang berpotensi besar dalam meningkatkan jangkauan pasar dan penjualan. Program pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan pemasaran digital pelaku UMKM melalui pelatihan berbasis praktik, pendampingan intensif, dan optimalisasi penggunaan kedua platform tersebut.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the equality program at PKMB Tunas Mualia Semarang. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach research design. This study uses the evaluation of the CIPP model including aspects (Context) related to the analysis of program needs and program objectives, (Input) related to the characteristics of trainees, instructor qualifications, training curriculum, funding, and training facilities and infrastructure, (Process) related to training schedules, trainee activities, instructor activities, learning strategies, and obstacles in implementation, and (Product) related to the results and benefits as well as graduation of trainees. Research data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The validity technique used in this study is triangulation of methods and sources. Based on the results of the study, the evaluation of the CIPP program in the Equality Education Program at PKBM Tunas Mulia Semarang showed significant effectiveness. Context evaluation reveals that the establishment of PKBM is based on the low level of education of the community. This program has succeeded in increasing educational awareness through the approach of local figures, but it is constrained by students' economic problems that cause difficulties in paying contributions, so PKBM needs an innovative financing strategy. Input evaluation shows that students are of productive age and the quality of teaching is guaranteed by qualified tutors, with a curriculum that refers to the Independent Curriculum. Process evaluations highlight the flexibility of learning schedules and participants' involvement in various activities. Product evaluations showed significant social impact, with many participants graduating from various levels. Overall, PKBM Tunas Mulia has successfully implemented an effective equality education program, although it needs to adapt to economic challenges.

Abstract

Abstract: The extracurricular program which is divided into several specializations shows the importance of supporting the development of Islamic character in schools. This cannot be denied, because character is a complex activity that involves family, community and the school environment. Extracurricular activities are learning activities held outside school hours as an addition or complement. Extracurricular programs are organized with the aim of developing students' potential, talents, interests, abilities, personality, cooperation and independence optimally. The aim of the research is to determine the role of extracurricular programs in building students' Islamic leadership character. School and extracurricular activities are a holistic unit and mutually influence a child's leadership character. The learning process occurs in both to create reliable human resources. In theory, learning is essentially an "individual process" which means that it occurs in humans uniquely. Qualitative research is descriptive. which describes completely and holistically the phenomena that occur. The research was conducted at the AL-Kayyis Gresik Integrative Islamic Elementary School with data collection techniques using in-depth interviews, participatory observation and document analysis. Meanwhile, qualitative research data analysis uses Miles & Huberman, namely; (1) data reduction, (2) data presentation, (3) drawing conclusions. Extracurricular programs can be recreational, achievement or life skills. Thus, there is a holistic and synergistic relationship between extracurricular activities and the cultivation of students' Islamic character. Keywords; Extracurrucular, Islamic Character, Children.
