Abstract

This study documents a community development initiative at Ar-Rasyid Kindergarten to educate young students about plastic waste management through practical activities. The method involved conducting training sessions or workshops and providing guidance in making pencils from plastic waste. Guided by a community service team, kindergarten students engaged in hands-on projects to repurpose plastic bottles into pencil holders. Pre-tests assessed initial understanding, revealing varying levels of awareness among students. Following educational sessions and post-tests, significant improvements were observed in students' comprehension of recycling and environmental stewardship. The initiative fostered creativity and practical skills and instilled a sense of environmental responsibility in students. This underscores the importance of early education in shaping sustainable behaviors and promoting a cleaner, healthier environment. Such initiatives highlight the potential of educational interventions to empower future generations in combating plastic pollution and fostering sustainable practices.

Abstract

Academics often face challenges in effectively navigating and analyzing the vast and growing body of scientific literature, which limits their ability to identify collaboration opportunities and emerging research trends. This study highlights developing and implementing a community service program to enhance academics' research productivity through bibliometric analysis training. Conducted online on September 6, 2024, the program gathered 34 lecturers and researchers from diverse fields. The training comprehensively introduced bibliometric concepts and practical applications, utilizing tools such as VOSviewer and Scopus Analyze. Participants gained skills in processing bibliographic data, mapping collaboration networks, and identifying emerging research trends. The initiative improved participants' understanding of bibliometric techniques and empowered them to enhance research quality and productivity. Positive feedback from participants underscores the program's success and potential to drive broader academic impact.
