Abstract

This study aims to identify the implementation of Community-Based Learning (CBL) within the POTADS West Java community as a family-based community of children with Down syndrome. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach with an observational design, based on four direct observations supported by documentation of community activities. The analysis was guided by key CBL indicators, including active participation, contextual and experiential learning, collaboration and equality, problem-solving orientation, and the community as the learning agent. The findings reveal that all CBL indicators were consistently manifested across various community activities. The learning process was participatory, grounded in real-life experiences, and involved collaborative interactions among children, parents, volunteers, and professionals. In addition, the activities were oriented toward addressing real challenges faced by community members and were collectively managed by the community itself. These findings confirm that CBL is not merely a theoretical construct but is empirically implemented within disability-oriented communities. Furthermore, the study highlights the central role of family involvement in strengthening the implementation of CBL within community contexts. Thus, the POTADS West Java community represents a concrete example of inclusive, contextual, and sustainable community-based learning. This study contributes to the understanding of CBL implementation in family-based community settings and emphasizes the importance of integrating family roles in the development of adaptive and inclusive non-formal education.

Abstract

Kemajuan sebuah negara dapat diamati dari sebuah nilai tinggi rendahnya angka Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM) di negara tersebut. Tingginya angka IPM suatu negara dapat diartikan bahwa negara tersebut termasuk ke dalam negara maju begitupun sebaliknya, apabila angka IPM suatu negara rendah, maka dapat dikatakan bahwa negara tersebut belum termasuk kategori negara maju. IPM dapat ditingkatkan dengan dibuatnya suatu program pembangunan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat. Program pembangunan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat akan berhasil apabila memiliki perencanaan yang cukup matang terutama dalam hal perencanaan evaluasi. Mengingat program pemberdayaan dan pembangunan masyarakat merupakan program yang membutuhkan banyak bantuan dari semua pihak maka perlu adanya kolaborasi. Kolaborasi tersebut dapat terjadi dari mulai proses perencanaan sampai tahapan evaluasi program. Dalam tahapan perencanaan evaluasi, kolaborasi dilakukan dengan berbagai stakeholder sehingga dapat meningkatkan kualitas dari program pembangunan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat yang digagas.

Abstract

Although assessment literacy is increasingly recognized as a critical component of effective teaching, empirical research addressing this competency in non-formal education contexts remains limited. This study addresses this gap by examining the level and distribution of assessment literacy among non-formal education (NFE) tutors in Indonesia and by exploring the structural validity of an assessment literacy framework adapted to non-formal learning environments. Using survey data collected from 322 NFE tutors, the study investigates variations in assessment literacy across demographic and professional characteristics and analyzes the contribution of seven conceptual dimensions to overall assessment literacy. The findings indicate that tutors’ assessment literacy levels are generally modest. No significant differences are observed in relation to gender, length of teaching experience, or type of educational work experience, whereas age and educational attainment are associated with statistically significant variation. All seven dimensions demonstrate meaningful relationships with assessment literacy, with contextual responsiveness and reflective practice emerging as particularly influential, while several indicators require further refinement. By providing empirical evidence on assessment literacy in non-formal education settings, this study contributes to the refinement of existing conceptual frameworks and underscores the importance of context-sensitive professional development and institutional support in enhancing assessment practices and learning quality in non-formal education.
