Abstract

This article discusses the application of service learning as an educational approach that supports the preservation of cultural heritage and the strengthening of sustainable tourism in Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As one of the most important Hindu temple complexes in Southeast Asia, Batu Caves has become a symbol of cultural diversity and interreligious harmony. However, increased tourism activity has brought about various problems, such as environmental pollution, waste management issues, and the erosion of cultural values among visitors. To address these challenges, service-learning programs integrate academic theory with direct participation in the community, allowing students to actively engage in environmental conservation, cultural documentation, and the development of public education initiatives. Thru collaboration with temple managers, local communities, and tourists, students applied management concepts in real-world situations, including cleaning activities, maintaining tourist areas, developing educational materials on eco-tourism, and preserving traditional rituals thru cultural archiving. The implementation of this service learning not only enriches students' learning experiences but also raises public awareness about the importance of preserving Batu Caves as a sustainable cultural heritage site. Overall, this project demonstrates that service learning is a transformative pedagogical approach that connects academic goals with community development and cultivates future leaders who are socially responsible and culturally sensitive.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of developing computational thinking skills for students in facing the challenges of the 21st century. Computational thinking is described as a thinking process in formulating problems and solving problems computationally through computers, humans or machines. Its skills can be measured during the learning process of students with the approach of basic computational thinking strategies as follows: Are students able to decompose complex problems into simpler problems? (Decomposition), can students create problem patterns? (Pattern recognition), are students able to focus on issues that are considered important? (Abstraction), and whether students can solve problems systematically (Algorithm) with SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-based). The research aims to improve students' computational thinking skills through the integration of technology in problem-based learning models on polymer topics. This study uses a quasi-experimental quantitative method with none equivalent control group design. The subjects in this study were students of SMAN 1 South Tangerang City, totaling 66 students of class XII. The results showed that the computational thinking skills of students increased after the implementation of the problem-based learning model integrated with technology. This is indicated by the average N-Gain Score for the experimental class which is 56.65%, which is included in the quite effective category, and based on the independent sample t-test. The Sig value is obtained. (2-tailed) 0.007. This indicates Sig. (2-tailed) <, it can be concluded that there is a significant positive effect of the use of technology integration in the problem-based learning model on polymer topics.
