Abstract

This community service initiative in Dringu Village, Indonesia, responds to the pressing plastic waste predicament exacerbated by population growth and challenges in reducing plastic dependence. The village, rich in natural resources, faces environmental threats and significant floods due to waste accumulation, impacting social and economic structures. The program's objectives center around implementing the ecobrick method to train and mentor residents, enhance practical skills in plastic waste management, and economically empower the community by viewing plastic waste as a resource for potential business opportunities. Employing a Community-Based Participatory Research approach, the initiative actively involves the community in issue identification through dialogues, fostering local capacity to independently tackle the plastic waste problem. Key participants include cadre members, PKK, and village officials, forming a robust framework for comprehensive and sustainable plastic waste management. The meticulous preparation by participants involved sorting waste, creating ecobricks by filling plastic bottles with small-cut plastic waste, and adding an aesthetic touch through green painting. Plywood pieces complemented the design, forming a two-level shoe rack. This innovative product not only addresses plastic waste but also presents economic opportunities for the community, fostering self-sufficiency and overall well-being

Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence in education has transformed how Indonesian university students approach academic writing. This study investigates the influence of digital literacy and the utilization of artificial intelligence on English writing proficiency. Using a quantitative explanatory survey design, data were collected from fifty-five undergraduate students selected through purposive sampling at a private university. The study employed a structured questionnaire to measure information evaluation, ethical awareness, and artificial intelligence usage patterns. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares. The results demonstrate that digital literacy significantly enhances writing proficiency by enabling students to evaluate sources and maintain ethical standards. Similarly, the utilization of artificial intelligence positively impacts writing outcomes, particularly in improving grammatical accuracy and lexical sophistication. Furthermore, the simultaneous interaction of these variables serves as a strong predictor of overall writing competence. The findings conclude that while artificial intelligence provides essential technical support, digital literacy remains the critical cognitive foundation for effective usage. These insights suggest that higher education institutions should prioritize integrated curriculums that combine technical training with robust digital literacy education to foster independent and proficient academic writers.
