Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic gives an impression to the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Semarang City. 1538 SMEs experienced losses of up to 75% and even went bankrupt. It is caused by changes in purchasing priorities from the market, so SMEs must be able to think innovatively to maintain their business. Innovation will be attached to SME products that guarantee business survival. One of them is a catfish nugget product from Atmajaya Pond. Atmajaya Pond is an SME community service program partner that can sell as many as 280 packs monthly, producing 70 kg of fish for nuggets. This figure is relatively high for a home-scale business. The raw material for nuggets is obtained from cultivation through aquaculture, which occupies a limited area beside the house. The products were distributed in Semarang and surrounding areas. Currently, the high-cost burden in the production process is feeding, so making fish feed yourself is a strategic activity to reduce production costs. SME partner now has three root problems: (1) Fails in developing fish feed products because it cannot float. (2) The products need to be more competitive because they are still modest and less eye-catching, and the packaging is not represented as iconic. (3) Processed products owned by partners cannot last long. Thus, the direction of this program will build solutions that solve these problems, such as improving fish feed production, recreating the packaging design, and adding new processed fish products. This strategic program impacts increasing skill by 89.58%, increasing knowledge by 95.83%, and strengthening production by 20%.

Abstract

Child-friendly school education is education with a pleasant learning atmosphere and supports teachers’ ability to implement active, collaborative, and democratic learning in the context of edutainment. Child-friendly school education programs are considered capable of strengthening the character of children to become individuals with noble character. In 2020, Indonesia had 36,766 child-friendly schools spread across the country. However, the current implementation of child-friendly schools is still not optimal considering the many phenomena of bullying problems that are increasingly rampant. This is in line with the data that in Indonesia there were 12,285 children experiencing violence, and the data continued to increase in 2020 to 12,425 and 2022 as many as 15,972 children. This quantitative study included 138 teacher respondents. The obtained data were analyzed using a structural equation model with SmartPLS software. This research builds a model that involves the Variables Of Technology Knowledge And Teaching Aids as endogenous variables with Educational Competence as a mediating variable to improve Child-Friendly School Performance. The results revealed that the model built fit is proven that Educational Competence can leverage Teaching Aids and Technology Knowledge on Child-Friendly School Performance with the best path being Teaching Aids->Educational Competence-> Child-Friendly School Performance, with a total effect of 0.239198. This research contributes to the body of knowledge of Constructivism Theory.

Abstract

Currently, the fashion industry continues to grow and increase, but there is a problem gap in the form of declining demand for orders and stagnant fashion products, which has an impact on 3,000 textile factory workers in Sukoharjo Regency who have been laid off. The problem gap needs to be resolved through the collaborative roles of the sectors in the quadruple helix consisting of the fashion industry, universities, government, and civil society. Therefore, the research question is how does the fashion industry build innovation through the support of sectors in the quadruple helix? The purpose of this study is to identify the role of the quadruple helix in encouraging the fashion industry to create innovations that have an impact on employment. The research method used was a qualitative study with the informants being the Industry Office as the government sector, two fashion MSMEs as industry sector representatives, one university in Indonesia as the university sector, and a sample from civil society. The results of this research indicate that the industry sector is the primary driver of innovation, universities provide foundational knowledge for other sectors, and the government plays a role in maintaining the smooth operation of the fashion industry through policies. Additionally, civil society is responsible for evaluating the work of industry, universities, and government policies. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on the quadruple helix innovation theory.
