Abstract

The study explores the impact of collaborative mentoring on transformative teachers' ability to publish best practices in urban education in Semarang City, Indonesia. Besides the important role of transformative teachers in improving the quality of education, the best practices were underexposed and adequately documented. Using the Participatory Community Appraisal (PCA) approach, the study involved 24 transformative teachers in a structured mentoring program focused on identifying, documenting, and publishing best practices. The program includes intensive workshops, ongoing online support, and peer collaboration. The results showed a transformative teachers can articulate and disseminate innovative practices, with 80% of participants successfully publishing the work on various platforms. The study concludes that collaborative mentoring catalyzes the publication of best practices, thereby increasing knowledge sharing among educators and potentially improving the quality of urban education. This research contributes to the growing literature on teacher professional development and highlights the importance of structured support in promoting the spread of educational innovation.

Abstract

The VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and ambiguity) phenomenon currently being discussed among the wider community also impacts parenting management, disrupting parenting treatment. Learners are faced with rapid technological developments that require a digital-based parenting approach. On the other hand, teachers and parents need knowledge about parenting program education that is linear with advances in science and technology. The purpose of this service is to increase the understanding of parents and guardians of students about parenting in the digital era and to assist with parenting programs that the Drupadi Cluster Teacher Community has determined. The results of initial interviews with several teachers at schools covered by Gugus partners show there are problems faced by Gugus Drupadi partners, which include the high level of dependence of students on gadgets, as well as the lack of parental attention to the learning process of students at home, becoming a severe challenge in the character building and development of students in elementary schools. Based on these problems, the solution offered is to educate parents as the first madrasah for students about the fulfillment of intact parenting in the digital era, which is accelerated in the Empowerment of Gugus Drupadi in the Parenting Program in Public Elementary Schools in Semarang City. The service team has two roles. The first is to facilitate the stimulation of the parents of the Drupadi Cluster. Facilitators have an essential role in educating, motivating, and implementing digitally charged parenting treatments. The second role is as a companion for the programs determined by the Teacher Community in Gugus Drupadi.

Abstract

This community service project aims to empower teachers in Semarang City to improve their skills in academic writing and publication through a community-based mentorship program. The project addresses critical challenges faced by teachers, including limited time for research, lack of experience in scientific publication, and funding constraints. Using the Participatory Community Appraisal (PCA) method, the program was designed to actively involve teachers in planning, executing, and evaluating the mentorship activities. The community of teachers, particularly those involved in the PKY (Pengembang Konten Youtube) Teacher Community, received intensive training and guidance in scientific writing, article submission, and publication processes. The project results include a significant improvement in teachers' academic writing abilities, with several articles prepared for submission to national journals. The collaborative approach fostered a sense of ownership among participants, making the outcomes more sustainable. This initiative highlights the importance of providing structured mentorship to enhance teachers' professional development and their contributions to academic knowledge.
