Abstract

Financial literacy education should ideally be introduced from an early age during school years. Children need to be guided and accustomed to good financial behaviors. This community service research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of financial literacy education in fostering an early investment foundation among students of SMK Muhammadiyah Pangkalan Balai. The low level of financial literacy among the younger generation, particularly in the context of investment, remains a relevant challenge amidst the dynamics of the digital economy. Employing interactive socialization and counseling methods, this program involved 65 twelfth-grade students. Pre-test and post-test results showed a highly significant increase in knowledge (average gain score of 35.8 points), accompanied by positive changes in students' attitudes and interest in early investment. The program's novelty lies in its emphasis on "financial adaptability" and the integration of entrepreneurial values. It is concluded that financial literacy education with an interactive counseling approach is highly effective in equipping students of SMK Muhammadiyah Pangkalan Balai with practical financial competencies for the future.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the role of a design thinking approach in teacher professional development as a transdisciplinary strategy to foster curriculum innovation. Using a literature review, this research examines various academic sources and empirical studies that discuss the integration of design thinking in educational contexts, particularly in teacher training and capacity development. Findings indicate that design thinking not only enhances teachers' ability to design relevant and creative learning experiences but also fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration, empathy for student needs, and increased flexibility and responsiveness to curriculum change. This approach strengthens teachers' position as adaptive and reflective learning designers in facing the complex challenges of the 21st century. Therefore, adopting design thinking in teacher professional development programs is considered strategic for generating contextual and sustainable curriculum innovation.
