Abstract

This article explores microeconomic empowerment efforts as a strategy to combat poverty in Babakan Village, Ciseeng Subdistrict, Bogor Regency, through a microbusiness capital loan scheme. The background to this activity is based on the limited access to capital for low-income communities, which hinders the development of small businesses and the improvement of family welfare. The method used is a participatory approach based on community empowerment with stages of needs identification through observation and interviews, joint program planning with village officials and business groups, distribution of revolving capital loans without collateral with intensive assistance, and periodic monitoring and evaluation of business development. The results of the activity showed that the micro-business capital loan program, accompanied by mentoring, was able to increase the turnover and stability of participants' businesses, strengthen financial literacy, and foster household economic independence. In addition, social solidarity among group members was created through a mechanism of shared responsibility for loan repayment. Thus, the empowerment strategy based on access to capital and continuous mentoring proved to be an effective model for poverty alleviation at the village level.

Abstract

Purpose: Traditional history teaching methods in the social sciences often overlook constructivist and inquiry-based approaches, meaning that trainee history teachers are under-exposed to such approaches. This study aims to evaluate how trainee history teachers understand and apply inquiry-based methods when local history is integrated into teaching materials, as well as to assess the pedagogical effectiveness of local history in enhancing teacher education. Methods: This study employed an exploratory qualitative approach involving history teacher trainees enrolled in a teacher training programme at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Data were collected through focus group discussions, interviews, and classroom-based inquiry activities. Data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns in participants’ understanding and perceptions of inquiry-based learning utilising local history. Findings: The findings indicate that integrating local history into the curriculum significantly enhances participants’ engagement and interest. Students demonstrated a deeper understanding of inquiry-based learning, particularly in formulating questions, analysing sources, and drawing evidence-based conclusions. Participants also reported increased confidence in applying inquiry-oriented teaching methods, although concerns regarding classroom implementation remain. Research implications: This study is limited to specific groups and contexts, which may affect generalisability. However, it highlights the pedagogical value of contextual and inquiry-based approaches in teacher education. Challenges such as time constraints and institutional readiness need to be considered for wider implementation. Originality: This research contributes by demonstrating the effectiveness of local history as a pedagogical medium to support inquiry-based learning. It offers a contextual approach to bridging theory and practice in teacher education and suggests directions for future longitudinal research on sustained pedagogical impacts.
