Abstract

This study explores how school–community engagement can enhance student assessment skills and overall well-being within the context of vocational boarding education. Conducted at SMK Pertanian Pembangunan Ambon, a vocational high school specializing in agriculture in Eastern Indonesia, the project aimed to support guidance and counseling teachers in identifying students’ developmental challenges and to improve students’ abilities in using assessment tools. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis involving dormitory managers and school leadership. Findings revealed that the boarding system plays a pivotal role in promoting academic success, especially for students from remote areas, by providing a structured and supportive environment. Key services included structured mentoring, extracurricular activities, and a well-organized dormitory management structure. The assessment phase identified a variety of student issues: personal problems (42.6%), academic difficulties (34%), social issues (12.7%), and career uncertainty (10.7%). These findings highlight the urgent need for a responsive, student-centered counseling system supported by the school and local community. The study recommends targeted improvements in dormitory infrastructure, professional development for staff, and stronger integration of assessment-driven decision-making. Overall, the project demonstrates that a well-managed residential education model, when coupled with active community engagement, can significantly foster student well-being, guidance responsiveness, and life skill development.

Abstract

Indonesia, as the world's largest archipelagic country, holds a critical position in global marine biodiversity, encompassing over 17,000 islands within the Coral Triangle, known as the epicenter of marine diversity. This region supports extensive ecosystems that are vital for ecological balance, economic stability, and the well-being of millions of people. However, these ecosystems face severe threats from overfishing, plastic pollution, and climate change, which collectively endanger marine biodiversity and disrupt coastal livelihoods. This community service program, conducted by the Educational Administration Study Program at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Pattimura, aimed to strengthen community awareness and enhance administrative capacity for sustainable marine conservation in Negeri Mamala. The program incorporated educational sessions, digital technology, and hands-on community engagement to address critical marine conservation challenges. Key activities included awareness building, community training, and the integration of immersive technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) to improve participant understanding and retention. The results demonstrated significant improvements in community awareness, administrative skills, and active participation in conservation efforts, aligning with the principles of community-based conservation. This initiative provides a promising model for other coastal communities, highlighting the potential of integrating education, technology, and local engagement to achieve long-term sustainability in marine conservation. Moving forward, continued support, strategic partnerships, and ongoing capacity building will be essential for maintaining and expanding these positive impacts.
