This research focuses on Research and Community Service (PPKM) activities carried out through the collaboration of IAKN Tarutung and USU in the field of agriculture in Sampuran Village, Muara District, North Tapanuli Regency. The primary issue addressed is farmers' complaints about reduced crop productivity caused by plant pests. The main commodities cultivated by the farming community include mango, cacao, avocado, and several types of young plants. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study type. The evaluation of the program's impact on farmers' empowerment was conducted using measurable indicators, including the percentage reduction in pest-related damage, changes in crop yields, and the number of farmers adopting pest control techniques introduced during the program. The results show that the Community Service collaboration between IAKN Tarutung and USU contributed significantly to addressing farmers' complaints regarding plant pests. The service was carried out by involving the farming community, facilitated by Sampuran Village officials. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with five farmer groups were conducted to identify and address plant pest problems effectively. The program's sustainability strategy includes ongoing training sessions, the establishment of farmer self-help groups, and periodic monitoring facilitated by local agricultural extension officers.

Abstract

The integration of local wisdom in education is a crucial effort in the development of contextual learning in Indonesia, particularly in preserving and actualizing cultural values such as those of the Batak Toba community. This study aims to examine how the values of Batak Toba local wisdom can be integrated into contextual learning in schools. Using a qualitative approach through a literature review, this research involved a thematic analysis of scientific sources—including journals, academic books, and relevant research reports—published over the last two decades. The inclusion criteria focused on literature discussing local wisdom, character education, and curriculum development in the Indonesian context. The findings reveal that Batak Toba local wisdom contains rich educational values such as dalihan na tolu, mutual respect, communal harmony, and spiritual beliefs that can enrich classroom instruction, foster character development, support the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka, and enhance students’ cultural literacy. These values, when integrated into learning, not only make education more meaningful and rooted in students’ realities but also strengthen national identity in a multicultural society. The study concludes that integrating Batak Toba local wisdom into school-based learning is an urgent and strategic step to ensure that education in Indonesia remains culturally grounded, ethically formative, and responsive to the needs of future generations. This research contributes to the discourse on culturally relevant pedagogy and opens new pathways for designing educational models that harmonize local heritage with national educational goals.
