Abstract

This study addresses the persistent challenge faced by first-year university students in understanding and applying academic writing conventions required in higher education. The research responds to the gap between students’ writing ability and the methodological and linguistic standards expected in academic contexts. The primary objective was to develop students’ competence in writing scientific papers that are logical, structured, and ethically sound. The program employed Participatory Action Research (PAR) combined with the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, encouraging students to engage actively through experiential learning, reflection, and peer collaboration. Conducted over two days at the Institut Agama Islam (IAI) Ngawi, the training involved 150 participants, including PMII cadres and first-year students. Findings revealed significant improvement in participants’ understanding of academic paper structure, citation practices, and argument development. Moreover, participants demonstrated greater confidence and motivation to write scientific papers independently. The study concludes that participatory and asset-based learning strategies effectively transform academic writing from a procedural task into an intellectual and reflective process, fostering long-term academic literacy and integrity.

Abstract

Rural communities often face economic limitations due to restricted employment opportunities and the underutilization of local resources. Sawit Village, Karangasem, Tanon, Sragen, has considerable potential in soybean processing because soybeans are relatively accessible and tempeh is widely consumed by the community. This community service program focused on strengthening household economic resilience through participatory assistance in soybean tempeh production for women in RT 06 Sawit Village. The program aimed to improve technical skills in hygienic tempeh production, increase entrepreneurial awareness, and encourage product packaging and marketing practices that support small-scale business development. The method used was participatory community assistance involving initial observation, joint planning, technical training, field mentoring, business management education, and evaluation. Community members were involved in every stage of the activity, from identifying problems to implementing production and packaging practices. The results showed that participants were able to select quality soybeans, apply appropriate fermentation procedures, maintain sanitation during production, and produce tempeh with a compact texture, white color, and characteristic aroma. In addition, participants gained new knowledge about simple packaging and product labeling as preparation for local marketing. The program also encouraged greater confidence among women to develop home-based economic activities and utilize local agricultural potential more productively. Participatory assistance in soybean tempeh production can therefore serve not only as a food-processing activity but also as a community empowerment strategy that contributes to skills improvement, entrepreneurial awareness, and local economic resilience.
