Abstract

Cadre development is essential to sustaining organizational continuity. For Pimpinan Cabang Nasyiatul Aisyiyah (PCNA) Baki, strengthening cadres’ capacities is important for supporting organizational, religious, and community-based activities. One relevant competency is the ability to serve as a Master of Ceremony (MC) in Javanese. However, initial observations indicated that this competency was not yet evenly developed among cadres, particularly in the use of appropriate Javanese speech levels (unggah-ungguh basa), script preparation, and confidence in public speaking. This community service program aimed to develop and implement a blended learning approach for Javanese MC training among PCNA Baki cadres. The program involved 21 participants and was conducted in five stages: needs identification, socialization, blended learning implementation (combining a digital classroom through Google Classroom with an in-person workshop held on September 19, 2026), monitoring and evaluation, and sustainability. Changes in participants’ perceived competencies were assessed by comparing mean pre-test and post-test scores across eight indicators using a five-point scale. Mean scores increased across all indicators, with the greatest improvements observed in welcoming statements, transition statements, and opening script preparation. Confidence showed the smallest increase, from 3.19 to 3.86. The program also resulted in the development of the Kelas Digital Nasyiah Sinau Pambiwara as a reusable learning resource. These findings suggest that the blended learning activities contributed to strengthening cadres’ readiness to serve as Javanese MC and provided a practical competency that supports cadre development at PCNA Baki.
