Abstract

Sekolah Indonesia Bangkok (SIB) faces challenges in utilizing online presentation platforms such as Canva, Prezi, and Slidebean. Both students and teachers have limited understanding of advanced features, leading to low-quality presentations and limited creativity in delivering lesson materials. Additionally, no formal training has been provided to maximize the use of these tools in the school environment. Students also get learning materials or guidebooks accompanied by learning stationery, as well as practical materials in the form of online platform web links that are ready to be processed. The guidebook given to the students is not limited to the training, but can be used outside of the training session. The learning method used in these learning activities is project-based learning where students will get an understanding of the benefits of creativity in presentation media and material on the use of online platforms 4.0, then continued with practical sessions where students are directed to implement the material received with online platforms provided through website links. The benefits of this community service activity are determined by considering the cognitive and psychomotor aspects demonstrated by the students. Based on the results of pre-test and post-test conducted on 35 participants, there was an average increase of 45% in students understanding of the use of the Canva, Prezi, and Slidebean platforms. Before the training, only 30% of students understood the basic features of these platforms, while after the training, this number increased to 75%.

Abstract

Maternal and child health encompasses comprehensive efforts to maintain optimal health at every life stage, from pre-conception to menopause. Midwifery services play a crucial role in this system, focusing on women's reproductive health throughout their life cycle, as well as the health of infants and toddlers. Food and nutrition are essential for development and serve as key indicators of overall health. However, many children still experience nutritional deficiencies, often due to a lack of interest in protein-rich and vegetable-based foods. The aim of this Community Service initiative was to educate cadre groups and mothers of children under five on utilizing local food ingredients to create nutritious snacks. The program introduced innovative ways to process red bean flour, oyster mushrooms, and catfish into nuggets and meatballs, providing a protein-rich alternative for young children. The service was conducted in Jaharum B Village, Galang District, Deli Serdang Regency. Results indicated that participating mothers gained valuable knowledge about protein sources and acquired skills to prepare nutritious snacks from local ingredients. These efforts are expected to improve the nutritional intake of children under five, contributing to better community health outcomes.

Abstract

Pasi Village, located in Berampu District, Dairi Regency, North Sumatra Province, covers an area of 12.50 km², accounting for approximately 30.60% of the total regency area. Although the majority of its population is Muslim, both the proficiency in reading the Qur’an and the general reading culture among the community remain relatively low. The only reading facility available, the Arke Menjaha Reading House—established by the local mosque congregation—faces limited resources and low community engagement. This community service initiative aims to foster reading interest, particularly among children, and to improve the ability to read the Qur’an accurately. To achieve these objectives, a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was implemented through three stages: problem identification via collaborative discussions, program implementation involving literacy development and Qur’anic reading training, and impact evaluation. Interventions included expanding the book collection, providing illustrated reading materials, and applying the talaqqi tahsinul Qur’an method. The results indicated a 70% increase in reading house visitors (ages 6–15), and participant attendance in the Qur’anic reading sessions reached 75–100% across 6 of the 8 planned meetings. This initiative is expected to support the sustainability of learning and encourage the spread of Qur’anic reading skills among village children.

Abstract

The Villa Ciomas RW 10 Farmer Group (PokTan Vici 10), actively engaged in urban farming in Ciomas Rahayu Village, Bogor, West Java, has been utilizing a small plot of land located next to the Cisindangbarang River. Their urban farming area already includes a small fishpond but lacks aquaponics equipment. The community service team aims to enhance the utility of the urban farming facilities by installing aquaponics equipment, providing workshops on basic hydroponics and aquaponics knowledge, exploring its business potential, and offering hands-on hydroponics and aquaponics cultivation practice. Throughout the program, the team also conducts monitoring and guidance to ensure successful implementation and address any challenges encountered during the training program. The hydroponic/aquaponics equipment installation was successful; however, nutrient supply from the fishponds only was initially suboptimal, prompting the addition of hydroponic nutrients. Hydroponic techniques were also introduced for vegetable cultivation. Based on a questionnaire analysis conducted before and after the training, the program positively impacted participants, significantly enhancing their knowledge and aquaponic skills (Wilcoxon signed-rank test, p<0.05). In conclusion, the aquaponics equipment was successfully installed, and participants gained foundational knowledge and skills in aquaponics, enabling them to independently manage aquaponics systems through to harvest. Looking ahead, the community members plan to explore business opportunities in selling hydroponics/aquaponics products.

Abstract

Students of the Social Work Vocational Program at SMK Bhakti Luhur face challenges in understanding and applying Gluten-Free Casein-Free (GFCF) diet interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This lack of understanding affects their readiness as future social workers to provide dietary-based services for children with special needs. To address this issue, a community service activity was conducted through training and the development of a GFCF diet pocketbook tailored to the characteristics of vocational students. The pocketbook contains educational material on the principles of the GFCF diet, lists of recommended and prohibited foods, cooking tips, and practical guidelines for daily application. The activity adopted a project-based learning approach, starting with material delivery followed by hands-on practice in preparing GFCF menus. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test assessments on 125 students, showing a 43.6% increase in understanding. The Wilcoxon test indicated a significant improvement (Z = -7.560, p < 0.05), and the average N-Gain score was 0.301, classified as moderate. The pocketbook served not only as a training tool but also as a self-learning resource. This initiative is expected to enhance students' capacity to support community-based nutritional interventions for children with ASD.
