Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the quality of learning and the well-being of children with special needs through the use of mobile-based technology. The partner institution faces several challenges, including limited adaptive learning media, the continued use of conventional teaching methods, and a shortage of caregivers for optimal assistance, resulting in less structured learning processes and limited support for children's independence. To address these issues, an adaptive educational game was implemented as a mobile application designed with simple visuals, interactive features, and offline usability to suit the children's needs. The implementation method included program socialization, training for caregivers on how to use the application, direct application in daily activities, and evaluation through observation and discussion. The results show that the use of the educational game increases children's engagement in learning activities, helps them understand daily routines more effectively, and supports caregivers in providing more efficient assistance. Therefore, the adaptive educational game can serve as an effective, user-friendly, and sustainable learning medium for children with special needs.

Abstract

Palm oil biomass waste in Indonesia, particularly empty fruit bunches (EFB), presents significant environmental challenges while also offering opportunities for sustainable agriculture. This community service program was conducted at the Labangka Village Hall, Babulu Subdistrict, Penajam Paser Utara Regency, East Kalimantan, with the aim of empowering smallholder farmers to convert EFB into microbially enriched biofertilizer and integrate this innovation into local policy frameworks. The program applied a participatory approach through training, hands-on demonstrations, demonstration plots using mung bean (Vigna radiata) as a test crop, and science–policy dialogue involving more than 30 farmers (≥40% women and ≥20% youth). A fertilizer comparison and branding workshop was also conducted to support product commercialization. The results showed increased farmer capacity in biofertilizer production and application, improved soil conditions, enhanced microbial activity, and better plant growth compared to conventional practices. In addition, the initiative facilitated the development of local policy instruments and integration into the Village Government Work Plan (RKP Desa), enabling potential funding through the Village Fund. This program demonstrates a scalable model that integrates technological innovation, community empowerment, and institutional support to promote sustainable agriculture.

Abstract

Based on initial observations, community health volunteers (posyandu cadres) in Bluru Kidul Village, Sidoarjo, demonstrated limited understanding of early detection of children’s socio-emotional development, indicating the need for a structured training intervention. This community service program aimed to enhance cadre capacity through participatory training covering child growth and development concepts, the use of the KPSP screening instrument, and socio-emotional stimulation practices for toddlers. The program was implemented in three stages: preparation, a one-day participatory training program using interactive lectures, group discussions, simulations, and demonstrations, and post-training mentoring through a WhatsApp-based platform and field visits. Evaluation results indicated an improvement in cadres’ knowledge based on pre-test and post-test comparisons, as well as enhanced skills in administering the KPSP and conducting developmental stimulation practices. This program was concluded to be effective in improving cadre competence and should be supported by sustainable mentoring to ensure optimal and holistic child development services at posyandu and to facilitate replication in similar community settings.

Abstract

Community behavior in managing waste is an important key in national waste management. A sustainable waste sorting process can reduce the volume of waste disposed of in landfills. Waste banks are one alternative to reduce this. Persistri Ranting Kopo has an active role in da'wah activities in the community. One of the da'wah activities he carried out was on the issue of persistent concern for the environment. The presence of a waste bank in the Kopo Branch environment can help da'wah cadres and the surrounding community to participate in managing waste properly and correctly. Community service activities are carried out in three stages, the first is socialization related to waste bank knowledge. Second, technical training was carried out, how to manage the waste bank properly. Third, the implementation of the waste bank system. The waste bank simulation activity was carried out when members of the Kopo Persistri Bojongloa Kaler Branch held regular meetings on certain days. After the training is carried out, participants are expected to be able to carry out Waste Bank activities in their environment.

Abstract

Undergraduate education students often face writing anxiety as a psychological challenge that impacts their academic performance. This Community Service activity aims to explore the effectiveness of writing enlightenment-themed short stories in English as a form of anxiety appraisal among undergraduate education students throughout the Madiun Residency. The activity was designed in two stages: a webinar on March 5, 2026, and a one-month intensive mentoring class (March 6–April 6, 2026), using a service learning approach and a pre-post survey design. A total of 84 participants completed a pre-webinar questionnaire, while 46 participants completed a post-webinar questionnaire covering four dimensions: writing anxiety, challenge appraisal, creative writing preferences, and readiness and self-efficacy. The results showed a decrease in perceived writing barriers and a significant increase in self-efficacy post-activity. The English-based reappraisal writing approach proved effective in creating emotional distancing, helping participants express emotional experiences more objectively and constructively. This activity confirmed that structured creative writing can function as a meaningful anxiety management strategy for student teachers.

Abstract

The issue of plastic waste in urban residential areas requires a source-based management approach that goes beyond reliance on external sorting and collection, incorporating an internal processing mechanism at the community level instead. This community service initiative aimed to strengthen the community-based plastic waste management system by implementing ecobrick practices within a residential area in Depok City. A participatory socio-technical systems engineering approach was employed, involving the assessment of baseline conditions, the strengthening of source management through education on plastic sorting, the establishment of internal processing mechanisms via training, the adoption of ecobrick production procedures, and the reinforcement of community mechanisms through the engagement of a core group and the development of simple Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Eleven participants, selected based on their prior involvement in environmental activities and household waste management, took part in the program. Evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-tests, satisfaction surveys, and observations of the implementation of the internal processing mechanism. Results showed an increase in participants' average understanding from 51.52% to 80.30%, representing a 28.78 percentage-point increase. The most significant improvement was in the understanding of ecobricks as a form of upcycling, increasing by 72.73 percentage points. All participants (100%) provided positive feedback. The initiative also led to the creation of simple SOPs and the initial implementation of internal processing, as evidenced by the production of 19 ecobricks. These findings demonstrate that ecobricking can be integrated as an internal processing function within community-based plastic waste management systems and holds potential for replication in residential areas with similar characteristics.

Abstract

Dental caries remains one of the most persistent health problems among children, frequently triggered by plaque accumulation due to poor oral health knowledge and ineffective toothbrushing techniques. This community service program aimed to measure the effectiveness of dental health education combined with a group toothbrushing practice on improving knowledge and reducing dental plaque index among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri Wonosaren, Surakarta (n=40). The program was implemented using a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design, comprising a knowledge-level questionnaire and visualization of dental plaque using a disclosing agent based on the Silness & Löe Plaque Index. Results showed that the mean knowledge score increased from 51.25 to 88.40, a relative improvement of 72.5%, exceeding the minimum target improvement of 70%. The plaque index also improved: the proportion of students in the good category increased from 15.0% (6 students) to 72.5% (29 students), while the poor category was fully eliminated (0.0%). These findings demonstrate that combining interactive education with group toothbrushing practice effectively enhances children's cognitive knowledge and oral hygiene skills, and may serve as a replicable model for early caries prevention in other elementary schools.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to address the main problem faced by the micro-business Si Bintang Buah, which is the low production efficiency due to the manual and inconsistent mixing process of flavoring ingredients. The implementation method includes partner needs assessment, design and fabrication of an automatic seasoning mixer, user training, and evaluation of tool usage. The resulting machine uses a 1 HP three-phase motor which is more stable, heat-resistant, and capable of optimally mixing wet ingredients. The outcomes show a significant improvement in production efficiency: mixing time reduced from 8 hours to 3 hours per day for 100 kg of mixture, taste quality became more consistent, and daily production capacity increased by over 50%. In conclusion, this project demonstrates that the application of simple but relevant appropriate technology can produce real impacts in improving SME productivity, enhancing competitiveness, and providing opportunities for replication in other similar small enterprises.
