Abstract

Tegalalang Village in Gianyar, Bali, is recognized for its intricate wall décor craftsmanship, which significantly contributes to the local economy. However, craftsmen encounter challenges in innovation capability, market expansion, and business sustainability. This study aimed to enhance their innovation capacity through skill development, business strategy training, and digital adaptation to strengthen competitiveness and ensure industry sustainability. A participatory action research approach was implemented, involving 12 craftsmen in structured workshops and hands-on mentoring. The methodology encompassed a pre-test assessment of innovation capability, capacity-building interventions focused on product development, production efficiency, and digital marketing, followed by a post-test evaluation. The innovation capability instrument framework guided the assessment, addressing key aspects of manufacturing, sustainability, and business management. Findings demonstrated substantial improvements across all ten dimensions of innovation capability. Post-test results indicated enhanced knowledge in optimizing production processes, adopting digital marketing, and utilizing sustainable materials. The mean innovation capability score increased, affirming the program’s effectiveness. However, challenges persist in financial support, digital adoption, and global market expansion. This study underscores the value of structured innovation training in empowering SMEs in traditional industries. Future initiatives should emphasize long-term mentorship, financial access, and market expansion strategies to sustain innovation-driven growth.

Abstract

Roudlotul Ulum Bangil Pasuruan Elementary School began implementing the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) in the 2022/2023 academic year for grades 1 and 4. The school chose the Independent Sharing (Merdeka Berbagi) model, developing its own curriculum tools. However, most of the training attended by teachers was conducted online, limiting their practical understanding, particularly in designing teaching modules and assessment instruments aligned with the new curriculum. This community service program aims to strengthen teachers’ understanding and competence in implementing the Independent Curriculum through a three-stage process: preparation, seminar and training, and follow-up. It involved 28 teachers and was conducted over two days, from 30 to 31 July 2024. The effectiveness of the program was evaluated through pre- and post-training questionnaires and participant reflections. Results indicated a marked improvement in teachers’ understanding and confidence in preparing learning modules and assessment tools aligned with the Independent Curriculum principles. In conclusion, the program achieved its intended objectives. The active participation, institutional support, and demonstrated improvements in teacher competence reflect the relevance and impact of this initiative. The activity also supports Sustainable Development Goal 4 by promoting inclusive and equitable quality education through strengthened teacher capacity.

Abstract

In today’s global era, the internationalization of educational institutions is crucial. SD Muhammadiyah 4 Kota Malang acknowledged this necessity and is committed to providing high-quality education by adapting international standards. To fulfill this commitment as well as to support Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 4, the school aims to create an international learning environment where teachers and students use English for instructions. Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is a suitable approach for internationalizing education at this school, as it integrates subject learning with language development. This community service aimed to train and mentor teachers in using English effectively for international class preparation. The program focused on three key objectives: (1) enhancing teachers’ comprehension about CLIL, translanguaging, and trans-semiotizing concepts, (2) developing Classroom Passwords for all grade levels, and (3) implementing translanguaging and trans-semiotizing strategies. By understanding and applying CLIL, translanguaging, and trans-semiotizing, teachers can overcome anxiety about English use in the classroom. The teachers created verified Classroom Passwords which were registered for their intellectual property right and practiced translanguaging and trans-semiotizing in peer-teaching and real classroom settings as well as in virtual environment using Virtual Reality (VR).

Abstract

Coffee is one of the leading commodities in Harjokuncaran Village, South Malang, Indonesia, which is known as one of the robusta coffee-producing centers in Indonesia. The annual production is 1.5 tons/year in 4 harvests, with the peak harvest in July to August. Despite its great potential, the drying process is still conventionally done using solar heat without optimal control. This method takes a long time, and the results do not always meet the moisture content standards set by the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), so it is considered less efficient. This dedication program through PPK Ormawa is carried out to produce a coffee dryer with the help of technology in the Internet of Things (IoT) to produce quality according to SNI and increase quantity. The portable solar dryer is designed with a capacity of 80-100kg and a disassembly system, making it easy to move. The advantages of this dryer include energy efficiency, stable temperature at 50°C, and minimal contamination. In addition, the drying process is faster, from 7-14 days to 3-4 days. The methods used were tool design, training, mentoring, and testing of coffee beans in the Sucofindo laboratory. In addition, 25 farmers filled out questionnaires to determine the farmers' responses and understanding of the tool's operation, maintenance, and application usage. In addition, the results of testing coffee beans show that they follow SNI for conventional and use drying equipment. These findings indicate that the IoT-based dryer innovation has the potential to be a sustainable solution in increasing the quantity and quality of postharvest coffee.

Abstract

The fast growth of digital technology in today's world makes digital literacy and education more important than ever. Many women in the Cisauk Subdistrict, near BSD City in Tangerang, still lack access to digital knowledge. It becomes difficult for them to support their families and participate in public services, education, and healthcare. To address this issue, the lecturer at Universitas Terbuka initiated a community service program to enhance digital skills among women. The program focused on the integrated health post (Posyandu) cadres, Family Welfare Empowerment Team (TP PKK) members, and homemakers. They took part in discussions, hands-on sessions, and mentoring. The learning was based on four main ideas. These are digital skills, safety, ethics, and culture. The training showed them how to use mobile apps for health, education, finance, and other services. After the program, the women showed familiarity and confidence in using digital tools. They learned how to protect their data, spot false information, and make safe choices when using the internet. Many also began sharing what they learned with their families and neighbours. This program suggests that targeted and locally adapted training initiatives can effectively bridge the digital divide among underserved populations. By equipping women with the skills to navigate digital environments, the program not only enhanced individual agency but also strengthened community-level resilience and participation. The success of this initiative underscores the importance of collaboration with local organizations and the necessity for ongoing support to achieve a lasting impact. Future programs should scale this model to other underserved areas and continue building digital competencies that promote inclusive digital transformation.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health challenge in Indonesia, requiring a strategic and innovative approach to address it. This study discusses the TB education strategy through the independent and sustainable Active Case Finding (ACF) method by empowering cadres from the Mentari Sehat Indonesia Foundation (MSI) and Sebelas Maret University (UNS). This collaboration emphasizes the importance of integrating community and academic capacity to systematically increase awareness and early detection of TB. This approach is analyzed through the lens of Paul Virilio's dromology theory, which explains how the speed of information distribution, especially through digital technology, affects the effectiveness of health campaigns and education. This study is a qualitative study using a case study approach. Data were obtained from interviews and direct observations. Data validity used source triangulation. The results of the study show that the success of this strategy was driven by institutional support, multi-sector collaboration, and the use of digital media. However, there are obstacles in the form of social stigma of TB, low health literacy, and disparities in access to technology in vulnerable communities. Through dromology theory, the acceleration of information in public TB campaigns can be optimized to form collective awareness and behavioral change. Education based on cadre empowerment has also been shown to strengthen the sustainability of programs at the local level. Thus, innovation strategies through digital campaigns can become a TB education model that is adaptive, inclusive, and long-term sustainable.

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a cutting-edge educational tool that effectively visualizes invisible or abstract objects, such as internal human organs or plant anatomy. However, developing AR media requires specific skills and knowledge, which many teachers lack. This community service project aimed to assist science teachers at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Kota Batu in designing and utilizing AR media to enhance students' critical and creative thinking. The method involved a series of activities including awareness sessions, workshops, mentoring, implementation, and evaluation. As a result, participating teachers gained knowledge and skills in AR development, produced simple AR media, and successfully integrated it into the learning process. The project significantly contributed to the teachers’ professional development and supported the digital school program. The main outputs include AR media prototypes, published articles, and broader media dissemination.

Abstract

Belimbing wuluh (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) is a fruit plant with multiple uses as a food ingredient, traditional medicine, and raw material for processed food products. Despite its abundance in Triwungan Village, Kotaanyar District, Probolinggo Regency, its economic potential remains underutilized due to the lack of knowledge and skills in value-added processing. This community service project aimed to empower local Family Welfare Movement (Pemberdayaan dan Kesejahteraan Keluarga/PKK) women’s groups through training in processing belimbing wuluh into candied fruit and syrup. The program employed socialization, hands-on workshops, application of simple technology, and evaluation. Results showed that participants successfully produced processed products, gained practical skills, and demonstrated high enthusiasm, with 85% expressing motivation to develop independent micro-enterprises. The activity highlights the importance of community-based training to foster women’s empowerment, resource utilization, and rural entrepreneurship.

Abstract

This community service aimed to enhance traditional health literacy and the economic value of family medicinal plants through simplisia production. Using the Society Participatory method, 15 Aisyiyah women in Kucur Village, Malang, were trained in: (1) regulations of empirical traditional health services, (2) appropriate technology for simplisia processing, and (3) hands-on mentoring. Results showed a 59% increase in knowledge and 72% improvement in practical skills. The whole-form simplisia produced met BPOM standards and could be used for self-medication or sold as raw material without distribution permits. Participants were also trained in simple powdering methods (e.g., blending) to enhance product utility. The activity demonstrated the efficacy of community-based participatory approaches in integrating health autonomy and local economic development. Equipment limitations highlighted the need for grinders to optimize production. Future recommendations include establishing micro-enterprise groups, regulatory training for commercial herbal products, and program replication in similar rural settings. This initiative serves as a model for sustainable, locally-driven health and economic empowerment.
