Abstract

This community service activity aims to empower the community in innovative and sustainable plastic waste management. The program is implemented through three main activities, namely socialization of plastic waste management and circular economy, training in making triangular bricks from plastic waste, and creating social media accounts to market Bank Sampah products. The brick-making process involves shredding plastic using a shredder, conducting a sieve analysis to ensure uniform particle size, then mixing it with sand and cement before molding it into a triangular shape. From the initial stage of production, 300 triangular bricks were successfully produced with lightweight and strong characteristics. Through this activity, the community not only gained technical skills but also digital promotion skills to expand their market reach. This program demonstrates that collaboration between universities and the community can yield concrete solutions for plastic waste management while supporting the implementation of a circular economy and sustainable development.

Abstract

Waste management remains a significant challenge in many communities, particularly in urban areas, where densely populated housing is prevalent, and improper disposal can lead to environmental damage and health risks. . In response to this, the concept of an Integrated Waste Processing Facility (TPST), established in Mulyoagung Village, Dau District, emerged as a sustainable solution.  However, the Dau TPST Management faces the problem of not having a special waste sorting machine, making the TPST's performance ineffective, as it still relies on manual waste sorting activities carried out by women worker, which poses a risk to health risks. Also, TPST still rely on traditional marketing in selling their product. Therefore the aims of the community service is assisting TPST to provide the appropriate waste sorting machine and e-commerce platform. The method implemented in the community service is started by situational analysis of the target, design and manufacturing of waste sorting machines for organic and non-organic waste, built prototype and to test the functionality in a controlled setting, provide training for staff on machine operation and maintenance, integrate with existing workflows, and monitor the performance of machine. The e-commerce assistance was conducted by giving training in e-commerce and community awareness to waste management. The result of the program is positive both in sorting machine application and e-commerce and awareness as concluded from the survey before and after the program.

Abstract

Character education in elementary schools still faces obstacles due to the dominance of lecture methods and a lack of contextual learning experiences. The Character Garden Program was developed as a community service innovation to strengthen teachers' capacity in integrating character values ​​through school garden-based learning in Indihiang District, Tasikmalaya City. The activity was implemented using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving lecturers, teachers, principals, and the education community. A total of 39 teachers from seven elementary schools participated in training, module development, and implementation of the character garden in their respective schools. The results showed a significant increase in teachers' understanding of character education integration, with an average pre-test score of 61.05 increasing to 77.24 (p < 0.001). Among students, responsible behavior increased from 2.61 to 3.40, and mutual cooperation from 2.63 to 3.36. Teachers also reported positive changes in the form of increased student discipline and environmental awareness. This program produced a Character Garden module that has been used in seven schools and registered as IPR. This activity has had an impact on improving teachers' pedagogical competence and the formation of a character-based school culture. The next program recommendation is to expand the implementation of the Character Garden by utilizing teacher working groups to implement learning activities that foster character education in a concrete way. Long-term mentoring is also needed to strengthen the program's sustainability and evaluate the impact of student character in real-life contexts.

Abstract

English teachers in Singkawang City have so far engaged in professional development primarily on an individual basis, with limited organisational collaboration and support. Although professional forums such as Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP) exist, their activities are often inactive and fail to effectively engage members. This condition makes it difficult for teachers to access structured professional development opportunities and collaborative learning. This Community Service Programme consisted of technical guidance activities for organising workshops aimed at promoting collaboration among English teachers, with the goal of building a sustainable professional network and enhancing organisational capacity. The programme was implemented through needs analysis, mentoring, and collaborative activities, with data collected via focus group discussions (FGDs), social media discussions, and online surveys. A team of lecturers from Tanjungpura University facilitated online mentoring sessions, including coordination with national and international educational organisations. Subsequently, the team, together with colleagues from Muhammadiyah University of Pontianak, conducted on-site mentoring activities in Singkawang City. The results of the programme indicated an increase in teachers’ collaboration, motivation, and confidence. The participating teachers actively engaged in activity planning, improved their communication and organisational skills, and developed collaborative learning approaches. The programme successfully established a relatively strong professional network that supports independent, sustainable development initiatives.

Abstract

Despite the rich potential of local cultural resources to contextualise biology learning, many teachers still have limited experience and practical support to translate local wisdom into structured SSI-oriented instructional modules. This community service programme aimed to strengthen senior high school biology teachers’ capacity to design Socioscientific Issues (SSI)-based teaching modules by integrating local wisdom from Sasirangan cloth (motifs and natural dyes) and a supporting digital platform (Sasirangan Verse). The three-day workshop involved 30 biology teachers from 15 senior high schools in Banjarmasin City (MGMP Biology). Training activities combined concept building on SSI and deep learning, local-context exploration (natural dye plants and environmental-health issues of synthetic dyes), collaborative module writing, peer feedback, and initial validation. Programme data were collected through documentation and a post-workshop questionnaire (7 items). Descriptive results showed uniformly positive responses: for most items, 50.0–60.0% of participants selected ‘strongly agree’ and the remainder selected ‘agree’. The highest endorsement was reported for integrating local wisdom (60.0% strongly agree) and fostering critical thinking (60.0% strongly agree), while readiness to adapt modules in schools was positive but more cautious (73.3% agree; 26.7% strongly agree). Overall, the programme produced SSI-based module prototypes (including LKPD, assessment rubrics, and metacognitive journals) and indicated strong acceptability, suggesting the need for follow-up mentoring to support classroom implementation.

Abstract

This community service project aimed to improve the English proficiency of members of the youth organization at Baitul Hakim Mosque, UIN Sayyid Ali Rahmatullah Tulungagung, through a 16-session English short course. The program covered grammar focus, speaking, reading, and writing practices, using communicative and task-based approaches. Learning activities emphasized active participation, contextual language use, and collaborative tasks to create a supportive and engaging learning environment for mosque-based youth. Pre- and post-tests were administered, and the improvement was measured using Hake’s N-Gain formula. Results showed medium average N-Gain scores across all skill areas: grammar focus (0.325), speaking (0.36), reading (0.36), and writing (0.32). These findings indicate that the program effectively facilitated measurable improvement in participants’ English skills, with speaking and reading showing the highest gains, while writing remained the most challenging skill. The conclusion is that while the English enhancement coaching was effective in generating measurable improvements, particularly at the medium level, further serious efforts are needed to optimize instructional strategies. Besides, future implementations should consider extending the course duration, incorporating individualized learning paths, providing more intensive and sustained feedback—especially for writing—and leveraging a variety of engaging learning materials to better facilitate higher levels of language mastery among participants.
