Abstract

Optimal public service by an institution is closely tied to effective communication practices. However, at the West Aceh Police, the desire to maximize public services is impeded by communication problems between police officers and the public during service provision. This issue has prompted community service activities aimed at enhancing public services by improving communication skills, particularly through a humanistic approach. The training involved 30 members of the West Aceh Police and utilized various methods such as lectures, discussions, basic communication techniques training, and public speaking exercises. The objective was to identify communication shortcomings in service provision, evaluate them based on participants' experiences, and rectify them to enhance performance. Results revealed that participants frequently encountered communication failures with the public and had yet to fully implement a humanistic communication approach. However, the training significantly improved participants' ability to analyze and reflect on communication failures, empowering them to devise their own solutions.

Abstract

Omah Jamur Ungaran is one of the businesses engaged in oyster mushroom cultivation, facing challenges with the waste from the oyster mushroom cultivation process. Baglog waste can be crushed using a baglog crusher machine, which separates the growing medium from its packaging. The aim of this community service project is to provide a solution by creating a baglog crusher machine to enhance production capacity and improve the efficiency of the process. This project has resulted in a baglog crusher machine designed to crush baglog waste, which can then be used to produce processed products such as briquettes. The machine is powered by an electric motor, thereby increasing the efficiency of the baglog waste crushing process.

Abstract

Elementary school children generally start to be able to choose the foods they want. However, when selecting foods, they tend to choose visually appealing, inexpensive, and easily accessible foods without considering their nutritional content. This makes elementary school children vulnerable to health problems due to unhealthy snacks. The aim of this community service activity is to increase students' knowledge about dangerous snacks and how to detect them, provide examples of healthy alternatives from medicinal plants, and practice making food and drinks from medicinal plants. This educational activity is conducted at Athalla Cendekia Elementary School in Bogor. The method used in this community service activity is delivering materials and practicing the detection of additives such as rhodamine-b, formalin, and borax in several snack food samples around the school. Some of the snack foods tested include sausages, meatballs, sauces, fried tofu, fried meatballs, jelly, and sweetened condensed milk. Testing is carried out using reagent kits, and all 6th-grade students (25 students) are actively involved in the implementation process. Food and drink processing are conducted through direct practice in the manufacturing process and direct practice in the planting process of medicinal plants. The results of the activity show that the training proceeds attractively, with each child recording the test results in a testing booklet and being able to present the test results. Some foods tested positive for containing formalin, while some tested negative. With this education and training on detecting additives, students' knowledge increases as they can identify the types of foods containing harmful additives in the tested samples.

Abstract

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is an approach to learning in schools, including SMAIT Al-Fityan Kubu Raya. However, the school faces challenges in implementing STEM due to a lack of understanding and experience among teachers and the utilization of local wisdom. This community service program aims to assist SMAIT Al-Fityan Kubu Raya in designing STEM-based learning by integrating local wisdom through lesson study. The method used consists of four stages: 1) preparation, 2) socialization, 3) training and guidance for implementation, and 4) monitoring and evaluation. The results obtained from this program indicate that: 1) 92% consider STEM as something new, 2) 80% find the material easy to understand, 3) 75% believe there is suitability and interest among teachers in applying local wisdom-based STEM, and 4) 67% of teachers feel they are not yet able to implement STEM in their teaching. Participant understanding levels fall into the very good category with an N-Gain of 0.83. Therefore, the lesson study approach can enhance teachers' skills in designing and implementing chemistry learning by integrating STEM with local wisdom from West Kalimantan.
