Abstract

Household waste management, especially organic waste from the kitchen, is one of the serious problems faced by rural communities in Indonesia. Waste in the form of fruit peels and vegetable scraps from daily cooking activities is often not managed properly so it has the potential to pollute the environment and cause health problems. The purpose of waste management activities through the production of ecoenzyme is to assist the community of Tenggiring Village, Sambeng Sub-district, Lamongan Regency, in processing kitchen waste, such as vegetables and fruits, into valuable products. This activity is crucial considering the increasing global warming and the growing volume of household waste, thus processing organic waste into eco-enzyme can be an environmentally friendly solution. The fermentation product of eco-enzyme has many benefits, such as a natural floor and toilet cleaner, unclogging drains, fertilizing plants, repelling insects, and its residue can be utilized as organic fertilizer. The method used was participatory through socialization, counselling, and direct demonstration with the involvement of Universitas Muhammadiyah Lamongan students. The results show that the residents were able to understand and practice eco-enzyme production using simple ingredients such as brown sugar, vegetable and fruit residues, water, and recycled containers with a fermentation process of three months. The community showed high enthusiasm since the product proved useful for household, environmental, and agricultural needs, while also reducing the volume of organic waste. This activity had a positive impact in increasing environmental awareness among the community and demonstrated that organic waste management can be implemented in an affordable, easy, and sustainable way.

Abstract

Tandung village has the largest buffalo population in the Tinambung sub-district and in the entire Polewali Mandar district. The 39% increase in buffalo population over the past ten years to 320 buffalo has made the Tinambung sub-district the sub-district with the largest buffalo population in the Polewali Mandar district. The problems farmers face is related to the uncertainty of selling their livestock. When farmers need money, they will first bring some of their livestock to the animal market in North Tana Toraja Regency, which is 94 km from Tandung Village. The farmer will return the sheep to Tandung Village if the livestock is not sold. Farmers also must rent a pick-up truck to transport buffalo cattle or use a car if they are carrying a larger number. Therefore, community service activities were carried out to enable partners to maximise the use of Instagram as a digital marketing medium to help buffalo farmers in Tandung Village market with their livestock. The service activity consists of 4 stages: assessment, training, monitoring and evaluation, and publication. This service activity was carried out on 7 September 2024 in Tandung Village, Tinambung District, Polewali Mandar Regency. This service activity was attended by 32 participants, consisting of service partners, namely members of the Simemangan Livestock Farmer Group, and Field Agricultural Extension Officers (PPL) and village officials. The method used in the training stage is the participatory extension approach, accompanied by demonstrations and practices related to digital marketing. Community service activities at the Simemangan Livestock Farmer Group, Tandung Village, Tinambung District, and Polewali Mandar Regency increased general knowledge about digital marketing, especially using Instagram as a promotional medium. Based on the pre-test and post-test evaluation, it can improve understanding from 44% to 77%.

Abstract

In Indonesia, soil-transmitted worm infestation remains a serious public health problem, especially for young children. The high incidence of worms increases the risk of stunting, anemia, and malnutrition in children. Prevention efforts are hampered by low public awareness and the belief that worms are not a serious disease. The objective of this community service project is to educate mothers of toddlers and Integrated Health Post cadres about worm prevention. Counselling and health education through booklets are among the techniques used at integrated health post Kemuning A, Ratu Jaya Community Health Center. Participants in this activity consisted of 17 mothers of toddlers and 9 cadres from the integrated health post. On December 17, 2025, the activity was carried out through counselling, discussions, and a question-and-answer session. The results of a qualitative evaluation showed that mothers' awareness of risk factors and how to prevent worms had increased, as had the cadres' knowledge, awareness, and confidence in educating the community. It was concluded that by using Integrated health post-based education strategies, this program succeeded in empowering the community to prevent worms in toddlers.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance students' and community members' knowledge, awareness, and participation in climate change mitigation efforts through socialization and mangrove seedling planting. The selection of mangrove seedling planting locations is based on observations of degrading mangrove forests that still have the potential for natural regeneration. In addition, the location is prioritized in areas experiencing anthropogenic pressure, coastal erosion, and excessive sedimentation. Socio-economic considerations are also a key factor. The planting location is close to residential areas to encourage public participation and environmental awareness. This activity is carried out in the mangrove forest tourism area, Oesapa village, Kelapa Lima sub-district, Kupang City, over a period of 2 months, namely November – December. The method for implementing the activity consists of three stages: socializing students about the role of mangrove forests; cleaning the area with the surrounding community; planting mangrove seedlings; and initial maintenance and monitoring. In addition to increasing knowledge and awareness of mangrove forests' functions, this activity also contributes to the rehabilitation of mangrove areas. It strengthens collaboration among students, the community, the government, and academics in the effort to preserve mangrove forests.

Abstract

The Indonesian Community Association (PERMAI) is a nonprofit organization that supports Indonesian communities living in Malaysia. One of its educational programs is Sanggar Bimbing (SB) Permai, which provides access to education for Indonesian children who face difficulties obtaining formal education. In this program, students are introduced to Indonesian curriculum materials, including citizenship, history, culture, and the Indonesian language, as well as academic subjects such as basic science. However, limited facilities and teaching staff restrict the amount of material students receive. Therefore, an enrichment program on basic science was conducted through simple experiments to improve students’ science process skills. The program was implemented in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The results showed a moderate improvement in students’ science understanding (N-gain = 0.53), very positive participant responses (average score = 4.38), and well-developed science skills, including observing, planning experiments, using tools and materials, and conducting experiments. Overall, the simple experiment activities received positive responses, although improvements are still needed to enhance their effectiveness and implementation according to students’ conditions.

Abstract

This community service aims to empower elementary school students through the development and implementation of website-based English learning media using a participatory approach. English learning in elementary schools is still dominated by conventional methods that provide limited interactive learning experiences for students. This study employed Participatory Action Research (PAR) combined with the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, conducted at Dungkek 1 Public Elementary School for four weeks. The stages included Discovery (local asset mapping), Dream (shared vision formulation), Design (learning website development), and Delivery (implementation and evaluation). A learning website was successfully developed with three main features: theory menu (eight parts of speech and tenses), learning video menu, and interactive games. Teachers gained a new understanding in utilizing digital media, while students showed high enthusiasm with increased active participation in learning. Pre-test and post-test results showed a 65% improvement in English material comprehension. The PAR-ABCD approach proved effective in empowering elementary school students through digital learning media, creating a sense of ownership of the program and ensuring sustainability of learning technology utilization.

Abstract

Physics learning in senior high schools still faces various challenges, including low student participation, the perception that physics is a difficult subject, and limited variation in teaching methods and learning media. One effort to address these challenges is through teaching assistance activities involving physics education students. This activity aims to support physics teachers in the learning process while providing authentic teaching experience for pre-service physics teachers. The teaching assistance was implemented through three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation, carried out collaboratively by students and physics teachers at SMAN 1 Ende over one month. The results indicate that the presence of teaching assistant students increases student participation, fosters more enthusiastic learning attitudes, and supports students’ conceptual understanding through direct assistance and group discussions. In addition, this activity provides valuable professional experience for physics education students in classroom management and reflective teaching practices with mentor teachers. Therefore, teaching assistance activities can be considered an effective strategy to enhance the quality of physics learning in senior high schools.

Abstract

This community service program aims to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a tool to assist teachers in developing Classroom Action Research (CAR) proposals. The use of AI has significant potential to support a more adaptive, systematic, and efficient proposal-writing process, reducing the time required. Through this technology, teachers are expected to more easily formulate research problems, develop background sections, and design instructional actions for use in the classroom. In addition, the use of AI is expected to enhance teachers’ confidence in conducting independent research and to promote continuous improvement in the quality of teaching and learning. The program is carried out through several stages, including a needs analysis to identify teachers’ challenges, workshops and mentoring sessions on AI-based CAR proposal development, and evaluation and reflection to assess outcomes and plan future improvements. Through this program, teachers are expected not only to understand the concept of Classroom Action Research but also to be able to develop effective proposals and utilize AI appropriately in their academic activities.
