Abstract

Strengthening teacher capacity in 3T areas requires an approach that goes beyond conventional pedagogical training by integrating entrepreneurial competencies, differentiated learning, and leveraging local potential. This study presents a teacherpreneur training model for elementary/middle school/community learning center teachers on Harapan Island, Thousand Islands, which is operationalized through a convergent mixed-methods design. The design incorporates attendance measurement, multi-component evaluation scores, and qualitative findings from observations and structured interviews. Field data shows 22 participants from various schools, an attendance rate of 83%, and a distribution of quiz, case study, and practice scores indicating substantial competency achievement in the dimensions of creativity, utilization of local potential, partnership networks, and educational entrepreneurship practices. The integration of quantitative and qualitative findings confirms the relevance of the training to the island context, which faces limitations in infrastructure, technology access, and professional development opportunities. The discussion links the findings to current literature on teacherpreneurial competence, partnership management, differentiated instruction, and digital-based service-learning practices. This study offers theoretical implications for the construction of teacherpreneur competencies and practical implications for program replication in other 3T regions. The recommendations emphasize strengthening post-training mentoring, orchestrating local networks, and digital portfolio-based reporting for sustainable impact.

Abstract

Feed is a crucial requirement in the livestock sector, whether for cattle, fish, chickens, or birds. Frequently rising feed prices make it difficult for farmers to meet their livestock's needs. This also presents a problem for the Trisula Jaya Farmer Group, which focuses on chicken and catfish farming. On the other hand, organic waste production in the community is increasing. Considering these two issues, the Trisula Jaya Farmer Group conducted community service activities to meet the need for animal feed by converting organic waste into animal feed. The community service methods implemented included the use of organic waste shredding machines, drying machines, flouring machines, and temperature and humidity monitoring systems using IoT technology. In addition to implementing organic waste processing technology into maggots, processing maggots into animal feed, using temperature and humidity monitoring systems using IoT technology, training was also conducted on how to operate organic waste processing machines, maggot processing, and using temperature and humidity monitoring systems using IoT technology. Based on the results of the application of technology to process organic waste into maggots and convert them into animal feed using a temperature and humidity monitoring system using IoT technology, the maggots processing has been significantly helpful for the Trisula Jaya Farmer Group in providing feed for the livestock they cultivate.

Abstract

The Sembalun Mushroom Initiative aims to strengthen food security and resilience to disasters in Sembalun Bumbung and circumstance villages through the utilization of biogas energy for the pasteurization process of mushrooms. These areas are prone to disasters, making the supply of food and sustainable energy a major challenge. The project utilizes cow dung waste as an environmentally friendly biogas source to support pasteurization and mushroom cultivation. Traditionally, mushroom pasteurization processes still use firewood, which triggers deforestation, high carbon emissions, and health risks from smoke. The community service team from the University of Mataram has developed biogas technology as an alternative solution. The biogas installation at the At-Tazkiyah Islamic Boarding School was completed in May 2024 and began operating in July 2024, thereafter a mushroom house has been built for mushroom cultivation in early 2025. During this community service project, a gas pasteurization system is installed and used for pasteurization, followed by training and capacity building for the community in utilizing green energy sources. The aim is to introduce a transition to environmentally friendly technologies, as well as to support innovation, sustainability, and community engagement. The activities are an international collaboration between the Postgraduate Program and the Faculty of Engineering at University of Mataram and the Fatoni University in Thailand. It is expected to expand Unram's international exposure and strengthen cooperation between countries.

Abstract

The development of the digital era has brought significant changes to children's education patterns, which not only emphasizes cognitive aspects but also demands the development of life skills, including an entrepreneurial spirit. Entrepreneurship from an early age is seen as an important strategy for instilling independence, creativity, innovation, and the courage to take risks. Integrating art, particularly traditional Batak Toba music, with entrepreneurship education offers a relevant approach to shaping a generation that is creative, productive, and rooted in local culture. However, several key issues still exist, such as children's low awareness of the economic value of artwork, minimal use of simple technology in art education, and a lack of innovation in art products aimed at business opportunities. To address these challenges, the service team from Sisingamangaraja XII University of Tapanuli implemented the program "Entrepreneurship-Based Multicultural Education: Fostering Batak Toba Cultural Awareness and Entrepreneurial Creativity in Early Childhood Education Children in Jagung Village, Tampahan District" in Gurgur Aek Raja Village, Tampahan District, Toba Regency. The participants in the activity included 32 preschool children, 2 teachers, parents, traditional music trainers, and the community service team. The implementation method is designed in five main stages: (1) socialization about the importance of art entrepreneurship from an early age; (2) introductory and practical training on traditional Batak Toba musical instruments (hasapi, sulim, taganing, garantung, sordam); (3) application of simple technology thru the creation of musical instruments from local materials; (4) continuous mentoring and evaluation; and (5) program sustainability planning thru integration into the early childhood education curriculum. The results of the activities show a positive response from all parties. The children looked enthusiastic, more confident, and were able to play simple rhythmic patterns. Teachers gained new skills to integrate traditional music into learning, while parents increasingly supported children practicing at home. The handover of a set of traditional musical instruments strengthens the sustainability of the program. Additionally, the activities resulted in innovations in the form of hard technology (modified traditional musical instruments and simple musical instruments made from local materials) and soft technology (local culture-based learning methods, musical skills, and knowledge of art entrepreneurship). The evaluation shows an improvement in understanding of Batak Toba culture, musical skills, creativity, and early indications of an entrepreneurial spirit in children. The real impact of this program can be seen in three main dimensions: (1) education, namely the development of children's creativity, courage, and skills; (2) socio-cultural, namely the growth of awareness and pride in preserving Batak Toba culture; and (3) economic, namely the emergence of business opportunities based on traditional art and music. The external activities include scientific articles, mass media publications, documentary videos, and educational posters.

Abstract

Public speaking skills are still not fully possessed by students. This reluctance to appear in public is due to low self-confidence and a lack of public speaking skills. This inability causes what should be effective communication to become degraded. Even in public, communication misunderstandings often occur. This misunderstanding was documented and spread across the internet. As a service team, we took the initiative to conduct a public speaking activity at SMA 4 Pasundan Bandung. The Community Service activity aims to improve students' public speaking skills, enhance their ability to express ideas or opinions, boost their learning motivation, and increase their self-confidence. Public speaking skills are still not fully possessed by students. Therefore, by carrying out this service activity, we hope that the output from the students of SMA 4 Pasundan Bandung will be able to improve their good communication skills and increase their learning motivation and self-confidence, both in the classroom, within the school environment, outside the surrounding environment, and in their future work environment.
