Abstract

The National Madrasah Research Program serves as a powerful platform for madrasah students to compete at both national and international levels in scientific research through the Madrasah Young Researchers Supercamp (MYRES). This program aims to foster outstanding young talents with extraordinary creative ideas through scientific writing competitions. However, challenges persist, such as limited research skills among teachers, a lack of research-oriented guidebooks, and minimal training and mentoring for madrasah teachers. Students also show low interest in understanding the structure of scientific writing, and their research skills are generally considered underdeveloped. This study aims to optimize the Madrasah Research Program by providing training in proposal writing and exploring current research trends. The method used is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which includes the stages: to know, to understand, to plan, to act, and to change. The participants targeted in this study are mentor teachers and students. Based on the results, the training for teachers and students successfully enhanced the effectiveness of the Madrasah Research Program, particularly through workshops and mentoring in writing scientific articles. This improvement was reflected in several areas: increased potential in scientific writing, better understanding of managing the Madrasah Research Program, a greater number of written proposals, and higher interest and comprehension among participants regarding scientific work. Furthermore, participants demonstrated a stronger commitment to producing quality scientific writing, as evidenced by the availability of research idea documents developed into proposals aligned with the MYRES competition framework.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' entrepreneurial skills at SMK Muhammadiyah Rappang through an entrepreneurship-based training program in Pancarijang District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. Amid the challenges of globalization and technological advancements, SMK Muhammadiyah Rappang faces mismatched competencies between what is taught and the job market's needs. Many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and have limited access to relevant entrepreneurial training. This training program is designed to address challenges in production and marketing by providing the necessary skills to create quality products and market them using digital technology. The methods used in this research include initial needs assessment, product innovation training, and digital marketing and branding training. The program also provides guidance on implementing the marketing and production strategies taught. The results of this training show improved students' skills in product innovation, more efficient production management, and the ability to market products online through social media and e-commerce platforms. The discussion highlights that, although challenges in production and marketing still exist, the use of appropriate technology and an understanding of digital marketing can enhance the competitiveness of local products. This program provides students with entrepreneurial skills and empowers the local community to become independent and innovative entrepreneurs. The success of this program is expected to create new job opportunities and strengthen the local economy in Sidenreng Rappang Regency.

Abstract

This community service project aimed to promote environmental awareness and sustainable waste management practices among primary school students at SDN Kuin Cerucuk V Banjarmasin. The program targeted students aged 8–12, a critical developmental stage for instilling environmentally responsible behaviour. Using a participatory approach, the activities included educational sessions, practical waste sorting exercises, and the installation of visual learning aids. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were conducted through direct observation and questionnaires to evaluate knowledge acquisition and behavioural changes. The results indicated a substantial improvement in students’ understanding of waste types and segregation practices. Prior to the intervention, 71.4% of students demonstrated limited knowledge, which shifted significantly post-intervention, with 71.4% achieving the highest knowledge category. Observable behavioural changes included consistent use of segregated waste bins and increased attentiveness to school cleanliness. The active involvement of teachers and school management contributed to the program’s success. However, sustainability challenges remain, including limited time for long-term mentoring, resource constraints among staff, and the absence of community-level waste infrastructure. Despite these obstacles, the project demonstrates that early environmental education, supported by collaboration and practical engagement, can effectively foster long-term behavioural change and lay the foundation for an environmentally conscious.

Abstract

Improving the quality of learning is one of the main focuses in the field of education. One factor that plays a role in enhancing students' understanding is the use of interactive learning media. This media allows students to be more active in the learning process, especially in understanding abstract concepts. However, based on interviews with teachers at State Junior High School 1 Huamual Belakang, it was found that the utilization of interactive learning media at that school is still very minimal. Therefore, this Community Service Program (PKM) aims to train teachers in using PhET, Prezi, Seesaw, and Renderforest applications as interactive learning media that can improve student learning outcomes. The method used in this activity is direct instruction, which includes material presentation, demonstrations of application usage, simulations, and discussion and Q&A sessions. The evaluation was conducted through a questionnaire filled out by teachers and students after the training. The analysis results from the questionnaire indicate that the use of interactive learning media received positive feedback from both teachers and students. Teachers felt more assisted in delivering the material, while students found it easier to understand abstract concepts. Thus, this activity has a positive impact on enhancing teachers' skills in utilizing learning technology and helps students understand the material more effectively. This program is expected to be implemented sustainably in other schools to improve the quality of education.

Abstract

Financial Literacy, Investment, and Digital Financial Information Training at SMAS Garuda Palangka Raya. Increasingly complex economic dynamics encourage people to look for additional sources of income outside their main job. Investment has emerged as a popular alternative. However, being successful in investing is highly dependent on an individual's level of financial literacy, investment experience, and risk profile. This community service aims to increase public awareness, especially among students and teachers at SMAS Garuda Palangka Raya, who often use online shopping applications and pay-later payment schemes. The digital transactions habits among students and teachers that are not balanced with basic knowledge about financial management and investment can trigger excessive consumer behavior. With 31 participants from SMAS Garuda Palangka Raya, the team successfully trained and gave information about how to budget, manage income and also invest using a fintech application. The training evaluation concluded that participants had improved their understanding of financial management and investment. The majority of participants also understand the function of an emergency fund and have a sense of how to deal with investments with irrational levels of profit and how to deal with debt. By implementing financial management, investment, and digital financial information literacy training, the training participant will be able to develop more responsible financial behavior and avoid debt traps, and also in order to prevent high-risk financial practices, such as dependence on high-interest loans to meet consumer needs.

Abstract

The use of fertilizers plays an important role in increasing agricultural productivity. However, long-term dependence on chemical fertilizers poses a risk of reducing soil fertility, causing nutrient imbalances, and leading to the accumulation of chemical residues that negatively impact the soil ecosystem. Pandan Wangi Village, which develops the agricultural and livestock sectors side by side, still faces challenges in managing organic waste. This condition leads to environmental pollution and a high dependence on chemical inputs in agriculture. This program aims to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers by utilizing livestock waste as a raw material for organic fertilizers, which can enhance soil fertility and reduce environmental impacts. This activity involves socialization and training to improve the knowledge and skills of the community in independently producing organic fertilizers. This program is expected to provide long-term benefits for agricultural productivity and empower communities towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural system.
