Abstract

Digital technology has changed how people access information, especially through the internet, social media, and search engines. However, algorithmic personalization may limit information diversity and create filter bubbles and echo chambers. This study analyzes the role of libraries in raising public awareness of these phenomena in digital information consumption. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research was conducted at the Medan City Library and Archives Office with nine informants consisting of librarians and library users selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that users rely on digital media because it is fast and accessible, but this also increases the risk of homogeneous information exposure and weak information verification. Libraries support information literacy through credible sources, reference services, literacy programs, digital literacy seminars, digital library training, and anti-hoax education. This study concludes that libraries can help communities become more critical and selective in consuming algorithm-based digital information.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of librarian knowledge management at the Pakpak Bharat Regional Library using the Wiig Model. It aims to describe how librarians build, store, share, and use knowledge in library activities, as well as to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. This study employed an exploratory qualitative method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed based on the four stages of the Wiig Model: building knowledge, holding knowledge, pooling knowledge, and using knowledge. The findings indicate that knowledge management has begun to be implemented through work experience, leadership guidance, training, self-directed learning, standard operating procedures, archives, INLISLite, Bindella Pakpak, staff discussions, and user services. However, its implementation is not yet fully structured due to limited human resources, the absence of librarians with a library science background, irregular training, and limited documentation of work experiences. This study provides an empirical overview of early knowledge management practices among librarians in a developing regional library.

Abstract

The administration of hamlets at the grassroots level requires orderly data management and clear information presentation to support effective public services. Hamlet heads (Kepala Padukuhan) in Wedomartani Village still face limitations in processing administrative data and presenting information digitally, as recording activities largely rely on manual methods and paper-based forms. This community service activity aims to improve the competence of hamlet heads in administrative data processing and information visualization through the use of Microsoft Excel and Google Form. The activity was carried out through three stages, namely preparation, training implementation, and mentoring with evaluation, using participatory and learning by doing approaches. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test, direct observation, and a participant satisfaction questionnaire. The results showed an increase in the average participant mastery score from 37.2% in the pre-test to 81.6% in the post-test, an improvement of 44.4 points across the five trained competency aspects. Participants were able to process administrative data, create tables and simple charts in Microsoft Excel, and design digital forms with Google Form for community data collection. The activity also produced ready-to-use Excel and Google Form templates. It is concluded that practical and applicable training effectively strengthens the digital capacity of hamlet heads and supports more orderly, accurate, and efficient administrative governance.

Abstract

This study examines community meaning-making of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program implemented by PT Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (PT INALUM) in the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Batu Bara Regency. It aims to describe how the community interprets the CSR program and to identify the factors influencing such interpretations. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving five informants consisting of assisted MSME actors and surrounding community members. The data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that most informants interpreted PT INALUM’s CSR program positively because it was perceived to provide benefits for business development, environmental awareness, and social relations within the community. Based on Stuart Hall’s reception theory, the informants’ interpretations tended to fall within the dominant-hegemonic position, although elements of a negotiated position also appeared in the form of expectations for more continuous mentoring and program socialization. These interpretations were influenced by perceived program benefits, company communication, community involvement, and local social conditions. This study provides an empirical overview of community reception of CSR programs in the context of MSME development, without intending to measure the program’s impact quantitatively.

Abstract

Fiqh learning at the Islamic junior secondary school level requires learning media that can support students’ attention and engagement, particularly when the subject matter is often perceived as normative. This study aimed to examine the difference in the improvement of students’ interest in learning Fiqh between those taught using Wayground interactive quiz-based learning media and those taught through conventional instruction. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of 54 eighth-grade students at MTs Al-Mahrus Medan Deli, including 27 students in class VIII B as the experimental group and 27 students in class VIII A as the control group. The research instrument was a 20-item questionnaire measuring students’ interest in learning Fiqh, which was found to be reliable with a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.920. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, and the Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed that the mean gain score of the experimental group was 13.33, while that of the control group was 3.22. The Mann-Whitney U test yielded an Asymp. Sig. value of < 0.001, indicating a significant difference in the improvement of students’ learning interest between the two groups. These findings suggest that Wayground can be used as a supporting learning medium to enhance students’ interest in learning Fiqh within the context of this study.

Abstract

The Education Report Card supports education system evaluation and data-based planning at the school level. This study analyzes its implementation at SMP Negeri 1 Sawit Seberang and identifies supporting and inhibiting factors. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving school stakeholders. Data were analyzed using George C. Edwards III’s policy implementation framework: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings show that the Education Report Card has been used for school reflection, planning, and program development, although its utilization remains suboptimal. Supporting factors include internal communication, stakeholder commitment, planning documents, and the school quality assurance team. Inhibiting factors include uneven teacher understanding, limited communication with parents, inadequate facilities, and flood-related damage to learning resources. Strengthening data literacy, teacher capacity, stakeholder communication, and educational facilities is therefore necessary to optimize the Education Report Card for school improvement planning.

Abstract

This community service program implemented practice-based digital marketing and coding training to strengthen students’ digital entrepreneurship competencies at Bina Satria School. The program integrated experiential learning and project-based learning through website development using HTML, PHP, and MySQL, product catalog management, and digital promotion activities. Thirty students participated in six groups. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, identical pre-test and post-test questionnaires, and project assessment. The 12-item questionnaire was reviewed by three experts. Internal consistency testing yielded Cronbach’s α = 0.683 and standardized Cronbach’s α = 0.715. Before the training, 83.3% of participants reported no or limited understanding; after the training, 73.3% reported understanding or high understanding. All six groups completed functional website projects with scores ranging from 88 to 91. The findings indicate an aggregate shift toward higher understanding and support the practical feasibility of integrating coding and digital marketing in contextual entrepreneurship training. Because the evaluation used categorical descriptive data without a comparison group or paired inferential analysis, the findings do not establish the program’s causal effectiveness.

Abstract

This community service program examined the use of educational, persuasive, and participatory communication strategies combined with personal-branding education to strengthen junior high school students’ understanding of life planning and early-marriage prevention. The activity was conducted at SMP Negeri 8 Banjarmasin with 30 students and included a pre-test, interactive presentations, educational videos, discussion, reflection, quizzes, and a post-test. A 10-item yes/no questionnaire assessed knowledge related to marriage-age planning and personal branding, and the results were analyzed descriptively using frequencies and percentages. Across the 10 indicators, affirmative responses increased from 30.0–50.0% at pre-test to 83.3–93.3% at post-test. The largest percentage-point gains concerned knowledge of the recommended marriage age for women under the BKKBN Pendewasaan Usia Perkawinan program (33.3% to 86.7%) and understanding of personal branding (30.0% to 83.3%). The findings show a descriptive increase in students’ immediate knowledge after the activity. Because the evaluation used a single-group pre-test/post-test design without a control group or inferential testing, the results should not be interpreted as causal evidence of program effectiveness.

Abstract

This study investigated the implementation of the Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) Cake application in supporting EFL students' speaking practice at Al Ikhlas Islamic Boarding School Ujung Bone. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was used. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 35 tenth-grade students who had used the Cake application, followed by semi-structured interviews with seven selected participants. The findings indicate that students perceived the application as a useful tool for speaking practice because it increased motivation and self-confidence, reduced speaking anxiety, and encouraged positive attitudes toward technology-assisted language learning. Students also valued its engaging materials, interactive speaking activities, pronunciation feedback, and flexible access, which supported more frequent practice beyond the classroom. The study concludes that the Cake application can serve as a complementary MALL tool for supporting speaking practice in EFL contexts by promoting motivation, confidence, and active engagement. However, the findings represent students’ perceptions rather than objectively measured improvements in speaking performance.

Abstract

Social media enables local organizations to introduce cultural identity and local values to wider audiences. This study analyzes how the Instagram account of Putera Puteri Tebing Tinggi promotes the local wisdom of Tebing Tinggi City from a cultural communication perspective. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, with data collected through observation of Instagram posts, content documentation, and interviews with account managers. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the account is used mainly for organizational publication, event promotion, and participant image building rather than for sustained promotion of local wisdom. Local cultural elements, such as traditional attire, appear in several posts, but are rarely supported by educational narratives explaining their meanings, values, and contexts. The account therefore has strong potential as a cultural communication medium, but requires a more focused content strategy. Recommended actions include developing a cultural content calendar, creating regular local wisdom education rubrics, and collaborating with cultural communities to strengthen the promotion of local culture.
