Abstract

The purpose of this single-participant case study, conducted through purposeful sampling and semi-structuredinterviews,is to gain a deep understanding of how Chilean English teachers construct the beliefs that inform their methodology in disadvantagedcontexts.Theinvestigation was guided by the followingquestions: 1. How  do  teachers  construct  their  beliefs  about  English  language  teaching methodology? 2. What types of factors are involved in the construction of those beliefs? The  data  were meticulously collectedand  subsequently thematically analysed. The analysis   identified   six   themes:previous   experience,   social interaction,   teaching   materials,   attitudes   towards   mistakes,   teacher   self-evaluation,  and  challenges  outside  the  classroom.  Although  the  study  confirms the findings of previous studies, two relevant themes, attitudes towards mistakes and  challenges  outside  the  classroom,  emerged  to  contribute  to  the  theoretical development of teachers’methodological beliefs. These two themes stand out as they shed light on how teachers of English in Chile maximisethe classroom time to teach Englishandtreatmistakeswith a positive attitude as a way topromote adaptability and resilience in contexts where speakingEnglish outside the schoolis extremely limited. Unlike previous studiesthat examinedclassroom dynamicsand mistakes in isolation, our study offers fresh insights into the complex world of  methodological  beliefs  among  Chilean  teachers  of  English  in disadvantagedcontexts.Future research should incorporate observations alongside interviews, increase participant numbers for deeper insights, and explore how attitudes and external challenges influence methodology beliefs in ELT

Abstract

Visualization is becoming as the most frequent tool for examining and extracting information from datasets by novice and professional researchers alike. Many data processing applications help to present and report data. One of the digital tools that is quite widely used is Google Data Studio. This Community Service activity aims to provide data visualization training to Triharjo Village, one of the villages that still does not use digitalization to access village data online. Natural Resources Data Visualization Training Using Google Data Studio in Triharjo Village, Merbau Mataram District, South Lampung Regency has been successfully implemented and attended by 10 (ten) participants consisting of village officials. This activity is very necessary to facilitate the monitoring of agricultural products from Triharjo Village on the dashboard via the village website. The target in community service has also been achieved and serves to provide problem solving for problems that occur with partners, namely in the form of: 1. Can introduce the Tiharjo village community to the importance of digitizing performance dashboards. 2. Can teach how to use Google Data Studio tools which can be used to help the process of creating Dashboards. With this training, it is hoped that it can help manage natural resource data which will help village officials and village communities, teachers and students in providing information services related to data visualization.

Abstract

The function of reservoirs is crucial for storing water, especially during the rainy season. The ongoing issue at Pogar Reservoir is the barren condition of the area and the limited knowledge among the community regarding the reservoir's role in climate control. Based on these issues, efforts are needed to raise community awareness of the importance of reservoirs through revitalization activities at Pogar Reservoir. The community service method used is the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. This service was carried out by a team in coordination with the local government. Additionally, socialization was conducted to help the community understand the proper management of the reservoir. The revitalization program was then implemented in the areas around the reservoir by planting Petai trees and others. The results of this service were appreciated by the local government and the community, with tree planting in the reservoir area, restoring the reservoir's function as a better-maintained green area, and turning it into a potential village tourism destination that supports local economic growth and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This revitalization also created job opportunities for the local community, and the previously barren reservoir area has become greener and better maintained.

Abstract

Indonesia ranks as the second-largest producer of plastic waste in the world, with plastic taking around 1,000 years to decompose, leading to environmental pollution. One effective solution is the implementation of the 3R concept (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and the production of ecobricks, which can be easily done using available materials and tools. This community service project aims to raise public awareness, particularly in Karang Umpu Village, about using ecobricks to maintain environmental cleanliness and health. The method used is educational outreach, enabling the community to understand how to manage and repurpose plastic waste. The results showed an increase in public knowledge regarding the types, utilization, and management of plastic waste by 85%, compared to 53% before the outreach. With this outreach, the community is expected to be able to manage and repurpose plastic waste through the ecobrick method, preventing waste accumulation and reducing environmental pollution, thereby creating a clean and healthy environment.

Abstract

Osteoarhritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative disease characterized by wear on the cartilage structure. In UNS hospital, knee OA is ranked as the 2nd largest cases, after low back pain. Misleading beliefs that OA is an incurable, progressive disease that is associated with specific causal factors can lead patients to cut down on physical activities and adapt to restricted lifestyle with less spontaneity, which in many cases results in a great feeling loss and isolation associated with a reduction in social relationship. There is an urgent need to mitigate this negative impact, using proper patient-education strategies to better manage the disease and improve the concordance between patients’ expectations and treatment outcomes. Overall, patient knowledge about the disease is still inadequate. The aim of this study is to increase the knowledge of patients and patients’ caregiver at UNS hospital about symptoms dan treatment of knee OA. The step of this study consisted of preparation, implementation and evaluation. Before giving education, the participants did pre-test, and after education, the participants did post-test, to know the level of participants’ knowledge about the education. There were 22 female (67%) and 11 male (33%) participants. Mean of the level of participants’ knowledge about 5,42 before giving education, and 7,31 after giving education, so there was an enhancement about 1,89. This program ran well. There was an enhancement level of patients’ and caregiver’s knowledge before and after giving education.

Abstract

Early childhood education is one of the most basic levels of education for children's growth and development. Teachers who provide education for early childhood are required to have a special level of education and competence in compiling teaching modules for learning activities. Information technology literacy supports teachers in solving administrative problems. One of the administrative things that teachers routinely do is make report cards for their students. Using Microsoft Excel software has many features and functions that can help in creating reports. Apart from that, teaching materials in learning need to be considered, including teaching modules which must be developed by teachers themselves to suit the environmental context and learning needs of their students, including teachers in Early Childhood Education (PAUD). The aim of this service is to create teaching modules for learning activities. The method used in the activity was training using lecture, question and answer and discussion methods, with a total of 156 participants which was carried out over two days. Through this activity, participants' skills and understanding increased regarding the use of Microsoft Excel software and all teachers understood more about teaching modules, preparation steps and the use of Excel in making report cards.
