Abstract

Enhancing lecturers’ research productivity is a strategic priority in higher education, particularly in institutions where publication performance is constrained by limited research mapping skills and low bibliometric literacy. This study addresses the need to strengthen lecturers’ ability to identify research trends, position manuscripts strategically, and target reputable journals through a structured bibliometric training model. The community service program aimed to develop and evaluate a participatory bibliometric training framework to improve scientific article writing. Eight lecturers from the Diploma III Mechanical Engineering and Applied Bachelor MICE programs at PNJ PSDKU Demak were selected using purposive sampling, based on their active involvement in research activities and interest in improving publication skills. The training consisted of sequential stages: introduction to bibliometric concepts, systematic data retrieval from Scopus, article screening using PRISMA and PICOS, data visualization with VOSviewer and Biblioshiny, and guided manuscript development. Participants’ cognitive improvement was measured using structured pre-test and post-test instruments assessing bibliometric understanding and research mapping skills, administered through an online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the normalized gain (N-Gain) method. Results showed a significant increase in participants’ competencies, with N-Gain scores ranging from 0.72 to 0.80, indicating high improvement. The findings demonstrate that integrating bibliometric mapping into academic writing training enhances strategic research awareness beyond technical writing skills. This model reconceptualizes bibliometric tools as pedagogical instruments and provides a practical, replicable framework for improving lecturers’ publication performance and supporting sustainable quality education.

Abstract

The coastal waste problem in Pariaman City, driven by rising plastic volumes, limited infrastructure, and disposal behaviors, threatens ecosystems and the tourism sector and requires coordinated intervention. This community service aims to implement an integrated cleanup with waste sorting and initial processing, while strengthening community capacity and environmental awareness. The “Coastal Clean-Up Campaign” applied a community-based participatory approach through coordinated clean-ups, source-level sorting, and initial composting. A total of 150 participants, including lecturers, students, village officials, and tourism stakeholders, were involved across 200-meter zones, supported by student-led scientific monitoring, before–after documentation, and the handover of bins and sorted waste to village authorities. The results indicate that the program was implemented effectively, with active stakeholder participation, visible environmental improvements, and the collection of 250 kg of sorted plastic and paper, some of which demonstrated economic value. This study presents a practical and replicable participatory model that integrates mass clean-up activities with source control, local governance support, and tourism stakeholder engagement. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening technical capacity, institutional support, periodic monitoring, and circular economy pathways to ensure sustainability. The program also increased environmental awareness and fostered local waste management groups, with outcomes that can support policy development and replication in other coastal tourism areas.

Abstract

Ecoprint has become a popular creative industry trend in Yogyakarta. However, this popularity has not been offset by the availability of systematic learning media in schools, making it difficult for students to absorb local materials effectively due to the lack of interactive visual guidance. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of ecoprint learning media. The method used was quantitative descriptive with a closed questionnaire. The respondents consisted of 23 art teachers and 157 junior and senior high school students in Yogyakarta, selected through purposive sampling based on the criteria of active involvement in art learning. The results of the study showed that teachers and students were very enthusiastic about the use of ecoprint media with a percentage above 71%. Therefore, the development of varied and interactive learning media is needed to increase focus and deepen students' understanding of adaptive local wisdom art learning in schools.

Abstract

In the current digital era, logical thinking skills and technological understanding are increasingly essential for vocational high school (SMK) students preparing to enter a technology-driven workforce. This community service program aimed to strengthen students’ logical thinking skills through STEM-based learning activities focused on the configuration and programming of line follower robots. The program was conducted over one month and comprised three stages: focus group discussion with school partners, development of instructional materials, and training sessions. The training involved 17 students. Participants were introduced to fundamental concepts of line follower robots, including basic logic, sensors, and programming principles, and then applied this knowledge through practical tasks. Evaluation results showed that 76% of students expressed increased interest in further learning robotics, while all participants (100%) successfully completed the assigned task of programming the robot to navigate from the starting point to the finish line. These findings indicate that robotics-based learning effectively supports the program’s objective of enhancing logical thinking while simultaneously increasing students’ engagement with STEM concepts. By integrating theoretical explanations with direct practice, the line follower robot served as an accessible and meaningful medium for translating abstract logical reasoning into concrete technological applications. The main contribution of this community service activity lies in offering an applied STEM learning model for vocational high schools, particularly in contexts with limited prior exposure to robotics. This program provides a practical reference for integrating educational robotics into SMK learning environments to strengthen logical reasoning, technical competence, and students’ motivation to pursue STEM-related fields.

Abstract

This community service program was conducted in response to the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which requires stronger digital literacy and practical STEM competencies in schools. The program aimed to introduce IoT-based STEM learning to teachers and students at Situraja State Senior High School (SMAN Situraja), a rural school in West Java, Indonesia, to enhance digital literacy and promote hands-on STEM education. To achieve this, the program implemented an IoT-based distance monitoring project using an ultrasonic sensor, an ESP32 microcontroller, and the Blynk platform through a project-based learning approach that included lectures, collaborative practical sessions, and interactive feedback activities. The program was evaluated using post-activity questionnaires administered to both teachers and students to capture their perceptions of the learning activities and outcomes. The results showed highly positive teacher responses, with 75–100% of participants selecting "strongly agre across all evaluation items, including 100% agreement on understanding IoT data transmission and the relevance of STEM integration. Student feedback also indicated positive motivation toward STEM learning, with 48% of students strongly agreeing that the activity increased their interest in STEM. However, student responses related to physics concept understanding and real-world application were more varied, with up to 48% selecting neutral responses in these areas. This difference suggests that teachers more readily recognized the instructional relevance of the program, while some students were still adapting to newly introduced IoT and physics concepts.

Abstract

In the increasingly competitive modern retail context, understanding the formation of purchase intentions has become essential. Accordingly, this study aims to explore how purchase intentions are shaped through customer relationship management (CRM), brand equity, and perceived value, while also considering the roles of perceived product quality and price perception among modern retail consumers in Sumatra. To achieve this objective, an exploratory qualitative approach was employed to capture consumers’ experiences and subjective interpretations in the purchase decision-making process. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with regular customers of modern retail outlets in Sumatra and subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and key themes. The findings indicate that purchase intentions are formed through an integrative evaluative process rather than through isolated assessments of product attributes. In this process, CRM fosters trust and emotional comfort, while brand equity reduces perceived risk by providing a sense of consistency and reliability. Furthermore, perceptions of product quality and price are interpreted contextually, shaping consumers’ judgments of fairness and functional value. These elements ultimately converge in perceived value, which acts as a central mechanism linking consumer experiences to purchase intentions. Overall, this study contributes to the marketing literature by offering a more context-sensitive understanding of purchase intention formation and provides practical insights for retailers in developing relationship-oriented and value-based strategies.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in economic development; however, many experience high failure rates due to weak financial management capabilities, particularly in budgeting and financial control. Limited understanding of systematic budgeting and the lack of practical financial training often prevent MSME actors from effectively planning and monitoring their financial resources. Strengthening budgeting competencies through structured training interventions is therefore essential to improve the financial sustainability of MSMEs. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of budget simulation training in improving budget preparation and control capabilities among MSME actors, while considering the mediating role of management accounting practices. This study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 112 MSME actors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires administered twice, namely before the training and four weeks after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using paired sample t-tests and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that budget simulation training has a positive and significant effect on budgeting skills (β = 0.347) and management accounting practices (β = 0.642). Management accounting practices also significantly influence budgeting skills (β = 0.468). Furthermore, management accounting practices partially mediate the relationship between training and budgeting skills, with a variance accounted for of 46.4%. These findings suggest that MSME capacity-building programs should integrate simulation-based budgeting training with guidance on the implementation of management accounting systems. This study contributes by integrating Experiential Learning Theory, Contingency Theory, and the Resource-Based View into a unified framework and empirically testing the mediating role of management accounting practices in MSME budgeting training in Indonesia.

Abstract

In the context of digital startups in emerging markets, achieving superior marketing performance remains a critical challenge due to rapid environmental changes, intense competition, and limitations in organizational capabilities. Prior studies have emphasized the importance of Entrepreneurial Marketing (EM) and Absorptive Capacity (AC); however, the mechanism through which these capabilities translate into performance, particularly through Strategic Alignment (SA), remains underexplored. In addition, the role of Digital Capability (DC) as a potential boundary condition in strengthening alignment outcomes is still inconclusive. This study aims to examine how EM and AC enhance Marketing Performance (MP) through SA, and whether DC moderates the relationship between SA and MP in Indonesian digital startups. Using survey data from 250 firms and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the findings reveal that EM and AC significantly strengthen SA, which in turn exerts a strong positive effect on MP. DC also demonstrates a significant direct effect on MP; however, its moderating role in the SA–MP relationship is not supported. These results suggest that while digital capability contributes directly to performance, it does not necessarily amplify the effectiveness of strategic alignment. This study highlights SA as the primary mechanism through which EM and AC translate into superior marketing performance, while positioning DC as an operational enabler rather than a strategic amplifier. Managerially, firms are encouraged to institutionalize alignment practices and leverage digital capability to support execution effectiveness. The study contributes by advancing an integrated alignment-based framework and by clarifying the boundary conditions of digital capability in emerging-market digital startups.

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology requires students to possess adequate digital literacy skills to effectively access, evaluate, and utilize information in the learning process. At the same time, the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education offers significant potential to enhance learning effectiveness, efficiency, and personalization. Therefore, it is important to examine how these two factors contribute to students’ academic achievement. This study aims to analyze the effect of AI implementation and digital literacy on students’ learning outcomes in the Learning Evaluation course. This research employs a quantitative method with a survey approach. The population of the study consists of 90 fifth-semester students from the Economic Education Study Program. A sample of 79 students was determined using the Isaac and Michael table at a 1% significance level, and selected through random sampling techniques. Data were collected using research instruments that had been tested for validity and reliability to ensure accuracy and consistency. The data were analyzed using partial regression and multiple regression techniques to examine both individual and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The results of the study reveal that: (1) the implementation of AI has a positive and significant effect on students’ learning outcomes; (2) digital literacy also has a positive and significant effect on learning outcomes; and (3) the implementation of AI and digital literacy simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on students’ learning outcomes. These findings indicate that both technological integration and students’ competencies in utilizing digital resources play crucial roles in improving academic performance. This study contributes by providing empirical evidence regarding the influence of AI implementation and digital literacy on student learning outcomes. The findings can serve as a reference for educators and institutions in designing effective learning strategies, improving the quality of higher education, and supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4), which emphasizes inclusive and quality education for all.

Abstract

The implementation of mandatory halal certification policies in Indonesia presents significant challenges for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in tourism-driven coastal areas where regulatory literacy and procedural readiness remain uneven. This study aims to examine whether an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach can enhance halal certification readiness among MSME actors operating in Pahawang Beach and Klara Beach, Lampung Province. Employing a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design combined with qualitative triangulation, data were collected from 50 MSME participants through structured surveys, focus group discussions, and field observations. The intervention focused on strengthening regulatory awareness, procedural literacy, attitudinal readiness, and behavioral commitment toward halal certification. The findings indicate substantial improvements across knowledge and compliance indicators, including increased understanding of legal obligations, certification timelines, and administrative sanctions, as well as a marked rise in certification registration interest and application behavior. The results further reveal that prior barriers were predominantly procedural rather than ideological, and that participatory mentoring effectively reduced informational asymmetry while activating community-level support networks. By integrating regulatory compliance with asset-based empowerment, this study advances halal governance scholarship and demonstrates that community-driven facilitation can function as an effective intermediary mechanism between statutory mandates and MSME institutional engagement. The implications suggest that mandatory halal certification policies should be accompanied by localized participatory capacity-building strategies to ensure inclusive compliance, particularly within emerging halal tourism ecosystems.
