Abstract

This problem arises from the lack of specific training integrating language and communication aspects in the context of entrepreneurship. The lack of explicit instruction on appropriate, logical, and persuasive language use results in students lacking confidence in conveying their creative ideas. This method was chosen because it aligns with the objectives of community service activities, which are direct and participatory interventions, and allows for continuous reflection and improvement based on the results of the activities. Grammar training is effective as a medium for improving students' communication competencies in entrepreneurial projects, while simultaneously supporting the development of creative, communicative, and self-confident character traits at the elementary and secondary levels in Cilawu District. Teachers are encouraged to act as facilitators, assisting students in honing their communication skills, rather than simply as language instructors. Therefore, Grammar is effective as a medium for improving students' communication competencies in entrepreneurial projects, while simultaneously supporting the development of creative, communicative, and self-confident character traits at the elementary and secondary levels in Cilawu District.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and implement hypercontent-based learning materials in thematic learning as a response to the challenges of education in the digital era and the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Hypercontent, which integrates various forms of media such as text, images, audio, video, and external links, is designed to provide a more interactive, engaging, and contextual learning experience for students. Using a descriptive approach with the 4-D development model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate), the research emphasizes systematic stages to ensure the quality and validity of the developed materials. The results demonstrate that hypercontent not only enriches thematic learning but also enhances students’ motivation, creativity, and critical thinking. Teachers reported that the use of hypercontent facilitated the delivery of lessons, made content more flexible, and supported independent as well as collaborative learning. However, several challenges remain, including digital literacy gaps among teachers, limited infrastructure, and unequal access to devices and internet connectivity for students. Despite these constraints, the findings underline that hypercontent-based materials can serve as an innovative learning strategy, aligning with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum and preparing students for global competitiveness. Continuous teacher training, institutional support, and collaboration in content development are crucial for sustaining this innovation.

Abstract

This community service activity was conducted to analyze trends, issues, opportunities, and challenges in the utilization of educational technology to support the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at SMA Negeri 8 Tasikmalaya. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through training, group discussions, and interviews with teachers to gain insights into their readiness and practices in applying digital learning tools. The results revealed that teachers demonstrated strong enthusiasm and awareness of the importance of technology for enhancing project-based learning, collaboration, and independent learning in line with the philosophy of the Merdeka Curriculum. Teachers began integrating various platforms such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), Google Classroom, Canva, and Quizizz, and they also recognized the potential of advanced tools such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in increasing student engagement. Nevertheless, several issues arose, including limited digital literacy among teachers, unequal access to devices among students, and inadequate internet infrastructure. These challenges often hinder the optimal use of technology in classrooms. On the other hand, opportunities were identified in the form of teacher capacity building, interactive learning design, and increased student motivation through technology-based media. The findings of this program highlight that the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum requires continuous mentoring, collaborative practices among teachers, and strong institutional support in providing adequate facilities and digital infrastructure.

Abstract

This community service program was carried out to strengthen the capacity of teachers in the Cisurupan District Education Office in developing digital literacy skills during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically through the design and use of computer- and mobile-based multimedia learning. The COVID-19 crisis accelerated the shift from conventional classroom practices to online learning, requiring teachers to master digital tools as an essential competence. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, combining workshops, interactive discussions, and hands-on practice, enabling teachers to gain direct experience in designing multimedia learning resources. The training materials included the use of applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint with interactive features, Canva for visual design, screen-recording software, and simple Android-based platforms for mobile learning. The results revealed a significant increase in teachers’ ability to integrate digital media into learning, not only from a technical perspective but also in terms of creativity and pedagogical innovation. Teachers were able to produce interactive learning content that improved student engagement, motivation, and independence in learning. However, challenges such as limited digital infrastructure, unstable internet connectivity, and the digital divide between teachers and students remained major issues. Despite these obstacles, the training successfully fostered confidence and readiness among teachers to adopt digital literacy as part of their professional development. The outcomes of this program emphasize that continuous mentoring, sustainable digital training, institutional support, and collaborative learning communities are crucial for ensuring the long-term success of digital literacy integration in education.
