Abstract

The digital transformation of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs/UMKM) has become increasingly critical in Indonesia's post-pandemic economic recovery. This qualitative study examines the effectiveness of mentoring programs focused on Business Model Canvas (BMC) development and online marketing strategies using local platforms for UMKM acceleration. Through in-depth interviews with 15 UMKM owners, 5 mentors, and 3 platform representatives across various Indonesian cities, this research employs thematic content analysis to understand the impact of structured mentoring on digital transformation outcomes. The findings reveal that comprehensive BMC mentoring significantly enhances UMKM owners' understanding of business model components, with participants demonstrating improved capability in customer segmentation, value proposition development, and revenue stream diversification. Local platform adoption showed superior outcomes compared to international alternatives, with 35% average sales increases and enhanced operational efficiency. The study identifies key success factors including local language support, lower commission fees, and community-based learning approaches. These findings contribute to the understanding of effective community service methodologies for UMKM digital transformation and provide practical frameworks for scaling mentoring programs across Indonesia's diverse economic landscape.

Abstract

This community service program aims to improve the capacity of batik MSMEs in Malang City to face the challenges of the digital era. Through a cross-border collaborative approach, this activity focuses on financial literacy assistance based on the LAMIKRO (Micro Accounting Report) application as a simple, effective financial recording tool that is tailored to the needs of MSMEs. The strategic partnership between Indonesia and Malaysia serves as a catalyst for the exchange of knowledge, technology, and best practices in micro-enterprise management. The results of this activity indicate an increased understanding of MSMEs regarding the importance of financial recording, as well as their readiness to utilize digital technology to expand market access and increase the competitiveness of local batik products. One of the problems faced by MSMEs is a lack of knowledge regarding professional financial management, so assistance on financial literacy is needed. One focus of management is financial literacy, understanding the use of digital finance, which helps MSMEs learn to record digital financial transactions (such as cash and bank, sales, purchases, and expenses) more easily and efficiently. The implementation of financial digitalization is one effort to improve the financial performance of MSMEs that can be measured so that it has an impact on their business development and financial stability.

Abstract

This study aimed to strengthen financial management skills among OTOP (One Tambon One Product) entrepreneurs in Bangprong Subdistrict, Bangkok, Thailand, through digital tools. Many OTOP businesses face challenges in maintaining proper financial records, limiting access to external financing. A training program was implemented on August 26, 2025, combining lectures, hands-on practice, consultation, and digital tool simulations using Microsoft Excel.The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ financial literacy, with test scores rising from 48.6% to 82.4%. About 80% of participants successfully completed digital transaction simulations, and 60% continued using these tools after two weeks. Participants reported greater confidence in managing their business finances, though infrastructure and sustained usage remain challenges.The study concludes that digital-based training effectively improves financial literacy and adoption technology, but long-term success requires continuous mentoring, collaboration with stakeholders, and integration of widely used digital platforms.

Abstract

The present study investigates the effectiveness of local folklore-based tutoring activities in enhancing elementary students’ reading literacy skills in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative, quasi-experimental design, the research involved two intact classes of fifth-grade primary school students. The experimental group received literacy tutoring utilizing illustrated local folklore books, while the control group followed the conventional curriculum. Pre- and post-tests were administered to assess development in reading interest and comprehension. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant difference between the two groups, with the experimental group exhibiting a higher post-test mean (79.74) compared to the control group (68.95), and a gain score of 9.91 versus 1.72, respectively. These findings indicate that integrating local folklore into reading instruction not only increases students' motivation to read but also results in meaningful improvements in literacy outcomes. The results support the adoption of culturally relevant, narrative-based approaches in primary literacy education and underscore the broader role of local wisdom in fostering literacy engagement

Abstract

This qualitative research investigates the effectiveness of a mentoring program designed to enhance elementary school teachers' competency in utilizing digital platforms and interactive content for implementing Kurikulum Merdeka in rural Indonesian areas. The study employed a comprehensive mentoring approach focusing on the Platform Merdeka Mengajar and interactive digital content creation to address the digital divide in rural education. Twenty elementary school teachers from remote areas participated in a 12-week structured mentoring program. Data collection utilized in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal significant improvements in teachers' digital literacy, confidence in technology integration, and student engagement levels. Pre-mentoring assessment showed 65% of teachers had low digital literacy, which improved substantially post-intervention with 100% satisfaction rates among participants. Key challenges identified included limited internet connectivity, inadequate hardware, and insufficient technical training, which were addressed through innovative solutions including mobile hotspot sharing, device lending systems, and peer mentoring networks. The study demonstrates that systematic mentoring programs can effectively bridge the digital competency gap among rural teachers, enabling successful Kurikulum Merdeka implementation despite infrastructure limitations. This research contributes to understanding professional development strategies for educational transformation in underserved regions.

Abstract

The integration of digital learning modules in history education presents significant opportunities for enhancing student engagement and fostering character development through local heroic narratives. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive digital module titled "History of South Tapanuli during the Indonesian Independence Revolution" grounded in local heroic values for implementation in senior high schools across Padangsidimpuan City. Employing a qualitative research methodology, the study involved semi-structured interviews (n=24) with history teachers and educational stakeholders, focus group discussions (n=4 groups, 32 participants) with secondary school students, and document analysis of curricular materials and local historical records. Data were analyzed through thematic coding and content analysis, revealing three primary themes: integration of local heroic values in curriculum design, pedagogical effectiveness of digital modules, and barriers to implementation. Findings indicate that the digital module effectively contextualizes national independence history within local South Tapanuli narratives, particularly through the portrayal of regional heroes such as Commissioner Police Mas Kadiran and the East Sumatra Social Revolution participants. The module demonstrates significant potential in cultivating student awareness of regional contributions to national independence, enhancing critical thinking skills, and fostering nationalistic sentiment grounded in local heroic exemplars. However, implementation requires addressing infrastructure limitations, teacher digital literacy development, and curriculum alignment. This research provides empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of locally-grounded digital learning modules in enhancing history education quality while promoting character formation based on authentic regional heroic values in the Indonesian educational context.
