Abstract

This study explores a community-based model to mitigate the crisis of basic literacy and numeracy in underdeveloped rural villages through the collaborative facilitation by parents and teachers using local educational games. Employing a qualitative research methodology, the study analyzes the effectiveness of integrating traditional games in literacy and numeracy development in disadvantaged village settings in Indonesia. Data were collected through interviews, focus groups, and observations involving educators, parents, and village children. Findings indicate that the model fosters increased engagement, comprehension, and supportive learning environments at home and schools. The participatory approach enhances awareness, motivation, and the application of basic numeracy and literacy skills, suggesting a culturally contextualized sustainable strategy for rural education improvement.

Abstract

Violence, neglect, and exploitation of children remain serious problems in Indonesia that require systematic prevention efforts based on law and community participation. This study aims to increase public understanding of the prevention of violence against children based on Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection through a comprehensive community service program. The method used is a participatory and educational approach with a mixed qualitative-quantitative design, involving 255 participants consisting of 100 heads of families, 50 educators, 30 community leaders, and 75 children aged 10-17 years. Activities were carried out for 6 months at the village level through participatory workshops, intensive training, legal socialization, and the establishment of a community-based child protection forum. Data collection was carried out through pre-post test surveys, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation. The results showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge by 34% exceeding the minimum target of 25%, a positive attitude change in 89% of participants to report cases of child violence, and a participation rate of 92%. The establishment of a child protection forum with 35 members from various community elements and a strategic partnership network with relevant agencies demonstrates the program's success in building a sustainable protection system. Implementation faced challenges such as cultural resistance, limited infrastructure, and the community's socioeconomic conditions. The program successfully created a community-based child protection model that can be replicated in other regions with adaptations to local contexts to achieve a child-friendly Indonesia.

Abstract

Anemia is a common health problem in the community, especially among adolescents and women of childbearing age. One clinical manifestation of anemia or other conditions frequently found in schools and the community is fainting. Lack of knowledge about anemia and the public's lack of knowledge regarding first aid for fainting can result in delayed treatment and an increased risk of complications. This community service activity aims to increase participants' knowledge about anemia prevention and basic skills in providing first aid to fainting patients. The method used was interactive counseling supplemented by demonstrations and simulations, as well as evaluation through pre- and post-tests. The activity was held at Pancar Bakti Junior and Senior High Schools, Gunung Pancar, Bogor, and was attended by 100 participants. The results showed an increase in the average understanding score of participants from 58 (pre-test) to 85 (post-test), with active participation in the discussion and simulation sessions. In conclusion, this outreach activity was effective in increasing participants' basic knowledge and skills regarding anemia and first aid for fainting, and can be used as a promotional and preventive effort in the community.

Abstract

The natural resource processing industry in Bonggo District, Sarmi Regency, has begun to show results, particularly in the form of food products. A locally sourced industrial product that has not yet been tapped by industry players in Bonggo is the aromatherapy candles, made from essential oil extracts from Bonggo plants. Aromatherapy candles are generally used for aromatherapy, with their refreshing scent, and some even repel mosquitoes, depending on the essential oils mixed into the candles. Making an aromatherapy candle is simple, time-consuming, and requires inexpensive raw materials, with a high selling value compared to the raw materials. The training was conducted in collaboration with SMA Negeri 2 Sarmi, located in Tamar Sari Village, East Bonggo District, Sarmi Regency, Papua Province. The training aimed to train students, particularly 12th-grade students who were about to complete their high school studies. The knowledge gained from the training is expected to be developed into a business opportunity for those unable to pursue higher education. The training was conducted by providing material, and then continued with a trial of making aromatherapy candles carried out by the training participants. Evaluation was carried out by organoleptic testing of the level of preference for the resulting product in terms of aroma, smell, texture, and color, appearance using a Likert scale with a scale of 5, namely (1) Dislike, (2) Less like (3), Somewhat like, (4) Like, and Very like (5). The aromatherapy used was eucalyptus, citronella oil, tyme oil, coffee, and mosquito repellent aroma (soffel). The results achieved, most students were able to mix ingredients and make aromatherapy candles well and correctly. The organoleptic results stated that, in general, respondents showed their preference for the five aromatherapies in terms of aroma, texture, color, and smell.

Abstract

This community service programme employed a participatory, experiential learning approach to equip secondary school students at Sangkhom Islam Wittaya School, Hat Yai, Thailand, with basic digital marketing skills through the creation of digital portfolios. Thirty students, supported by three teachers, took part in interactive lectures, demonstrations, guided practice, project-based learning, and feedback sessions. Quantitative results from paired sample t-tests showed a significant improvement in knowledge and skills, with mean scores increasing from 55.40 (SD = 8.25) in the pre-test to 78.30 (SD = 7.10) in the post-test (t(29) = 11.25, p < 0.05). Qualitative findings reinforced these outcomes: students demonstrated active participation and creativity, reported greater confidence in applying digital concepts, and produced coherent portfolios; teachers also confirmed improvements in digital competencies aligned with the school’s literacy objectives. Overall, the programme proved effective in delivering practical and relevant learning experiences that significantly enhanced students’ digital literacy and entrepreneurial potential in line with the demands of the digital era.

Abstract

The community service program, "Health education and physical examinations, blood pressure, blood sugar, and free medical treatment at the Pratama Hibas Clinic in Simalungun Regency," was successfully implemented. Health is a human right and an investment for the success of national development. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a leading cause of heart failure, stroke, and kidney failure. High blood pressure is called the "silent killer" because people with it often don't show symptoms. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute estimates that half of people with high blood pressure are unaware of their condition. Once diagnosed, patients' blood pressure should be monitored at regular intervals, as high blood pressure is a lifelong condition. Therefore, comprehensive health development is necessary to create a healthy society. The community has received positive feedback, and they hope similar activities will be held regularly. This kind of health education should be ongoing for both the community and their families, as increasing age or apathy among the community can endanger their health. Furthermore, children and siblings in the community also share the responsibility to maintain the health of their fathers, mothers, and siblings with adequate knowledge
