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.

Abstract

This qualitative research investigates the development and implementation of a digital module designed to facilitate oral history documentation regarding the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PRRI) struggle within South Tapanuli communities. The study focuses on mentoring assistance provided to Madrasah Aliyah (MA) students at Pondok Pesantren Musthafawiyah Purba Baru, emphasizing the acquisition of interview techniques and narrative analysis competencies. This research employed a qualitative methodology encompassing semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and participant documentation analysis conducted over six months with 28 MA students and 5 faculty mentors. Through iterative coding and thematic analysis, three core emergent themes were identified: (1) scaffolded skill development in oral history methodology, (2) students' evolving understanding of historical agency and community memory preservation, and (3) institutional integration challenges within pesantren educational frameworks. The digital module demonstrated significant effectiveness in enhancing students' interview competencies, with 89.3% of participants demonstrating advanced capability in conducting biographical narrative interviews by the research conclusion. Findings revealed that mentoring relationships characterized by reciprocal feedback mechanisms and culturally responsive pedagogical approaches substantially facilitated student learning engagement. This research contributes to understanding how digital learning technologies can be meaningfully integrated within Islamic boarding school contexts to foster students' historical consciousness and community documentation skills while preserving traditional pedagogical values.

Abstract

This qualitative research examines the implementation of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) through the ancient tombs and historical sites of the Sultan Barumun era to enhance historical thinking skills among students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) Barumun. Involving 50 students, 3 history teachers, 4 community guides, and 2 school administrators, the study employed mixed qualitative methods including structured observations (8 sessions), semi-structured interviews (7 participants), focus group discussions (2 sessions with 30 students), document analysis, student learning journals (weekly reflections), and site visits over a four-month period. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with open and axial coding procedures to identify patterns in student engagement, understanding, and skill development. Results revealed significant improvements in students' historical thinking skills across six dimensions: source analysis and interpretation (7-student increase to Proficient level), historical contextualization (7-student increase), causation and chronological reasoning (16-student increase), evidence-based argumentation (Advanced category achievement), perspective recognition (38 students in Advanced category), and synthesis and conceptualization (1-student progression to Proficient level). Thematic analysis identified six primary themes: enhanced critical engagement (23 occurrences), deepened historical understanding (28 occurrences), active participation and agency (31 occurrences), emotional connection to heritage (26 occurrences), collaborative learning dynamics (29 occurrences), and implementation challenges (17 occurrences). The study demonstrates that IBL through culturally significant historical sites effectively develops students' capacity for historical thinking while fostering emotional connections to local Islamic heritage and regional identity..
