Abstract

This study aims to improve agropreneurship-based entrepreneurial literacy for Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) women in Bulujaya Village, Jeneponto Regency through training in processing corn into value-added products. The background of the study is based on the low entrepreneurial literacy of rural women, especially in aspects of business management, marketing, and the use of digital technology. This study used the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The research subjects were PKK women who were active in organizational activities, had an interest in entrepreneurship, and were willing to participate in the training program. Data were collected through observation, in- depth interviews, FGDs, and documentation. The results showed a significant increase in the participants' entrepreneurial literacy after the training, as evidenced by a comparison of pre- test and post-test results. Participants were able to understand the concept of entrepreneurship more professionally, including in managerial, financial, and marketing aspects. In terms of technical skills, participants successfully processed corn into popcorn with various flavors and attractive packaging, thereby increasing the added value of local products. In addition, there was an increase in digital literacy, where PKK women began to utilize social media as a means of product promotion. This training also has social and economic impacts, including increased self-confidence, group solidarity, and the emergence of additional family income, even on a small scale. Thus, agropreneur-based entrepreneurial literacy training has proven effective in empowering women, strengthening family economic resilience, and encouraging the development of local potential in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

Karang Pucung Village, located in the lowlands of Purbalingga Regency, has great potential for fruit and vegetable farming. Agricultural innovation has been developed by millennial farmers, especially in melon cultivation. Since 2015, farmers organized under the ARTANSI CANDRA KAHURIPAN Tourism Awareness Group (POKDARWIS) have cultivated melons using hydroponic methods. This initiative responds to the increasing national demand for fruits and vegetables and growing health awareness. However, the main problems faced by partners include a lack of knowledge in agricultural product processing, packaging, and marketing. These limitations hinder the optimal utilization of melon harvests. Additionally, partners struggle with online marketing and bookkeeping. Proper accounting is essential for running a sustainable business, yet partners have not implemented systematic and detailed financial recording either manually or digitally. To address these issues, participatory training and mentoring methods are proposed. This approach involves partners directly in each step of the process, including problem identification, analysis of possible actions, action planning, and implementation. This “bottom-up” method ensures that the actions taken are appropriate, targeted, and practical for addressing real problems faced by the community. The result of this community service activity is the ability of local farmers to process melons into melon chips, a product with market potential at both the local and national levels. Through this approach, the community not only enhances its economic value but also strengthens its business practices in packaging, marketing, and financial management, promoting sustainability and independence in the agricultural sector.

Abstract

The main goal of this community service program targets the enhancement of English language abilities among Pinrang Regency's elementary school teaching staff through training methods based on communication. Intensive one-week training under this program implements practice-focused training methods through storytelling sessions, role-play activities and digital media applications. The program conducts a competence evaluation for teachers before implementing training programs meant to enhance their speech proficiency and interactive English teaching techniques. The training data reveals higher English usage motivation and consciousness among teachers yet multiple learning execution obstacles persist. Three key challenges emerge from teachers' restricted language skills and insufficient social contact with the English language and their lack of practical experience with classroom interactive teaching methods. The utilization obstacles of technology along with lack of support within the professional community work as important factors which diminish the effectiveness of this training approach. A lasting solution is necessary to enhance the English teaching capabilities of elementary teachers according to the findings of this program. Follow-up sessions and mentoring along with developing a professional community need to support the delivery of effective teaching methods which start from short-term training. Bilingual pedagogy strategies enable teachers to implement English gradually during their lessons. Participation from different organizations would enable improved English teaching quality at elementary schools to operate at its best potential.
