Abstract

This community service (PKM) program addresses the need to strengthen digital literacy and pedagogically grounded artificial intelligence (AI) integration among primary school teachers. The program implemented a practice-based training model combined with a co-design pedagogy approach, enabling teachers to actively engage as learning designers rather than passive technology users. The activity was conducted at SDN Oetona, Kupang, involving twelve primary school teachers. Evaluations were carried out through pre- and post-tests, observation of instructional practices, and guided reflective responses. The findings indicate a notable improvement in teachers’ conceptual understanding, operational readiness, and confidence in integrating AI into lesson planning and classroom activities, with 80% of participants demonstrating the ability to apply basic AI tools for instructional support. Despite positive outcomes, the program faced limitations related to training duration, participant scale, and device availability. As a follow-up strategy, a school-based learning community was established to support sustained collaboration, mentoring, and the gradual development of AI-supported pedagogical practices in primary education.

Abstract

Children of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia face dual challenges of limited access to formal education and low numeracy literacy, often compounded by severe math anxiety. This community service program aimed to enhance numeracy literacy and mathematical resilience through an integrative Joymath–Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention in a non-formal education setting. The implementation adopted a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving 25 students at Sanggar Belajar At-Tanzil, Selangor. The intervention was conducted in three stages: psychological conditioning to reduce baseline anxiety, concept exploration through joyful mathematics games, and cognitive restructuring to address negative self-talk. Program outcomes were assessed using participatory observation, indicators of student engagement, and analysis of students’ worksheets (LKPD). The findings showed promising effectiveness, marked by increased active participation, a shift in students’ self-narratives from helplessness to curiosity, and improved understanding of basic mathematical concepts. Beyond student outcomes, the program strengthened the partner learning center’s capacity by introducing a practical, context-sensitive instructional model that can be sustained in non-formal settings serving vulnerable learners.

Abstract

Limited media exposure remains a key challenge for humanitarian organizations in strengthening accountability and public trust. This community service program aimed to enhance the communication and publicity capacity of the Indonesian Red Crescent (BSMI) Maros Regency using artificial intelligence (AI) in digital media management. The novelty of this program lies in integrating AI as a strategic communication tool for humanitarian organizations, rather than merely providing general digital training, by supporting content planning, search engine optimization, and context-based publication management. The program was implemented through training and mentoring activities that combined lectures, discussions, hands-on practice, and the use of a workbook as a reflective learning instrument. The results indicate an improvement in volunteers’ understanding and skills in managing digital media more strategically, as reflected in learning evaluation outcomes and the continuity of post-training practices, including the formation of digital volunteer teams and active involvement in humanitarian content publication. Practically, this program contributes to the development of a contextual volunteer empowerment model based on digital literacy and artificial intelligence. This model has the potential to be replicated by other humanitarian organizations to strengthen accountability, enhance public trust, and support the sustainability of humanitarian initiatives in the digital communication era.

Abstract

Older adults in Desa Patianrowo face interrelated health and economic challenges, characterized by a high prevalence of degenerative diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, along with limited economic independence. Although participation in the Bina Keluarga Lansia (BKL) program is relatively high, existing empowerment initiatives have not yet optimally integrated health improvement and economic strengthening based on local potential. This study reports the implementation of the TELADAN Lansia Program, a community-based service initiative designed to integrate health education and economic empowerment through the utilization of butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea). The program involved 20 older adults and was implemented using a participatory approach in collaboration with BKL cadres and village stakeholders. Key activities included education on degenerative disease management, training on butterfly pea cultivation and processing, community-based enterprise development, and basic marketing and product branding. Program outcomes were assessed using structured pre–post evaluations to capture changes in participants’ knowledge, skills, and productive capacities. The implementation of the program resulted in improved health literacy, enhanced technical skills in cultivation and processing, and increased capacity to market locally based products. In addition, the program led to the establishment of older adult business groups, productive cultivation plots, value-added products, and digital marketing channels. Importantly, the TELADAN Lansia Program establishes a sustainable empowerment model integrated with local BKL cadres, supporting long-term continuity and offering potential for replication in communities with similar characteristics.
