Abstract

Packaging plays a crucial role in enhancing the attractiveness and selling value of a product, particularly in the coffee industry, which prioritizes quality and local identity. This study aims to examine how Elmindi Farm coffee product packaging influences consumer perceptions and contributes to the marketing strategies of UMKM in Legok Harendong Village, Bandung Regency. This area is known for its Arabica and Robusta coffee commodities. The research was conducted using a descriptive-qualitative approach through direct observation and interviews with business owners and consumers. The study results indicate that visual packaging elements such as design, color, and environmentally friendly materials positively impact brand image. Furthermore, clear product information and local narratives on the packaging contribute to building consumer trust and emotional engagement. Packaging serves not only as a protective product but also as an effective communication and branding medium for expanding the market and increasing the competitiveness of local coffee in the digital era.

Abstract

This community service program was conducted to support the Ministry of Health’s specific interventions to accelerate stunting reduction, focusing on meeting the nutritional needs of mothers before and during pregnancy and of children aged 6–24 months. The program aimed to improve community knowledge and attitudes toward nutrition and stunting prevention through a knowledge–attitude–behavior (KAB)-based education model in Ngambarsari Village. Activities were integrated into Posyandu services, including anthropometric measurements, nutrition counseling, educational sessions for mothers of toddlers and adolescents, and the distribution of nutrition guidebooks to ensure sustainability. The study employed a Pre-Experimental Design with a One-Group Pretest–posttest approach without a control group. A total of 55 participants were included in the evaluation. Program effectiveness was measured by comparing pre- and post-intervention cognitive and affective scores using descriptive analysis, the Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test, and paired t-tests. The results showed significant improvements in knowledge (p = 0.008) and attitudes (p = 0.003). The mean cognitive score increased from 87% to 91%, whereas the affective score increased from 86.0% to 90.3%. Community-based nutrition education effectively enhanced understanding of exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, balanced nutrition, hygiene practices, and child growth monitoring. However, gaps remain in dietary supervision and routine growth monitoring practices, indicating the need for continuous assistance in this area. Overall, structured and collaborative community-based interventions can strengthen the local capacity for sustainable stunting prevention.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to measure the level of understanding of the apparatus of the Limba U II Urban Village Office, Gorontalo City, regarding the principles of State Administrative Law in the provision of public services, and to implement the strengthening of this legal understanding through a participatory action approach to improve the quality of public services in the urban village. The method used in this activity is participatory action, which synergistically integrates three methods: interactive legal counseling, focus group discussion (FGD), and case simulation (role play). The activity was carried out one day on February 26, 2026, and was attended by 15 urban village apparatus consisting of the Urban Village Head, Urban Village Secretary, Section Chiefs, and implementing staff. The level of understanding was measured through pre-test and post-test instruments containing four indicators: basic knowledge of State Administrative Law, general principles of good governance (algemene beginselen van behoorlijk bestuur), authority (bevoegdheid), and discretion (freies Ermessen). The results of the activity showed that the level of understanding of the apparatus before the activity was still relatively low, with an average pre-test score of 48.7 out of a scale of 100. After the implementation of the participatory action approach, the average post-test score increased significantly to 78.4, or an increase of 29.7 points (60.98%). The conclusion of this activity indicates that the participatory action approach proved effective in measurably increasing the understanding of the apparatus regarding the principles of State Administrative Law and encouraging the realization of transparent, accountable, and rule-of-law-based public services at the Limba U II Urban Village Office, Gorontalo City.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the basic accounting literacy of tenth-grade students at SMKN 3 Padang. The Practice-Based Training (PBT) method, a pedagogical approach that emphasises experiential and iterative learning, was used to achieve objectives of the study. Conducted over two structured sessions, the training integrated concept briefing, guided practice, independent exercises, and performance review of simple transaction recording. Quantitative results from pre- and post-tests involving 35 students revealed substantial improvements across all measured dimensions. Qualitative observations further indicated increased student engagement, improved communication with facilitators, and greater persistence during practice tasks. These findings demonstrate that PBT effectively bridges the gap between theoretical instruction and practical application in vocational accounting education. While the study was limited by its short intervention period and single-site implementation, it provides meaningful contributions to the development of practice-centered instructional models that support workforce readiness.

Abstract

The Integrated Learning Model (Blegur Model) is a new model that can be applied to improve students' 21st-century competencies because it organizes student learning experiences around objectives, analytical thinking, integrity, and transformation. However, students' understanding and skills in implementing this learning model are still limited because it is relatively new, so systematic intervention is needed. This community service program is designed to improve students' understanding and skills in applying the Blegur Model. This innovative alternative combines aspects of analysis, evaluation, and the implementation of learning. The activity involved 15 students, but only 13 students (86.67%) completed the pre-test and post-test. The materials provided included theoretical foundations, the significance of the Blegur Model for 21st-century competencies, comparisons with other learning models, and syntax and implementation strategies. The training was carried out through three main methods: lectures and discussions, model application exercises, and presentations and reflections. Evaluation was carried out using four open-ended questions with an assessment rubric, which participants collected through presentation videos in the pre-test and post-test. Data analysis using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a significant increase in participants' understanding and skills (Z = -3.395; p = 0.001; r = 0.94). These training results confirm the effectiveness of the Blegur Model as an innovative learning strategy that can strengthen students' competencies and support the development of learning practices aligned with the demands of the 21st century.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to strengthen women's entrepreneurial capacity by developing banana chip production as a local economic product in Kalongan Village, Semarang Regency. It sought to empower women by improving practical skills in processing local agricultural resources into value-added products supporting household income and community-based entrepreneurship. The program used Participatory Action Research (PAR), involving 30 women selected through purposive sampling from the SEPATAH KATA community. Implementation proceeded through four stages: socialization of program objectives, training in banana chip production techniques, intensive mentoring during production, and evaluation of learning outcomes. A Likert-scale questionnaire assessed production accuracy, cooperation during production, and participants' independence and consistency. Data were analyzed descriptively using percentage analysis. Results showed positive impacts on participants' entrepreneurial skills and behavior: increased independence and consistency in production (45%), improved cooperation during production (30%), and better understanding of production procedures and step accuracy (25%). Participants also grasped the production stages and actively engaged in collaborative learning. These findings indicate that participatory training combined with continuous mentoring effectively enhanced participants' practical skills in transforming local resources into marketable products. The program successfully strengthened women's entrepreneurial capacity and supported the development of banana chip production as a sustainable local enterprise. Future follow-up efforts are recommended to focus on digital marketing assistance, product legality certification, improved packaging design, and sustainability monitoring of women's business groups.
