Abstract

This community service training aimed to strengthen senior high school English teachers' competencies in South Kalimantan by integrating local Sasirangan culture, augmented reality (AR) technology, and critical thinking skills into innovative instruction. Teachers had been facing several persistent challenges: reliance on conventional teaching methods, students' low English literacy, underdeveloped critical thinking skills, minimal use of local culture as a learning resource, and limited adoption of educational technologies like AR. To address these issues, the team designed and delivered a training program centered on integrating Sasirangan, AR, and critical thinking into grade XII English instruction. The program engaged 15 participants: 6 core workshop attendees, 7 community service team members, and 2 teaching assistants. Implementation followed seven stages, namely situational analysis, problem identification, goal setting, solution planning, social approach, activity implementation, and evaluation. During implementation, the team administered a pre-test, presented instructional content, led discussions and Q&A sessions, guided participants in designing learning activities, demonstrated the SasiVision AR application, and conducted a post-test to measure outcomes. Results demonstrated clear gains across three key indicators. Teachers showed a 50% increase in understanding and readiness to use Sasirangan as a contextual learning resource, a 40.7% increase in applying Android-based AR technology in English lessons, and a 14.1% increase in their ability to design activities that foster students' critical thinking. These findings indicate that the training successfully equipped teachers to integrate Sasirangan fabric as a meaningful, contextual resource in English language teaching, supported by the SasiVision AR application, offering a promising model for culturally grounded, technology-enhanced language instruction.

Abstract

The transition toward renewable energy requires not only technological advancement but also human capacity to disseminate renewable energy knowledge in educational and community settings. This community service program aimed to prepare prospective trainers to facilitate renewable energy learning at the Community Learning Centre (PKBM) Banyutowo in Klaten Regency, Indonesia, while supporting SDG 7 on affordable and clean energy and SDG 4 on quality education. The program adopted a training-of-trainers community service approach and was implemented from January to April 2026. Its activities included preparation and partner-needs alignment, a workshop titled “Green Energy and Green Building for Sustainable STEM Education” held at Universitas Sebelas Maret on 9 February 2026, a partner-site visit to PKBM Banyutowo, and a follow-up teaching activity on 15 April 2026. A total of 54 students from engineering education programs participated as prospective trainers. The workshop consisted of solar photovoltaic (PV) concept presentation, solar PV trainer kit demonstration, PV system design and wiring practice, Problem-Based Learning (PBL) module development, and evaluation. Feedback data were obtained from 19 valid participant responses using a 13-item Likert-scale questionnaire, representing a 35.2% response rate. The responses were used descriptively to identify trends in participants’ perceptions of the workshop. The results indicate active participant engagement, positive response trends regarding organization and instructional delivery, and the development of preliminary PBL module concepts. Seven workshop alumni later facilitated solar PV learning for PKBM learners using the same trainer kit. These findings suggest that integrating technical training, hands-on experimentation, and PBL-oriented pedagogy provides a relevant foundation for strengthening renewable energy literacy and prospective trainer capacity in community-based education.

Abstract

The effectiveness of community-based ambulance services depends not only on ambulance availability but also on volunteers' capacity to recognize emergencies and ensure safe patient transport. This study examined the effect of emergency medical training on the knowledge and practical skills of community ambulance volunteers. A pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design was employed involving 25 volunteers. The intervention comprised interactive lectures, demonstrations, simulation-based training, and hands-on practice addressing initial patient assessment, basic life support, first aid, and patient transfer techniques. Knowledge was measured before and after training using a validated questionnaire, while practical skills were assessed through direct observation using a standardized checklist derived from current resuscitation guidelines. Data were analyzed with a paired t-test. All participants were male, with a mean age of 43 years; most had completed senior high school, while the remainder held a bachelor's degree. Half had previously received emergency care training. Mean knowledge scores increased from 84.29 to 90.71 following the intervention, reflecting a 6.42-point (7.6%) improvement, though this change did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.082). Observational assessment indicated that most participants correctly performed the sequence of first aid interventions and patient transfer procedures. However, deficiencies persisted in specific psychomotor skills, including carotid pulse assessment, chest compression quality, and effective stretcher use, highlighting the need for continued practical training. Overall, emergency medical training demonstrated a favorable trend toward enhancing volunteers' knowledge and practical competencies in basic emergency care and safe patient transport. These findings suggest that simulation-enhanced training combined with interactive instruction can strengthen the capacity of community ambulance volunteers in prehospital emergency response. Regular refresher training and ongoing competency evaluation are recommended to sustain long-term knowledge retention and skill proficiency.

Abstract

Scientific literacy is essential for students to develop their scientific abilities. Indonesian students' performance in this area is still very low, as shown by the 2018 PISA results. To address this issue, schools need to provide support to students. Through this community service program, a solution is offered by conducting GILaS through simple experiments for St. Paulus Karuni Middle School students. The main objective of this community service program is to strengthen students' scientific literacy through simple experiments. Through the experimental method, students are actively involved so they can understand the steps and results of the experiment, thereby strengthening their scientific literacy. The participants were 42 students, 16 male and 26 female. The evaluation instrument used was a student response sheet on the implementation of the activity. The instrument contained four main indicators: 1) interest and motivation to learn, 2) understanding of the material, 3) implementation and mentoring, and 4) general benefit. The results of the activity showed that students responded positively to the GILaS activity, with response rates of 65.28 percent strongly agree, 31.15 percent agree, 1.79 percent disagree, and 0.79 percent strongly disagree. GILaS activities are essential, especially for schools with limited laboratories and those that have never conducted practical work at school. This activity is an important part of a collaborative effort to strengthen students' scientific literacy.
