Abstract

The training on using the Mendeley application for Public Administration students at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Pattimura, aims to enhance skills in managing references and citations systematically. The main issue faced by students is the difficulty in organizing references structurally and the risk of citation errors that can affect academic quality. This activity includes preparation, material delivery, and hands-on practice using the Mendeley application. The training is based on the Theory of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which explains how technology adoption can influence its effectiveness. The results show that students can manage references more systematically and gain confidence in writing academic papers, including final assignments. Moreover, the training positively contributes to improving the overall academic quality on campus. Beyond teaching the technical aspects of using the application, this training also raises students' awareness of the importance of academic ethics in reference management. Thus, this training serves as a strategic step to prepare students for academic challenges while promoting a stronger culture of scientific writing.

Abstract

The low literacy ability of Indonesian children is the responsibility of all parties. In simple terms, Literacy can be interpreted as skills in writing and reading. Low reading ability is influenced by access to difficult books and very limited ownership of reading books. The condition of low reading literacy of Indonesian children was then summarized in an Anthology book entitled "Jejak Juang Laskar Literasi" by alumni education volunteers of the Indonesian Literacy School Program and Gemari Baca Dompet Dhuafa. ALUSIA collaborated with academics from Teuku Umar University and literacy activists to review the book.  The method is carried out in the form of a talk show with a narrative model directly through Instagram social media. The recorded audience until December 2024 is 316 spectators. The theme raised was "Literacy at the fingertips, reading campaign for all".  The audience's response during the narration activity was good, which was measured by the enthusiasm of the audience asking questions and commenting in the comment column during the event, and also the number of spectators that continued to increase every day. This narrative activity is a form of community service as an effort to invite readers from all walks of life so that the literacy of Indonesian children increases.

Abstract

The reluctance of the community to dispose of waste at the Final Disposal Site (TPA) becomes an obstacle to effective urban waste management. The accumulation of waste over time can lead to water pollution problems. One waste management method is composting. Compost is a biodegradable substance that can retain moisture while decomposing in the air and under sunlight. The basic principle of composting technology is based on the natural decomposition process of organic materials. To address this issue, Liquid Organic Fertilizer (POC) can be used. POC is a liquid fertilizer made from various organic materials, such as plants and food scraps. Waste and residues in the body will decompose anaerobically (without oxygen) without the help of sunlight. This activity was carried out at the Pohroh City Hall, Meureudu Subdistrict, Pidie Jaya Regency, on June 8, 2023. The program aims to educate the surrounding community that household waste, such as vegetable waste and rice washing water, can be utilized as liquid fertilizer, which plays an important role in tree planting. This community service was conducted at the Pohroh Village Hall, Meureudu Subdistrict, Pidie Jaya Regency. The production of liquid organic fertilizer (POC) from household waste begins with making a sample using simple tools and materials, such as a bucket, sieve, 1.5-liter mineral water bottle, sugar, rice washing water, vegetable/fruit waste water, and EM4. The success of POC production can be seen from the presence of white spots on the surface, a yellow-brown color, and a scent resembling fermented rice, but without a foul odor. Through education on household waste management, it is hoped that it will increase the community's knowledge, understanding, and innovation in managing household waste.

Abstract

The spread of hoax information in Indonesia has recently increased, causing concern, especially with the ease of accessing information through various media, with social media being the primary platform for its dissemination. The active users of social media are mostly teenagers, particularly students, who are accustomed to commenting, sharing, and providing critiques on these platforms. Often, the information shared is not verified for its source, and as long as it goes viral, it is quickly spread to others. This habit can lead to the spread of unverified hoaxes, which can have negative impacts such as psychological attacks, bullying, and legal consequences for hoax spreaders under the ITE Law. Based on this issue, we conducted a community service activity using socialization and discussions about the dangers of hoax dissemination and how to anticipate them among students. The event held at SMA 2 Meulaboh went well and solemnly. The results of this activity showed that many students are still unaware of the dangers of spreading hoax information. Therefore, this initiative provided a deeper understanding, with the hope that students will become more cautious and able to filter the information circulating, especially from unknown sources.

Abstract

Teaching the Quran, especially in the field of tajweed, requires more competence than just mastery of teaching materials, educators' communication skills also determine the effectiveness of learning. This article discusses Dr. Ayman's tajweed method training applied to 26 educators teaching religious subjects, with a participatory approach and integration of interpersonal communication. The training aims to improve technical skills in reading the Quran and equip educators with the skills to deliver material empathetically, clearly, and interactively. Training methods included strengthening tajweed theory, hands-on practice, teaching simulations, and developing communication skills. The results of the training show that an approach that combines mastery of the material with interpersonal skills can create a collaborative learning atmosphere, increase motivation, and improve the effectiveness of teaching tajweed in the classroom. Periodic post-training evaluations also ensure the continuity of improving educators' competence in teaching the Quran according to the correct rules and touching the spiritual aspects of students.

Abstract

This community service activity was held on Sunday, November 26, 2023, at SOS Children’s Village Meulaboh by the Faculty Team of the Law Department, Universitas Teuku Umar. The purpose was to provide adolescents with an understanding of the importance of moral education in the digital era. The material covered basic moral concepts, the positive and negative impacts of technology on adolescent behavior, and the urgency of digital ethics in daily life. The results showed that most participants had not fully understood the impact of technology on morality, especially regarding cyberbullying, addiction, and the decline of direct social interaction. In fact, moral behavior is essential not only in digital spaces but also as a foundation for healthy relationships in society. On the other hand, technology also provides positive opportunities for accessing information, self-expression, and expanding social connections. Therefore, contextual moral education is key to shaping digitally literate, ethical, and socially responsible youth. This activity is expected to be a starting point for raising awareness and encouraging adolescents to apply moral values in their daily lives, both online and offline. Thus, the younger generation can grow into individuals who are morally grounded and digitally competent.

Abstract

Observation results in Blang Beurandang Village, Johan Pahlawan, West Aceh, in 2025 revealed several cases of malnutrition in toddlers, specifically three toddlers experiencing stunting, two toddlers experiencing wasting, and two toddlers being underweight. As a result, it not only inhibits the physical and cognitive growth of children but can even cause death. One effort to overcome this is to provide nutrition education. This community service activity was carried out in Blang Beurandang Village, Johan Pahlawan, involving mothers of toddlers and village cadres. The method used is Community Rural Participatory, including the assessment stages (recapitulation of initial anthropometric measurement data and secondary data), planning stages (educational media, PMT), and implementation stages (measuring the level of knowledge of the target group using pretest-posttest before and after being given counseling). The results of the activity showed the highest prevalence, namely underweight at 18.42%, followed by stunting at 15.79%, wasting at 7.89%, and the lowest, namely obesity and overnutrition at 2.63%. Then, in measuring the level of knowledge among mothers about stunting, wasting, underweight, and the role of PMT, with a total of 14 mothers of toddlers as respondents, an increase in knowledge was observed after nutrition counselling, specifically from 7.1% of respondents with good knowledge, increasing to 57.1%. PMT products, in the form of chicken-filled tempeh balls, were well received by the target group during the activity. However, ongoing mentoring, monitoring, and education efforts are necessary to ensure that knowledge about nutrition and PMT processing is effectively applied in everyday life, particularly in the practice of providing food to children and managing family food.

Abstract

This community service program aims to improve students’ writing literacy and verbal communication skills through short story writing mentorship at SMPN 3 Meurebo. The initiative was motivated by the low level of interest and creative writing ability among students, which limits their capacity to express ideas and imagination in written form. Activities were conducted face-to-face using a participatory approach and the fun learning method to create enjoyable, collaborative, and reflective learning experiences. The program was implemented in three stages: preparation, mentoring, and evaluation. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure participants’ progress. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ writing competence, with the average score increasing from 41% to 83%. The most notable improvement occurred in the understanding of intrinsic and extrinsic story elements, demonstrating the effectiveness of the mentoring model in strengthening conceptual comprehension and practical writing skills. The program also had a positive impact on students’ motivation, self-confidence, and creativity in writing. Overall, this activity successfully fostered literacy enthusiasm and supported the development of a creative learning ecosystem. The outcomes are expected to serve as a replicable model for writing literacy programs in other schools, particularly in regions with similar challenges in promoting a literacy culture.
