Abstract

Pengembangan profesional guru bahasa Inggris menjadi hal yang penting. Mereka dituntut untuk mampu beradaptasi dengan berbagai perubahan dalam paradigma pembelajaran dan kemudian menyesuaikan hal tersebut dengan bagaimana skenario pembelajaran harus dikembangkan. Tetapi hal ini menjadi menantang karena berbagai hal misalnya kesempatan mereka untuk mengembangkan diri yang terbatas bahkan mungkin nyaris tidak ada, tidak adanya komunitas belajar yang memadai, sulitnya mengatur pembagian waktu antara menjalankan tugas sebagai guru bahasa Inggris dan waktu untuk mengembangkan diri, serta keterbatasan akses. Kegiatan pengabdian ini ditujukan untuk mengenalkan penggunaan platform Padlet sebagai media yang dapat digunakan untuk diskusi kolaboratif antarguru bahasa Inggris sebagai upaya pengembangan professional mereka. Kegiatan ini dilakukan dalam bentuk pemaparan materi dan praktik dengan melibatkan komunitas guru bahasa Inggris di Kabupatan Sumedang. Kegiatan pengabdian ini diinisiasi untuk dilakukan berdasarkan hasil analisis kebutuhan yang terlebih dahulu dilakukan. Angket untuk mengumpulkan data digunakan untuk mengetahui respons peserta terkait dengan diskusi kolaboratif dengan berbantuan Padlet. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas guru bahasa Inggris antusias dan tertarik untuk terlibat aktif dalam diskusi kolaboratif menggunakan Padlet yang ditujukan untuk peningkatan profesional mereka. Meskipun sebagian besar dari mereka telah memiliki pengalaman mengajar lebih dari lima tahun, tetapi mereka meyakini bahwa diskusi kolaboratif dengan berbantuan Padlet akan memberikan pengalaman belajar dan berkolaborasi yang menyenangkan. Kegiatan pengabdian ini menjadi rujukan bagi team peneliti untuk selanjutnya mengembangkan model diskusi kolaboratif berbantuan Padlet yang merefleksikan nilai-nilai inklusivitas di dalamnya. The professional development of English teachers is important. They are required to adapt to various changes in the learning paradigm and adjust the learning scenario accordingly. However, this is challenging due to various factors, such as limited or even non-existent opportunities for self-development, the absence of adequate learning communities, the difficulty of balancing time between performing duties as an English teacher and time for self-development, and limited access. This community service activity aimed to introduce the Padlet platform as a medium for collaborative discussions among English teachers as part of their professional development. This activity was carried out in the form of a material presentation and practice involving the English teacher community in Sumedang Regency. This community service activity was initiated based on the results of a prior needs analysis. A questionnaire was used to collect data on participants' responses to collaborative discussions using Padlet. The results of the data analysis showed that the majority of English teachers were enthusiastic and interested in actively participating in collaborative discussions using Padlet for their professional development. Although most of them had more than 5 years of teaching experience, they believed that collaborative discussions using Padlet would provide an enjoyable learning experience. This community service activity served as a reference for the research team to develop a model of collaborative discussion, further using Padlet that reflects the values of inclusivity.

Abstract

Transformasi sosial-digital menuntut penguatan peran keluarga dalam pendidikan karakter remaja, khususnya pada jenjang madrasah tsanawiyah. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan mengembangkan dan mengimplementasikan model T.A.D.A.R.U.S. sebagai kerangka operasional dalam membina akhlak berbasis kolaborasi antara keluarga dan sekolah di MTsN 2 Klaten, Jawa Tengah. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif partisipatif dengan tiga tahapan utama, yaitu persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi, dengan pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara, angket, dan dokumentasi yang dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman dan keterlibatan orang tua dalam pendidikan karakter anak, serta perubahan perilaku siswa terutama dalam kedisiplinan ibadah, komunikasi, dan penggunaan gawai secara bijak. Program pembiasaan ibadah, literasi keluarga, serta penguatan adab digital terbukti efektif dalam membentuk karakter siswa secara holistik, sementara kemitraan antara sekolah dan orang tua semakin kuat melalui komunikasi terstruktur dan kegiatan parenting berkelanjutan. Evaluasi melalui rapor akhlak keluarga menunjukkan peningkatan pada indikator kejujuran, tanggung jawab, adab lisan, disiplin ibadah, dan adab digital. Dengan demikian, model T.A.D.A.R.U.S. dapat menjadi pendekatan aplikatif dan berkelanjutan dalam penguatan pendidikan karakter berbasis nilai Islam serta berpotensi direplikasi di madrasah lain dengan karakteristik serupa. Socio-digital transformation demands the strengthening of the family’s role in adolescent character education, particularly at the madrasah tsanawiyah (Islamic junior secondary school) level. This community service program aims to develop and implement the T.A.D.A.R.U.S. model as an operational framework for fostering moral character through collaboration between families and schools at MTsN 2 Klaten, Central Java. The method employed is a participatory qualitative approach consisting of three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive qualitative techniques. The results indicate a significant improvement in parents’ understanding and involvement in their children's character education, as well as positive changes in students’ behavior, particularly in religious discipline, communication, and responsible use of digital devices. Programs such as habituation of worship, family literacy, and strengthening digital ethics proved effective in shaping students’ character holistically, while the partnership between school and parents became stronger through structured communication and continuous parenting programs. Evaluation through the family moral report card showed improvements in indicators such as honesty, responsibility, verbal manners, religious discipline, and digital ethics. Therefore, the T.A.D.A.R.U.S. model can serve as an applicable and sustainable approach to strengthening character education based on Islamic values and has the potential to be replicated in other madrasahs with similar characteristics.

Abstract

Kegiatan produksi bawang goreng di Bangsal Pangsa Panen Gebang Mulyo menghasilkan limbah minyak jelantah dalam jumlah yang cukup besar. Limbah tersebut belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal, sehingga berpotensi menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mendampingi pengelolaan limbah melalui pengembangan unit produksi biodiesel berbasis minyak jelantah sebagai implementasi konsep circular economy. Metode yang digunakan meliputi identifikasi potensi limbah, perancangan unit produksi biodiesel skala kecil, pelatihan proses produksi biodiesel, serta pendampingan operasional kepada mitra. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa unit produksi biodiesel berbasis metode transesterifikasi berhasil dibangun dan dioperasikan. Unit ini mampu mengolah hingga 95% limbah minyak jelantah menjadi biodiesel dengan kualitas yang memenuhi standar SNI, sehingga dapat mengurangi limbah produksi sekaligus menghasilkan bahan bakar alternatif. Selain memberikan manfaat lingkungan, kegiatan ini juga membuka peluang ekonomi baru bagi masyarakat. Pengembangan unit biodiesel pada industri bawang goreng ini berpotensi menjadi model penerapan circular economy pada sektor agroindustri skala kecil. Pendampingan lanjutan masih diperlukan, khususnya dalam pengolahan gliserol sebagai produk samping proses biodiesel, agar seluruh limbah dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi produk bernilai tambah. Fried shallot production activities at the Gebang Mulyo post-harvest facility generate a significant amount of waste cooking oil. This waste has not been optimally utilized, leading to potential environmental pollution. This community service program aims to assist waste management through the development of a small-scale biodiesel production unit using waste cooking oil as an implementation of the circular economy concept. The methods employed include waste potential identification, design and development of a biodiesel production unit, training on biodiesel production processes, and operational assistance for the partners. The results show that the biodiesel production unit based on the transesterification method was successfully constructed and operated. The unit is capable of converting up to 95% of waste cooking oil into biodiesel that meets Indonesian National Standard (SNI) quality requirements, thereby reducing production waste while generating an alternative fuel source. In addition to environmental benefits, this program also creates new economic opportunities for the community. The development of this biodiesel unit in the fried shallot industry has the potential to serve as a model for circular economy implementation in small-scale agroindustries. Further assistance is required, particularly in the processing of glycerol as a by-product, to ensure that all waste can be transformed into value-added products).

Abstract

Kemiskinan di Jawa Tengah merupakan masalah yang belum terselesaikan hingga saat ini. Salah satu upaya untuk menurunkan kemiskinan adalah dengan pemberdayaan ekonomi melalui Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah (UMKM). Namun mayoritas UMKM, termasuk UMKM Annisa36 masih mengalami keterbatasan akses modal, sehingga menghambat untuk pengembangan bisnisnya. Walaupun ada kreditur yang bersedia meminjami modal, namun pinjaman modal harus melalui  rentenir tanpa jaminan/collateral, dengan biaya bunga yang sangat memberatkan. Oleh karena sangat urgent dilakukan edukasi pembiayaan skema Qordhul Hasan bagi UMKM Annisa36, Kec. Candi, Kota Semarang. Pembiayaan  Qordhul Hasan sebagai sangat tepat diberikan kepada UMKM non bankable, yang tidak memerlukan jaminan, tanpa bunga dan selanjutnya peminjam hanya mengembalikan dana dengan cara diangsur sebesar nilai modal yang dipinjam sehingga tidak memberatkan bagi UMKM. Tujuan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan, pemahaman, dan keterampilan terkait pembiyaan modal dengan skema Qordhul Hasan bagi UMKM Annisa36, Keluarahan Candi, Kec. Candisari Kota Semarang. Metode pengabdian masyarakat, antara lain: a) Survey awal untuk mengetahui potensi dan permasalahan bisnis UMKM Annisa36, Kel. Candi, Kec. Candisari, Kota Semarang. b) Penyampaian materi Edukasi Pembiayaan skema Qordhul Hasan kepada UMKM Annisa36, Kel. Candi, Kec. Candisari, Kota Semarang, dan c) Monitoring dan penilaian kinerja terhadap hasil edukasi pembiayaan skema Qordhul Hasan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa setelah dilakukan edukasi, pendampingan, serta monitoring dan evaluasi, terbukti bahwa UMKM Annisa36, Kel. Candi, Kec. Candisari, Kota Semarang mempunyai pengetahuan, pemahaman dan keterampilan mekanisme pembiayaan qordhul hasan. Dengan kemudahan akses modal ini, UMKM dapat berkembang dan bertahan dalam jangka panjang. Poverty in Central Java remains an unresolved problem. One effort to reduce poverty is economic empowerment through Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). However, the majority of MSMEs, including Annisa36, still experience limited access to capital, hampering their business development. Although creditors are willing to lend capital, these loans must be obtained through loan sharks without collateral, with very burdensome interest rates. Therefore, it is urgent to educate the Annisa36 MSMEs in Candi District, Semarang City, about the Qordhul Hasan financing scheme. Qordhul Hasan financing is highly appropriate for non-bankable MSMEs, as it requires no collateral and is interest-free. The borrower then repays the funds in installments equal to the amount of the loan, thus minimizing the burden on the MSME. The purpose of this community service is to increase knowledge, understanding, and skills related to capital financing under the Qordhul Hasan scheme for the Annisa36 MSME in Candi Village, Candisari District, Semarang City. The community service methods include: a). An initial survey to determine the business potential and challenges of the Annisa36 MSME, Candi Subdistrict, Candisari District, Semarang City. b) Delivery of educational materials on financing under the Qordhul Hasan scheme to the Annisa36 MSME, Candi Subdistrict, Candisari District, Semarang City. c) Monitoring and performance assessment of the results of the Qordhul Hasan financing education. The results showed that after educating, mentoring, monitoring, and evaluation, the Annisa36 MSME, Candi Subdistrict, Candisari District, Semarang City, has the knowledge, understanding, and skills to operate the Qordhul Hasan financing mechanism. With this easy access to capital, MSMEs can grow and survive in the long term.

Abstract

This study maps the CEFR reading competence levels of 81 EFL grade 12 students and assess their cognitive reading challenges. Using a descriptive qualitative, objective data from the Oxford Reading CEFR Test, which was mapped to Khalifa and Weir’s (2009) framework, was combined with qualitative questionnaire findings. The findings indicate a systematic shift in reading problems. A2 levels students struggle with lower-level decoding but have a “failure to monitor comprehension” due to in adequate attentional resources, thus they are ignorant of their inability to handle higher-level activities. As basic decoding is automated, B1 students become more aware of higher-level issues such as inference. Meanwhile, B2 students confront challenges in developing a global mental model. These findings underscore the need of using customized educational interventions that are adapted to students’ specific cognitive thresholds rather than providing universal reading training.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan literasi matematika siswa SMPN 4 Tanjungpinang kelas IX dalam menyelesaikan soal Asesmen Kompetensi Minimum (AKM) ditinjau dari tingkat kecemasan matematika. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods dengan desain explanatory sequential. Subjek penelitian adalah 30 siswa kelas IX yang dipilih secara purposive. Instrumen yang digunakan meliputi angket kecemasan matematika dengan tiga faktor (kognitif, afektif, fisiologis) yang terdiri dari 18 butir pernyataan skala Likert, serta soal AKM yang mencakup konten aljabar, geometri, data dan ketidakpastian, serta bilangan pada level kognitif knowing, applying, dan reasoning. Hasil statistik deskriptif menunjukkan bahwa siswa dengan kecemasan rendah memperoleh rata-rata skor AKM sebesar 3,00 (SD=0,707), siswa dengan kecemasan sedang memperoleh rata-rata 2,73 (SD=0,883), dan siswa dengan kecemasan tinggi memperoleh rata-rata 2,67 (SD=0,577). Uji normalitas Shapiro-Wilk menunjukkan bahwa data pada kategori sedang (p=0,009) dan tinggi (p=0,000) tidak berdistribusi normal, sehingga digunakan uji Kruskal-Wallis yang menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan kemampuan AKM antar kelompok kecemasan (H=0,725; p=0,696). Uji korelasi Spearman mengkonfirmasi tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kecemasan matematika dengan kemampuan AKM (rs=0,079; p=0,678). Analisis kualitatif terhadap jawaban lima subjek terpilih mengungkap bahwa kemampuan literasi matematika lebih dipengaruhi oleh penguasaan konten dan proses berpikir matematis daripada tingkat kecemasan semata. This study aims to analyze the mathematical literacy ability of ninth-grade students at SMPN 4 Tanjungpinang in solving Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) problems, viewed from the perspective of mathematics anxiety. The study employed a mixed methods approach with an explanatory sequential design. The research subjects were 30 ninth-grade students selected purposively. The instruments used included a mathematics anxiety questionnaire based on Suharyadi's (2003) indicators with three factors (cognitive, affective, physiological) consisting of 18 Likert-scale items, and AKM questions covering algebra, geometry, data and uncertainty, and number content at knowing, applying, and reasoning cognitive levels. Descriptive statistical results showed that students with low anxiety obtained an average AKM score of 3.00 (SD=0.707), students with moderate anxiety obtained an average of 2.73 (SD=0.883), and students with high anxiety obtained an average of 2.67 (SD=0.577). The Shapiro-Wilk normality test showed that data in the moderate (p=0.009) and high (p=0.000) categories were not normally distributed, so the Kruskal-Wallis test was used, which showed no significant difference in AKM ability among anxiety groups (H=0.725; p=0.696). The Spearman correlation test confirmed no significant relationship between mathematics anxiety and AKM ability (rs=0.079; p=0.678). Qualitative analysis of five selected subjects' answers revealed that mathematical literacy ability is more influenced by content mastery and mathematical thinking processes than by anxiety level alone.

Abstract

Low levels of reading interest and student engagement remain major challenges in high school English instruction. This issue is further exacerbated by the continued use of conventional teaching strategies and the limited integration of multimodal media and digital technologies. This community service program aimed to enhance teachers’ pedagogical competence in teaching reading through a multimodal approach, literacy enrichment, and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The program was implemented in three stages: a workshop, the development of teaching modules, and classroom implementation, involving 52 high school English teachers from the MGMP in Sidoarjo Regency. Data were collected through pre-activity and post-activity questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. The results indicate a significant improvement in teachers’ understanding of multimodal, literacy-based, and AI-assisted reading instruction, increasing from approximately 60–70% at the initial stage to over 85% after the workshop. All participants successfully developed instructional modules, and more than 75% implemented them in their classrooms. This implementation contributed to increased student engagement, as reflected in higher levels of participation and interaction during reading activities. These findings suggest that a practice-based training approach—integrating workshops, module development, and classroom implementation—is effective in enhancing teachers’ competence and promoting more interactive and contextualized reading instruction. It is recommended that similar programs be sustained through ongoing mentoring to ensure long-term impact.

Abstract

Karies gigi merupakan masalah kesehatan mulut yang prevalensinya masih tinggi di Indonesia, khususnya pada kelompok remaja. Mayoritas kasus baru terdeteksi pada stadium lanjut karena minimnya pengetahuan tentang tanda-tanda awal karies, termasuk lesi bercak putih (white spot lesion) yang pada tahap ini sesungguhnya masih bersifat reversibel. Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa SMK Al-Sya’iriyah, Limpung, Batang, tentang deteksi dini karies gigi melalui program edukasi interaktif “Mata Jeli, Gigi Sehat”. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 12 Juni 2025 dengan desain one-group pre-post test yang melibatkan 35 siswa. Intervensi terdiri atas empat sesi edukasi yang mencakup identifikasi visual karies tahap awal, pengenalan gejala non-visual, konsep remineralisasi, serta opsi perawatan preventif. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji paired t-test untuk perbandingan nilai pengetahuan dan uji Wilcoxon signed-rank untuk perbandingan distribusi kategori. Rerata nilai pretest sebesar 47,43 ± 14,42 meningkat secara signifikan menjadi 78,29 ± 14,35 pada posttest, dengan rerata peningkatan 30,86 ± 5,07. Uji paired t-test menunjukkan perbedaan yang sangat signifikan [t(34) = 36,01, p < 0,001] dengan ukuran efek yang sangat besar (Cohen’s d = 2,14). Uji Wilcoxon mengonfirmasi perubahan distribusi kategori yang signifikan (p < 0,001), di mana proporsi siswa berkategori “tinggi” meningkat dari 0% menjadi 62,9%. Program edukasi interaktif berbasis visual ini terbukti efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan deteksi dini karies pada remaja, mendukung paradigma kedokteran gigi minimal invasif. Dental caries remains a highly prevalent oral health problem in Indonesia, particularly among adolescents. Most cases are detected at advanced stages due to limited awareness of early caries signs, including white spot lesions, which are still reversible at that stage. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge of students at SMK Al-Sya’iriyah, Limpung, Batang, regarding early dental caries detection through an interactive educational program titled “Sharp Eyes, Healthy Teeth” (Mata Jeli, Gigi Sehat). The program employed a one-group pre-post test design involving 35 students on June 12, 2025. The intervention comprised four educational sessions covering visual identification of early caries, non-visual symptoms, remineralization principles, and preventive treatment options. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test for score comparison and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for categorical distribution. Mean pre-test scores (47.43 ± 14.42) increased significantly to 78.29 ± 14.35 at post-test, with a mean improvement of 30.86 ± 5.07. The paired t-test demonstrated a highly significant difference [t(34) = 36.01, p < 0.001] with a very large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.14). The Wilcoxon test confirmed a significant shift in knowledge category distribution (p < 0.001), with the proportion of students in the “high” category increasing from 0% to 62.9%. The visual-based interactive educational program was effective in significantly improving adolescents’ early dental caries detection knowledge, supporting the minimal invasive dentistry paradigm.
