International Assulta of Research and Engagement
International Assulta of Research and Engagement (IARE) is a blind peer-reviewed journal published by Edujavare Publishing, Indonesia. This journal publishes research articles, conceptual articles, field study reports and book reviews on all scopes of education (See Focus and Scope). This journal article is published two times a year; 2 issues per year (June and December). Focus and Scope IARE: International Assulta of Research and Engagement (IARE) is an open access, refereed journal that responds to an emerging global movement of collaborative, critical and change-oriented community-university research initiatives. IARE provides an inclusive forum for faculty, staff, students, professional practitioners and community representatives to explore issues and reflect on methodological practices relating to the full range of engaged activity. Articles include empirical case studies; analyses of partnership models, practices and processes; and theoretical reflections that contribute to the scholarship of engagement. A central aspect of community-based research and practice is that it seeks to drive change - social, intellectual, institutional. As such, IARE encourages innovative, mutually beneficial and culturally competent research approaches to conceptualising, designing, undertaking and communicating engaged research. Articles will not only bridge disciplinary boundaries but will seek to challenge traditional binaries of academic and non-academic knowledge systems by rigorously combining different ways of knowing and being. IARE welcomes articles that articulate and interrogate the complex tensions that exist between theory and practice, and between the various participants in the research enterprise, as well as advance the value of research that is driven by need as much as curiosity. Further, IARE is avowedly international in scope, actively seeking to make the journal a space for diverse voices and perspectives, in multiple forms and modes and from across different geographies. As an open access journal, IARE’ mission is to increase the timely, accessible and inclusive sharing of new knowledge and valuable insights from current practice to scholars, community leaders, practitioners and activists around the world. In this way, IARE strives to contribute to, and help build this active, evolving and critical global dialogue for change. Note on the Journal Sections: In establishing the format for IARE, the Editorial Committee sought to fulfil two goals: one, to create space for more chairs at the research table; and two, to expand the research table itself. That is, not just more, but different. For this reason, three article sections have been established: research; practice-based; and snapshots. In every instance, the focus is on including only high-quality articles on community-university engagement that meet the journal’s focus and scope. The Research articles (Refereed) section provides peer and institutional recognition of community-based research and scholarship. An important aspect of these peer-reviewed articles is that they critically consider the contribution made by the research to the literature – does it challenge, expand, renew? The Practice-based articles (Non-refereed) section of the journal focuses on excellence in the reporting and reflection on engagement in practice. By championing the intellectual rigor and craft of experiential-focused contributions, practice-based articles fundamentally complement the research articles. Finally, the Snapshots section (Non-refereed) is designed to showcase the rich variety of knowledge, experience and impressions by all stakeholders in community-university collaborations. This section is particularly geared to those new to research and/or sharing their knowledge and practice in an English-language journal setting. In addition, creative use of visuals, video and audio are welcome, in all sections. All sections are published together as one volume of the journal.

<![CDATA[Indonesia has great potential in fisheries, including marine products such as squid, especially in Batu Bara Regency. However, the use of squid by coastal communities is still limited to simple processing, so the economic value of this product has yet to be optimal. This socialization program for making squid nuggets aims to increase people's creativity in processing squid into products with high selling value. The service method used is the Community-Based Research (CBR) approach. This program actively involves the community in the entire process, from planning to evaluation, to ensure the relevance and sustainability of the program using this approach, including technical training for making squid nuggets, recipe innovation sessions, and product marketing strategy. This training was carried out by practitioners and experts in food processing and marketing. The results of this service show a significant increase in the community's knowledge and skills in processing squid into squid nuggets. Apart from that, there has been increased creativity, which can be seen from the various product innovations produced. Independent business groups were also formed, which could produce and market squid nuggets with consistent quality. Increasing community income from the squid nugget business is an indicator of the success of this program. In conclusion, the socialization program for making squid nuggets has succeeded in increasing coastal communities' creativity and economic welfare. However, to achieve long-term sustainability, it is necessary to pay attention to environmental aspects and expand the program's scope to widen its impact.]]>

<![CDATA[Public health problems, especially those related to mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever and malaria, are often caused by poor environmental conditions. Due to irregular waste disposal, stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes, so the solution is the bio-pore method. This community service aims to eradicate the problem of mosquito breeding by increasing collective awareness and community involvement through the socialization of biopore creation. The community service method uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The community service activity was carried out at the student dormitory on Jalan Jawa VI No. 35A, Sumbersari Village, Jember, which students attended. The results of the community service activity showed an increase in participants' understanding and awareness of the importance of biopores in preventing mosquito breeding. Evaluation through questionnaires before and after the socialization showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge and awareness regarding the function and benefits of biopores. The active participation of the community in maintaining environmental cleanliness can create a healthier environment and reduce the risk of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes.]]>

<![CDATA[Plastic waste in eco-bricks is one of the innovative solutions to reduce the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment. Ecobricks are plastic bottles filled densely with non-organic plastic waste cut into small pieces, forming a sturdy building material that can be used for various construction purposes. The socialization program for the use of waste in eco-bricks is one of the important initiatives in overcoming the increasingly worrying problem of plastic waste. This program aims to increase public awareness about the importance of plastic waste management, reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfills, and provide alternatives to using plastic waste that is more useful. This service uses the PAR (Participatory Action Research) method by directly providing education to students, including the lecture and question and answer method. Through this socialization, the community is invited to actively participate in making eco-bricks, understand the techniques and benefits, and apply them in daily life. The result of this service is creating a cleaner environment, reducing plastic pollution, and forming collective awareness to preserve the environment through concrete actions. This service concludes that eco-bricks are an effective and sustainable solution to overcome the problem of plastic waste while providing added value to the community. Further development and socialization of the use of eco-bricks are expected to encourage wider participation from the community in managing plastic waste creatively and environmentally friendly.]]>

<![CDATA[Waste management is crucial in maintaining environmental cleanliness and the health of living things around it. At SD Negeri Glagahwero 01, waste problems are a major concern in maintaining the cleanliness of the school environment. This community service aims to educate students about their role in waste management and increase awareness of a waste-free environment.

<![CDATA[Stunting is a serious nutritional problem in Indonesia that can hinder children's physical and cognitive development. Based on data on the prevalence of stunting in toddlers collected by WHO, Indonesia is among the third countries with the highest prevalence in the Southeast Asia region. One effective effort to prevent stunting is to provide exclusive breastfeeding to babies from birth in accordance with one of the goals of the SDG's (Sustainable Development Goals) program, namely ending all forms of malnutrition with a strategic plan (renstra) to increase the percentage of babies under 6 months who receive exclusive breastfeeding. This community service activity aims to provide education about Exclusive Breastfeeding for pregnant women as an effort to reduce the incidence of stunting. This community service method uses Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) with educational counseling techniques assisted by flip sheet media. The target of this community service activity is pregnant women at the Polindes in Selebung Village, Aik Darek Health Center, Batukliang District, Central Lombok Regency. The results of this community service activity show an increase in pregnant women's understanding of Exclusive Breastfeeding. It is hoped that by increasing the knowledge and awareness of pregnant women, there will be a decrease in stunting rates in Selebung Village, as well as improving the quality of maternal and child health in the area.]]>

<![CDATA[This community service initiative aimed to empower homemakers by providing culinary business mentoring, helping them transform their passion for cooking into profitable home-based enterprises. With the increasing need for economic independence and skill development among homemakers, this program sought to address gaps in entrepreneurial knowledge, digital marketing, and business strategies. Using a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach, the mentoring model included hands-on workshops, one-on-one guidance, and peer collaboration over four months. The results showed significant improvements in participants' business knowledge, digital literacy, and income, with many reporting a 40-60% increase in monthly earnings. Participants also experienced a shift in mindset, viewing themselves as entrepreneurs rather than just homemakers. While the program was successful, limitations such as time constraints and access to digital tools were noted. Future programs should incorporate flexible learning schedules and further digital infrastructure support. This initiative contributes to the growing recognition of homemakers as key economic actors, offering a scalable model for empowering women in local communities.]]>
