Abstract

Background: Mental health recovery requires approaches that extend beyond clinical services by integrating psychosocial support, community engagement, and economic empowerment. Individuals in the recovery process continue to face social stigma, limited access to inclusive rehabilitation services, and barriers to social and economic reintegration. Pesantren possess social capital and cultural legitimacy that position them as potential settings for community-based rehabilitation. Purpose of the Study: This community service program aimed to enhance psychosocial functioning, creative capacity, social participation, and economic readiness among post-rehabilitation santri at Pondok Pesantren Jolo Sutro, Central Lampung, through eco-print–based creative therapy. Methods: The program employed a community-based rehabilitation approach implemented through five sequential mentoring phases, including initial assessment, introduction to creative activities, eco-print practice, process reflection, and sustainability strengthening. Evaluation was conducted using a performance-based assessment rubric to assess technical and psychosocial outcomes. Results: The assessment results showed scores ranging from 3 to 5, with a mean score of 4.0. Two indicators reached the highly proficient category, four indicators were classified as developing proficiency, and two indicators fell under basic emerging skills. These findings indicate consistent progress toward moderate to high levels of creativity and ecoprint technical mastery. The program was also associated with strengthened personal capacity, improved emotional regulation, enhanced social interaction, and the initiation of a pesantren-based eco-print business unit.

Abstract

Background: The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen), plans to implement coding and artificial intelligence learning programs in schools starting the 2025/2026 academic year. SMP Negeri 56 Palembang seeks to prepare by enhancing teacher competence in coding, as 56.8% of teachers initially had no basic coding knowledge. Purpose of the Study: This study aims to provide basic coding knowledge to teachers and develop skills in utilizing educational games (Blockly Game Maze) as interactive learning media that can be integrated into the learning process. Methods: Training and workshops were conducted involving 37 teachers from various subjects. A Kirkpatrick model evaluation was applied across four levels: reaction (participant satisfaction), learning (pre-test and post-test comparison), behavior (classroom observation during mentoring), and results (overall program effectiveness). Participants used e-modules and practiced with Blockly Game Maze educational games. Results: The reaction level showed a 94.59% satisfaction rate, indicating high relevance of training materials. The learning level demonstrated a 27.03% increase in coding competency, with participants previously unfamiliar with basic coding (56.8%) beginning to master basic logic and coding structures. At the behavior level, students in five groups successfully completed Blockly Game Maze up to level 6 (100%), with three groups completing level 7. These findings prove that the training not only provided theoretical insights but also successfully built teachers' confidence in adopting new technologies to support the learning process.

Abstract

Background: Climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) is a primary commodity in Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra, with high market demand. However, wild populations are declining due to overfishing, and farmers face a chronic shortage of high-quality fry due to seasonal spawning limitations. Purpose: This community service program aims to empower local fish farmers through hormonal-based induced spawning technology and participatory training to increase fry production capacity and improve farmers' competence. Methods: The program used a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach with three phases: planning (FGDs), implementation (hormone injection, spawning, larval rearing), and evaluation (pre/post-test). Participants were 15 farmers from Pokdakan Balai Makmur. Spawning used 0.25 mL/kg Ovaprim and 0.90 mL/kg hCG. Parameters measured included fecundity (F), fertilization rate (FR), hatching rate (HR), survival rate (SR), and farmer competence. Results: Fecundity reached 6,326 eggs per female. FR was 98.6% (SD ±0.81), HR was 96.3% (SD ±1.20), and SR was 99.1% (SD ±0.51). Water quality remained optimal (pH 6.5–8.8, temperature 25.8–29.4°C, DO 5.0–5.5 mg/L). Farmer competence improved from 25.8% (SD ±8.2) to 60.5% (SD ±7.4), a significant increase of 34.7 percentage points (paired t-test, p < 0.001). A community-managed "Seed Fund" was established for hormone procurement.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia's literacy culture remains at a concerning level, with the PISA survey placing the country 62nd out of 70 nations. Sukajaya Village reflects this challenge, characterized by limited access to high-quality reading materials and high levels of gadget dependency among children. Purpose of the Study: This study aims to analyze the strategies employed by the local community to optimize the Reading Corner as a sustainable and self-reliant center for non-formal education. Methods: The initiative utilized a descriptive qualitative approach, applying Participatory Action Research (PAR) and Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) through a 5D cycle: Define, Discovery, Dream, Design, and Deliver. Results: The program successfully strengthened literacy governance by mobilizing local assets and relocating the facility to a strategic, weather-protected residence of a local educator. Quantitatively, this intervention resulted in a significant increase in accessibility, with the number of weekly visitors rising from zero to an average of 20 children per week. Success was driven by participatory management, including the establishment of a Village Literacy Committee involving Karang Taruna youth and women activists. The emergence of local champions and increased parental support have ensured the program's sustainability. The study concludes that mobilizing social capital and internal village assets is more effective for rural literacy development than relying solely on external assistance.
