Abstract

Background: Mathematics learning is frequently perceived as abstract and disconnected from students’ daily experiences. Ethnomathematics offers a culturally responsive approach by embedding mathematical concepts within community traditions. However, teachers often face challenges in analyzing classroom data due to limited familiarity with accessible statistical software. This community service program addressed the need to strengthen ethnomathematics-based instruction supported by digital data analysis tools, particularly Jamovi. Purpose of the Study: This study aimed to enhance teachers’ understanding of ethnomathematics and improve their competence in applying the Jamovi application for statistical data analysis in mathematics learning. Methods: The program employed a participatory training model consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Activities included socialization sessions, seven online workshops, and one offline session involving 50 mathematics teachers from the MGMP forum. Pre-tests, post-tests, product presentations, and satisfaction questionnaires were used to evaluate outcomes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Normalized Gain (N-Gain). Results: The findings indicate high participant satisfaction, with an average of 70.6% selecting “Strongly Agree.” Teachers’ mean scores improved from 66.56 (pre-test) to 85.76 (post-test), with an average N-Gain of 0.59 (medium-to-high category). The results demonstrate that integrating ethnomathematics with Jamovi effectively enhances teachers’ statistical literacy, technological competence, and ability to design contextual mathematics learning.

Abstract

Background: The presence of the Community Learning Centre (CLC) program in Sabah, Malaysia, has helped children of Indonesian migrant workers (TKI) access education. However, learning in the CLC program has not been optimal. Purpose of the Study: this study aims to maximise educational services for Indonesian immigrant children in Sabah, Malaysia. Methods: The mentoring program is implemented through a service-learning method integrated with the International Professional Training Education (PLP). The mentoring involves IAIN Palopo and the LPTK (Teaching Institution for Teachers and Teachers). The mentoring is carried out at CLC Holy Trinity Tawau, CLC AL Alaq Tawau, Pesantren As’adiyah Tawau, and CLC Cahaya Tagas. Results: The mentoring material can be divided into three: general and religious material for students, and learning management for teachers and principals. The mentoring pattern is adjusted to the needs. The impact of educational mentoring for immigrant children in Malaysia is very positive, so it needs to be continued on an ongoing basis. The mechanism for sending students to assist teachers at CLC Sabah needs to be strengthened with an MoU between the Consulate of the Republic of Indonesia and universities.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia is famous for its disaster-prone status, having been situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire which makes areas like the Special Region of Yogyakarta vulnerable to various disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions. Nevertheless, disaster preparedness is still low; community and organizational preparedness, especially related to technical capacity and cross-sector coordination, continue to be a challenge. In terms of community-based disaster preparedness, such functions from intermediary civic organizations, such as Kwartir Daerah (Kwarda) of the Indonesian Scout Movement, have not been employed effectively. Purpose of Study: It is the purpose of this study to formulate and evaluate a penta-helix collaborative disaster mitigation model for Kwarda, which would be intended to further the organization's preparedness capacity and, through cross-sector coordination, augment regional resilience. Methods: The approach of community-based research (CBR) design with Kwarda and community stakeholders placed as active co-authors of the research. It is based on the penta-helix framework, which includes five actors: government, academia, private sector, community, and media. Research stages (problem identification, participatory planning, implementation, evaluation). Program interventions include disaster preparedness education, simulation-based exercises, coordination strengthening activities, and development of contingency planning mechanisms. A pre-test and post-test design, complemented by qualitative observation, measured the test scores of 50 subjects. Results: These results include improvements in disaster preparedness capacity of the participants through improvements in knowledge score average, which increased from 58.2 (pre-test) up to 81.4 (post-test), or 39.9% increases. Moreover, qualitative findings show improved coordination capacity with faster response times, more systematic evacuation procedures, and stronger stakeholder cooperation during the simulation activities.

Abstract

Background: Plant diversity material is one of the biology materials studied with the aim that students are able to identify, distinguish, and communicate the characteristics of the plant world division. However, students are often faced with challenges in recognizing and distinguishing different types of plants due to the complexity and variation of plant morphological characteristics so that the material is found difficult by most students in school. The solution to this problem is the use of learning media such as Google Lens and plant preservation. Purpose of the Study: This activity aims to increase teachers' knowledge and ability to use plant identification applications (Google Lens) and plant preservation for learning plant diversity. Methods: The method of the activity includes pre-tests, material enrichment, mentoring, post-test, and evaluation. This community service activity was attended by 46 MIS teachers in Sleman Regency. Results: Pre-test results showed 84.78% of participants in the Less criteria, which decreased to 50% in the post-test. As many as 10.87% - 50% of participants obtained a post score that was in the criteria of Sufficient (C) to Good (B). As many as 97.83% of participants were able to use the application well and 52% were in the Good (B) criteria for the preparation of LKPD. The results of the questionnaire showed that 63.64% of teachers strongly agreed that this community service activity can increase knowledge and competence in the effective and efficient use of learning media and 72.73% were motivated to develop LKPD (Student Worksheets) that can improve students' abilities in learning.

Abstract

Background: One effective strategy for stunting prevention is implementing interventions during adolescence, specifically targeting adolescent girls who are prospective mothers. However, adolescent girls with disabilities frequently encounter barriers in accessing knowledge regarding nutrition, reproductive health, and general health rights due to communication limitations, social stigma, and inadequate community support. SLB-B Karya Mulia Surabaya holds significant potential as a strategic partner for stunting prevention through inclusive nutritional interventions. Purpose of the Study: This community service activity aims to empower disabled adolescent girls at SLB-B Karya Mulia Surabaya through the RESTAYA (Surabaya Anti-Stunting Youth) community in preventing stunting through inclusive nutrition interventions. Methods: The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach consisting of five stages: participatory diagnosis (FGD), collaborative action planning, action implementation (inclusive nutrition education, healthy menu practice, peer support group, and RESTAYA community formation), joint reflection, and replanning. Twenty-three participants with hearing impairments were involved, with knowledge and attitude measured using pre-test and post-test questionnaires analyzed with Wilcoxon test. Results: Based on FGD results, most disabled adolescent girls did not yet understand the relationship between nutrition, menstruation, and the risk of anemia or stunting. Educational results based on the Wilcoxon test showed significant increases in knowledge (p=0.001) and attitude (p=0.001) among 23 participants. Anthropometric measurements revealed 26.1% of participants had thin nutritional status (chronic energy deficiency). The program successfully established the RESTAYA peer support community and improved the nutritional literacy of disabled adolescent girls.
