Abstract

Access to education remains a critical challenge in Indonesia, particularly for individuals who are unable to complete formal schooling due to socio-economic and personal constraints. Non-formal education, especially through community learning centers, plays a strategic role in addressing this issue by providing flexible and inclusive learning opportunities. This study aims to examine the implementation of non-formal equivalency education in enhancing educational access for learners at a community learning center, PKBM Mutiara Bintang. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the implementation of equivalency education has significantly contributed to expanding educational access by accommodating diverse learner backgrounds, fostering active and supportive learning environments, and promoting learner motivation. In addition, the program not only facilitates the acquisition of basic academic knowledge but also equips learners with practical skills relevant to everyday life. The study highlights that flexibility, inclusivity, and learner-centered approaches are key factors in the effectiveness of non-formal education programs. These findings suggest that equivalency education can serve as an adaptive strategy to reduce educational inequality and support lifelong learning opportunities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of media literacy among university students living in boarding houses around Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED). The research employed a quantitative descriptive method involving 50 respondents selected through a survey using a Likert-scale questionnaire that measured five indicators: the ability to distinguish factual information from hoaxes, habits of source verification, ethics in using social media, awareness of personal data security, and critical thinking in responding to digital content. The results show that students’ media literacy is generally in the good category, as reflected in their ability to access digital information easily, identify misleading content, use polite communication, and maintain privacy when using social media. However, some respondents still exhibit inconsistent verification habits and limited confidence in recognizing misinformation, indicating uneven literacy levels among students. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening digital awareness programs, especially for students living independently in boarding houses who rely heavily on online platforms for academic and daily information needs. The study suggests that universities develop continuous media literacy initiatives and that students cultivate more consistent verification habits to foster responsible digital behavior.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of a community education program within a private tutoring institution and critically examines the dilemma between educational commercialization and inclusivity principles at Qualifa House Tutoring Institution in Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed using observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña based on seven core principles of community education: participation, relevance, sustainability, equity, independence, openness, and flexibility. The findings reveal that the principles of relevance, flexibility, and independence were strongly implemented through learner-centered programs that responded effectively to participants’ educational needs and encouraged self-directed learning. However, the principle of equity emerged as the weakest dimension due to limited access for learners from low-income families caused by a fee-based financing system. In addition, participation, sustainability, and openness were found to be moderately implemented because of limited community involvement, insufficient external partnerships, and weak program accountability mechanisms. These findings highlight a fundamental tension between organizational sustainability and equitable educational access. The study concludes that lembaga bimbingan belajaroperating within community education contexts require a social entrepreneurship model capable of balancing financial sustainability with social inclusion

This study aims to describe the application of self directed learningwhich includes planning, implementation, and evaluation. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The data was analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing and tested for validity by triangulation. The results of the study show that planning is carried out through goal setting, material selection, and preparation of independent modules according to the needs of learning residents. The implementation takes place flexibly through module-based assignments, tutor assistance with an andragogy approach, and communication using digital media. Evaluation is carried out on an ongoing basis through monitoring the learning process, assignment assessment, and post-test at the end of each semester.

Abstract

The low reading interest of the Indonesian people is a challenge in efforts to strengthen literacy, so the role of non-formal educational institutions such as Community Reading Centers (PKBM) is needed. This study aims to describe the role of the management of PKBM Bintang Cendikia Ananda in improving literacy reading culture through Community Reading Gardens (TBM). The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that PKBM managers play an active role in providing literacy facilities, organizing writing and reading activities, and building collaborations with various parties to support literacy programs. Managers also apply a personal approach and ongoing mentoring that can increase community motivation and confidence in reading and writing. Although there are obstacles such as low self-confidence of some participants, the strategies implemented by managers have proven effective in fostering a culture of literacy. Thus, TBM PKBM Bintang Cendikia Ananda functions not only as a reading space, but also as a center for literacy-based community empowerment

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of an equality education program through the collaboration between PKBM Centella Asiatica and Rumah Belajar An Najma in Bengkulu City. The study aims to analyze the implementation process, identify the forms of institutional collaboration, and explore factors influencing program effectiveness. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving PKBM managers, tutors, learning center administrators, and learners in Package B and Package C programs. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that the collaboration has successfully expanded educational access for school dropouts and adult learners through a flexible, community-based learning system. The program integrates academic instruction, life skills, and religious values, creating a holistic learning environment that enhances learner motivation and participation. A clear division of responsibilities between the two institutions strengthens program implementation, while community support contributes to its sustainability. However, challenges remain, including limited facilities, inadequate digital infrastructure, and irregular learner attendance.
