Abstract

Education faces a major challenge in preparing a generation capable of responding to uncertainties caused by climate change and the sustainability crisis. The Education for Sustainable Development framework emphasizes strategic thinking competence as the ability to design adaptive actions based on systemic analysis and future projections. However, learning practices in schools still tend to present climate change in an informative manner without training students’ anticipatory capacity. This community service program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach to strengthen junior high school teachers’ strategic thinking competence through ESD-based scenario training. Seventeen teachers in West Java participated in an online training program consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection cycles. The activities included strengthening ESD concepts, scenario development techniques, and contextual climate change module design. Evaluation was conducted through pretest–posttest comparison and rubric-based module assessment. The results showed an increase in the average score from 67 to 84. The teaching modules produced demonstrated teachers’ ability to identify driving forces, formulate key uncertainties, and design multiple logical and contextual future scenarios. The program effectively enhanced teachers’ pedagogical capacity and contributed to the transformation of future-oriented learning practices.

Abstract

The abundant supply of rice straw in Wangka Village has not been optimally utilized as livestock feed, while livestock farmers face a shortage of forage, especially during the dry season. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of farmer-livestock breeders in utilizing rice straw as an alternative feed through ammoniation technology using urea fertilizer. The activity was conducted on May 8, 2026, involving 15 participants consisting of farmers and livestock breeders. The methods used included training sessions, demonstrations, hands-on practice, mentoring, and monitoring throughout the 21–28-day fermentation process. Evaluation was conducted through a post-test, observation of practical skills, and monitoring of the rice straw fermentation results. The evaluation results showed that 12 out of 15 participants (80%) understood the procedure for producing ammoniated straw and were able to practice it independently, while 3 participants (20%) still required guidance, particularly regarding urea dosage determination and storage techniques during fermentation. Monitoring results showed that the resulting ammonia-treated straw had a softer texture, a yellowish-brown color, a characteristic ammonia odor, and did not rot, making it suitable for use as livestock feed. In addition, 10 out of 15 participants (66.7%) stated that they would continue to apply the ammonia treatment technology in the next harvest season. These findings indicate that training on rice straw ammoniation technology is effective in building community capacity, promoting the adoption of appropriate technologies, and supporting the sustainable supply of livestock feed during the dry season.

Abstract

Feed availability is one of the key factors determining the success of ruminant livestock operations, especially during the dry season when forage becomes increasingly scarce. This community service activity aims to improve farmers’ knowledge and skills in processing kinggrass and rice straw into silage as a high-quality alternative feed with a longer shelf life. The activity was conducted in Wangka Village on May 8, 2026, using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach through the following stages: problem identification, extension, demonstration, hands-on silage production, mentoring, and activity evaluation. The evaluation was conducted through observation of participants’ ability to practice each stage of silage production, interviews, and assessment of the physical quality of the resulting silage. The results of the community service activity showed that participants were able to understand and practice the silage-making process, starting from chopping forage, mixing fermentation ingredients, compacting the mixture in an airtight container, to the fermentation process itself. The resulting silage had good physical quality, characterized by a greenish-brown color, a fresh, sour aroma, a soft texture, and the absence of mold, indicating that the fermentation process occurred optimally. In addition to improving participants’ skills in feed processing, this activity also enhances the community’s understanding of the importance of silage technology as a solution for securing feed reserves during the dry season, promotes more optimal use of agricultural waste, and supports the development of more efficient and sustainable livestock businesses.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of fishermen’s wives in Nangadhero Village in diversifying processed fish products into fish meatballs and fish satay as value-added products. The program was conducted using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach through the stages of problem identification, socialization, training, hands-on practice, and evaluation. A total of eight fishermen’s wives participated in the training. Program evaluation was carried out through direct observation of participants’ practical skills in each stage of fish processing, complemented by discussions and feedback sessions. The evaluation results indicated that 95% of the participants successfully achieved the expected competencies in terms of knowledge, technical skills, and active participation throughout the training. Participants were able to independently perform all stages of producing fish meatballs and fish satay, from raw material preparation to the final product. Economic analysis further demonstrated that processing fish into meatballs and satay generated an estimated 94% higher profit compared with selling fresh fish directly, highlighting the economic feasibility of product diversification. In addition to improving technical competencies, the program enhanced participants’ understanding of entrepreneurship opportunities based on local fishery resources. Therefore, this training provides an effective community empowerment strategy to increase the added value of fishery products while supporting sustainable household income among fishermen’s families.

Abstract

The limited competence of Islamic Civilization History teachers in developing critical thinking assessment instruments remains a significant challenge in implementing the Merdeka Curriculum. Most teachers continue to use assessment practices that emphasize lower-order thinking skills and have limited understanding of the Facione critical thinking framework. This community service program aimed to strengthen teachers' competence through training and mentoring using the Participatory Action Learning (PAL) approach, which was selected to promote active participation, collaborative problem-solving, and continuous practice in authentic assessment development. The program involved 15 Islamic Civilization History teachers from six Madrasah Aliyah in Sorong Regency, Southwest Papua. Program effectiveness was evaluated through pre-test and post-test assessments, observations, and product evaluations. The results showed a substantial improvement in teachers' competence, with the mean score increasing from 61.33 to 87.13, representing an improvement of 42.07%. All participants successfully developed classroom-ready assessment packages consisting of assessment blueprints, HOTS-based test items, scoring rubrics, and assessment formats aligned with the six critical thinking dimensions proposed by Facione. Product evaluation further indicated that the developed instruments were relevant, practical, and suitable for classroom implementation. These findings demonstrate that the PAL-based training and mentoring model effectively enhances teachers' assessment literacy while producing validated assessment instruments that support authentic assessment practices and strengthen the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Madrasah Aliyah.

Abstract

Poverty remains a serious challenge in Indonesia's national development, including in Seberang Palinggam Village, South Padang District, Padang City, which has been designated as one of the 23 slum settlement points in Padang City. The majority of its residents work as fishermen, port laborers, and small traders with unstable incomes, making them one of the most in need of social protection program interventions. This article aims to describe and analyze the implementation of socialization on the utilization of the People's Welfare Direct Cash Assistance (BLT Kesra) as an effort to empower the underprivileged community in the village. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were obtained thru observation, interactive discussions, documentation, and relevant literature studies. The research results show that before the socialization activities were carried out, the community's understanding of the objectives, distribution mechanisms, and utilization of the Kesra BLT was still limited. After the socialization was conducted in a participatory and communicative manner, the community's understanding increased, especially regarding the targeted, productive, and responsible use of the assistance. The socialization also succeeded in raising awareness that the BLT Kesra not only functions as short-term consumptive aid but also as a first step toward the economic independence of the community. However, the effectiveness of the program still faces challenges such as inaccuracies in recipient data and the lack of ongoing support. Therefore, socialization needs to be carried out periodically and integrated with skills training programs and business mentoring to create a more sustainable empowerment impact.
