Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology requires students to possess 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and digital literacy. One of the efforts to develop these skills is through the introduction of basic programming (coding), which can enhance computational thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving abilities. However, in reality, many high school students still have limited understanding of basic programming concepts. Therefore, this community service program aims to improve students' understanding of basic programming concepts and develop their computational thinking skills through coding training using Scratch. The method used in this activity consists of several stages, including problem identification, needs analysis, training program design, training implementation, and activity evaluation. The training was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Warunggunung involving teachers and students as participants. The training method applied is learning by doing, which includes material presentation, hands-on practice in creating simple projects using Scratch, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test to measure participants’ improvement in understanding. The expected results of this activity are an increase in students’ understanding of basic programming concepts, improvement in computational thinking skills, and enhancement of 21st-century skills such as creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. In addition, this activity is expected to contribute to the development of technology-based learning in schools and support the creation of a better digital literacy ecosystem within the school environment.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to strengthen the synergy between the Kalurahan Consultative Body (Bamuskal) and the Petir Village Government in realizing good village governance based on community participation. The synergy between these two institutions is an essential factor in creating village governance that is transparent, accountable, participatory, and responsive to community needs. Several problems identified at the village level include limited institutional harmonization, weak communication between institutions, and the suboptimal involvement of the community in village development planning and supervision processes. The implementation methods of this community service program included socialization activities, participatory discussion forums, institutional assistance, and capacity building for village government officials and Bamuskal members. The activities were carried out using a participatory approach through interactive lectures, case studies, and joint deliberation sessions to develop a common understanding regarding the functions, duties, and partnership patterns between Bamuskal and the Petir Village Government. The evaluation process was conducted through observation of participant involvement, reflective discussions, and identification of changes in participants’ understanding before and after the program. The results of the program showed an improvement in participants’ understanding of the importance of institutional synergy in village governance implementation. In addition, a shared commitment was established between Bamuskal and the Kalurahan Government to improve coordination, transparency, and community participation in village policymaking. Strengthening this synergy serves as an important foundation for supporting democratic, innovative, and sustainable village governance. Therefore, this community service activity contributes to enhancing village institutional capacity in realizing community participation-based good village governance.

Abstract

Plantation communities in rural Indonesia, particularly in Pangalengan Village of Bandung Regency, predominantly rely on conventional sales channels such as direct transactions with middlemen, which result in uncompetitive pricing and limited market access. Although most farmers already own smartphones and use WhatsApp daily, low digital literacy prevents them from utilizing these tools for business development. This community service activity aimed to enhance the digital business capacity of village plantation farmers through hands-on training on WhatsApp Business and online marketplaces. The implementation method comprised four stages: needs analysis, socialization (Day 1), practical training (Day 2), and evaluation. Fifty participants from Pangalengan Village joined the two-day training program. Results indicate substantial improvement in participants’ digital literacy: 92% successfully created active WhatsApp Business accounts with product catalogs, and 76% uploaded at least one product to Tokopedia or Shopee. The average pre-test score rose from 34 to 81 (out of 100) on the post-test. The activity successfully shifted participants’ marketing approach from traditional to digital, expanding market access and reducing dependence on middlemen.

Abstract

Low self-esteem in elementary school students may affect confidence, classroom participation, and social interaction during the learning process. This community service program aimed to improve the self-esteem of fourth-grade students at SDN Maleber through psychoeducation and interactive activities. The program was conducted over three days involving 22 students. The implementation stages included initial observation, pre-test administration, psychoeducation sessions, group games, positive affirmation activities, self-reflection, interactive discussions, and post-test evaluation using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The instrument demonstrated good reliability with a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.784. Descriptive analysis showed an increase in the average self-esteem score from 25.32 before the intervention to 28.55 after the intervention. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test showed a significant increase in students’ self-esteem after participating in the program (p = 0.004). In addition, students appeared more confident, active, and willing to express their opinions during classroom activities. These findings indicate that psychoeducation and participatory activities can positively support the development of self-esteem among elementary school students.

Abstract

Low numeracy skills among elementary school students pose a significant challenge for academic readiness, particularly in facing the Academic Competency Test (TKA) scheduled for 2026. This community service program aimed to improve literacy and numeracy skills of sixth-grade students at SDN Ciherang 02, Pacet District, Cianjur Regency through a game-based learning approach. Prior to implementation, the mean Mathematics score was 43.52 and Indonesian language score was 67.00. The program was implemented over 8 days through seven interactive activities, involving 27 sixth-grade students as participants. Academic competency was measured using TKA-format test items consisting of 30 Indonesian language and 20 Mathematics multiple-choice items, administered as pre-test and post-test. Data were analyzed using Paired Samples t-test after normality was confirmed via Shapiro-Wilk test. Results showed that Mathematics scores improved significantly from 43.52 to 56.11 (t = -4.301, p < 0.001, d = -0.828), while Indonesian language scores showed a non-significant improvement from 67.00 to 68.70 (t = -0.870, p = 0.392, d = -0.167). Interview findings revealed that students found TKA-format reading items challenging due to limited daily reading habits. This program is recommended as a replicable school-based game-based learning model for TKA preparation.

Abstract

Indonesian migrant workers abroad are vulnerable to emotional stress, anxiety, and difficulties in social and cultural adaptation, which can affect their psychological well-being. This community service activity aims to introduce Resource Therapy (RT) as a psychological approach to help participants recognize and utilize their internal resources in dealing with personal problems. The program was conducted at the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia (KJRI) in Penang, Malaysia, involving 36 participants comprising 30 Indonesian migrant workers and 6 KJRI staff members. The methods used included participatory psychoeducation, interactive discussions, self-reflection exercises, and practice in identifying positive psychological resources. Evaluation was conducted through participant engagement observation, reflective discussions, and post-activity feedback focusing on emotional awareness, self-reflection, and perceived usefulness of the intervention. The results showed that participants understood the basic concepts of Resource Therapy and could identify internal resources to cope with personal and emotional problems. This program has the potential to become a culturally relevant, community-based psychoeducational service model that can be replicated in Indonesian migrant worker communities in other countries.
