Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Posyandu cadres in reducing malnutrition (stunting) among toddlers in Belawan Sicanang Village, Medan Belawan District. Thus, the research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were generated and obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study illustrate that Posyandu cadres are central actors in mobilizing the community to be aware and care about health, especially in the implementation of Posyandu. They are not only implementers of activities, but also motivators, educators, and role models in the community. The success of the Posyandu program depends heavily on the consistency, communication skills, and dedication of the cadres in establishing good relationships with residents. There are several factors supporting the role of cadres in community empowerment, including: social closeness of cadres with the community, collaboration with community health centers and community leaders, and the availability of communication media. There are several factors inhibiting the role of cadres in community empowerment, such as: low health literacy, limited access and geographical conditions, and limited roles due to social relationships.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of homeschooling management in supporting an inclusive learning environment at the Think Indonesia School Community Learning Center (PKBM) in Sidoarjo. The focus of the study covers the functions of planning, organizing, implementing, and controlling management. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, collecting data through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of students, parents, and mentors. The results show that the implementation of homeschooling management at the Think Indonesia School Community Learning Center (PKBM) is effective in creating an inclusive learning environment. Planning is carried out comprehensively through an in-depth initial assessment, including mapping individual potential using the STIFIn instrument, as well as the development of an adaptive curriculum centered on the needs of students. The organization is characterized by a streamlined, functional, and hierarchical structure, with a clear division of tasks to support program specialization. The implementation of learning adopts a flexible hybrid system, with an emphasis on building psychological comfort, a personal approach by mentors, the use of participatory methods, and the integration of vocational skills programs. This approach successfully heals learning trauma, increases independence, and increases intrinsic motivation among students. Continuous control is carried out through monitoring, comprehensive evaluation (academic, psychological, and social), intensive communication with parents, and adaptive follow-up to ensure quality services and individual development. Harmonizing these four management functions has successfully created an alternative educational ecosystem that focuses not only on academic achievement but also on the psychological well-being and optimization of students' potential.

Abstract

Adolescents who have dropped out of school face various challenges in their identity development that can affect their self-confidence, social relationships, and ability to reintegrate into society. This situation not only results in the interruption of formal education but also triggers identity crises, social stigma, and obstacles to social reintegration. Non-formal education provided through Community Learning Centers (CLC) offers a "second chance" for these adolescents to continue their education while rebuilding their identities and social roles. This study aims to: (1) understand the experiences of school dropouts in facing identity formation challenges; (2) uncover the meaning they attach to their experiences in non-formal education at CLC Suka Mandiri; and (3) describe the social reintegration process experienced by these adolescents after participating in the program. A qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving eight adolescents who had dropped out of school and were attending CLC Suka Mandiri in Lamongan Regency. The findings reveal that these adolescents face identity-related challenges such as the loss of student status, social stigma, diminished self-confidence, and uncertainty about the future driven by familial, social, and personal factors. Their experience at the CLC is perceived as an opportunity to gain social acceptance, develop skills, rebuild self-confidence, and find new hope for the future. This process fosters identity reconstruction, characterized by increased self-belief, a commitment to pursuing further education or employment, and greater participation within their families and communities.   Keywords: Adolescent identity, school dropouts, non-formal education, CLC, social reintegration, phenomenology, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).
