Abstract

This community-based development initiative focused on empowering local Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) in Cihanyawar Village through collaborative strategies targeting three key areas namely packaging improvement, marketing enhancement, and halal certification facilitation. Employing a community-based research (CBR) framework, the program engaged 25 UMKM units spanning food processing, handicrafts, and agricultural products over a six-month intervention period. The initiative involved participatory training sessions, hands-on technical assistance, and sustained mentoring designed and implemented in collaboration with local stakeholders. Mixed-methods evaluation, including structured surveys, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations, was conducted to assess outcomes before and after the intervention. Findings indicate substantial progress across all focus areas. Average packaging quality scores improved from 1.8 to 4.1 (127.8% increase), social media adoption reached 84%, and marketing channel diversity expanded by 240%. Halal certification efforts led to a 52% success rate among participating businesses. These outcomes translated into meaningful economic impact, with average monthly revenue rising by 56.6% and customer reach growing by 111.9%. Statistical analysis confirmed the program’s effectiveness (p < 0.001) across key performance indicators. The collaborative and integrated nature of the intervention generated synergistic effects, demonstrating the value of localized, community-based empowerment approaches in strengthening rural UMKM resilience and competitiveness.

Abstract

This community service initiative was designed to improve rice farmers’ livelihoods through a participatory support program involving seed distribution and collaborative agricultural assistance with the Regional Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) in Cihanyawar Village. The program integrated the strengths of academic institutions and local agricultural agencies to deliver targeted support aimed at increasing productivity and income. Using a participatory action research approach, the six-month program engaged 50 farmers through four key phases: preparation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. Three superior rice varieties IR64, Ciherang, and Inpari-32, were distributed, accompanied by intensive training in modern cultivation techniques, integrated pest management, and sustainable farming practices. The initiative led to a 61.9% increase in rice yield, from 4.2 to 6.8 tons per hectare, with Inpari-32 performing the highest at 7.2 tons per hectare. Economically, farmers’ gross income rose by 55.3%, from IDR 8.5 million to IDR 13.2 million per hectare per season, with a benefit-cost ratio of 6.27. Knowledge transfer was also effective, as farmers’ mastery of modern practices improved from 23% to 87%. Notably, 78% of participating farmers expressed commitment to continue the improved practices. The success of this collaborative model underscores the potential of participatory and institutional synergy in promoting sustainable improvements in farmers’ livelihoods. This model can serve as a practical reference for future agricultural development programs in similar rural contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates how the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach can be employed to enhance learning motivation in a tahfidz program at TPA Al-Hikmah Centre Buluh Kasok, a rural-based Qur’anic education center in Indonesia. The study adopts a qualitative case study design involving participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with tahfidz instructors, students, and parents, as well as document analysis. The research focuses on identifying community assets and examining their influence on students’ motivation to memorize the Qur’an. Data were analyzed using thematic coding within the framework of ABCD and motivational learning theories. Findings reveal that the ABCD approach significantly supports Qur’anic learning motivation through three pathways: (1) mobilization of local social and spiritual assets, including parental involvement and religious role models; (2) creation of a collaborative peer-based learning atmosphere; and (3) cultural and emotional reinforcement through communal rituals and recognition. Students who were embedded in these asset-driven learning environments demonstrated higher persistence, stronger memorization consistency, and more positive emotional engagement. These findings confirm that learning motivation in tahfidz education is influenced not merely by curriculum design or teacher-centered instruction but by the activation of communal and cultural capital. The study supports existing theories of intrinsic motivation and the social nature of learning, while also contributing to the limited literature on ABCD in Islamic educational contexts. Future research should expand this inquiry through longitudinal and comparative studies across diverse educational settings to better understand how community-driven strategies can be institutionalized in Qur’anic pedagogy.

Abstract

This community engagement initiative was designed to support the professional growth of primary school teachers through a focused training on implementing deep learning strategies. The training was held at the Barru District Education Office on July 21–22, 2025, and was a collaborative effort between the office and lecturers from Universitas Negeri Makassar. Primary school teachers from across the Barru Regency participated actively in the program. The training covered three essential topics: (1) Growth Mindset in Deep Learning, (2) the Deep Learning Framework, and (3) Principles and Learning Experiences in Deep Learning. The program was carried out in three main stages: preparation, implementation, and reflection. During the preparation phase, materials, logistics, and technical tools were organized. Over two days of implementation, participants engaged in interactive discussions, collaborative sessions, and practical exercises. In the reflection phase, teachers developed follow-up plans tailored to the needs and context of their respective schools. The program helped deepen teachers’ understanding of deep learning approaches and encouraged more student-centered, reflective classroom practices. It is hoped that this training will contribute to long-term improvements in teaching quality and student engagement in Barru’s primary schools.

Abstract

Self-confidence plays a vital role in children’s psychological development and influences their academic, social, and emotional achievements. However, many elementary school students struggle with low self-confidence, which can hinder their learning motivation and personal growth. This community service program was conducted at UPTD SD Negeri 5 Parepare to enhance students’ self-confidence through a social-educational intervention. The program was designed with three stages: preparation, implementation, and reflection. Activities included interactive and reflective learning experiences adapted to the students’ developmental levels. The materials addressed self-awareness, setting realistic goals, positive self-talk, stepping out of the comfort zone, maintaining appearance, building positive social environments, and learning from experiences. The implementation revealed significant improvements in students’ engagement, self-expression, and self-awareness. Pre- and post-activity reflections indicated that students became more confident in participating, expressing ideas, and interacting with peers. The findings suggest that integrating social and educational strategies into character education can effectively foster self-confidence among elementary students. This program demonstrates the potential of social-educational interventions to strengthen personal growth and learning motivation in young learners.

Abstract

Financial literacy is a crucial competence in strengthening family financial planning and investment awareness. This community service program, Ngobrol Pintar (NGOPI), was initiated by Universitas Terbuka Medan in collaboration with Dharma Wanita Persatuan to address the need for accessible financial education in society. The program was implemented through an interactive seminar with 117 participants consisting of parents and children. The dialogue-based approach focused on gold investment as a practical entry point for understanding financial literacy. The seminar achieved active engagement from participants and increased awareness of financial management within the family context. Participants reported improved understanding of saving and investing practices, particularly related to gold as a long-term investment instrument. The findings indicate that financial literacy training through dialogue can effectively empower communities. Beyond a one-time session, the NGOPI initiative promotes sustainability by developing community-based financial literacy hubs, producing digital learning resources, and establishing partnerships with financial institutions and regulatory bodies. This approach positions financial literacy as an ongoing dialogue to build a culture of investment awareness and foster long-term financial resilience.

Abstract

Business sustainability requires not only the provision of products and facilities but also effective marketing activities and structured financial management. However, problem identification revealed that marketing practices in the glamping business remain conventional, relying solely on existing customers without targeting specific markets, while financial reporting is still unstructured. This community service program was conducted in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The activities included training and mentoring on financial management, financial report preparation, and marketing strategies for glamping managers. The training improved participants’ ability to prepare financial reports, starting from recording transactions to producing structured financial statements. In addition, participants gained a better understanding of marketing program strategies, particularly in identifying and managing target markets. Evaluation results indicated an 89% increase in participants’ understanding of both financial management and marketing practices. The program contributed significantly to enhancing the managerial capacity of glamping businesses, particularly in marketing and financial management. These improvements are expected to support long-term business performance and sustainability.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve the writing skills of elementary school teachers in Klaten, Central Java, Indonesia. The training emphasized that writing is not merely arranging words, but also a process of conveying ideas, fostering understanding, and creating influence. The activity was conducted online (asynchronously) due to unfavorable weather conditions and the request of participants and partners. The training involved 25 participants and was implemented over two months, from February to March 2025. Each session was held every Sunday for 120 minutes. Learning materials were delivered through online lectures, practice exercises, and assignments. The program was implemented smoothly and in an orderly manner. Participants actively engaged in the sessions and completed all assignments. Evaluation results showed that all participants achieved satisfactory scores, reflecting an improvement in their understanding of writing skills. The online writing skills training successfully enhanced the competence of elementary school teachers in Klaten. Future programs may consider expanding participation beyond Klaten to reach a wider audience in need of writing skill development.

Abstract

This study aimed to apply the economic values of Prophet Muhammad to strengthen community empowerment through the Islamic financial system. The program emphasized ethical financial literacy, interest-free microfinance, and the integration of Zakat and Sadaqah into productive use as a means to achieve social justice and sustainable development. A participatory action research approach was implemented in a Muslim rural community. Activities included workshops on Islamic economic ethics, the establishment of a Qard Hasan (interest-free loan) fund, and coordination of Zakat and Sadaqah distribution for small business support. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions with community members and leaders. Three main findings emerged. (1) Islamic financial literacy and ethical awareness significantly improved, leading to behavioral transformation in financial practices. (2) The Qard Hasan fund effectively supported local microenterprises and achieved a repayment rate above 90%, creating a sustainable cycle of empowerment. (3) The integration of charitable funds for productive purposes enhanced social solidarity, trust, and cooperation within the community. The findings reveal that the practical application of Prophetic economic values can bridge moral principles with real economic empowerment. However, challenges included limited institutional partnerships and short observation periods. These limitations suggest the need for broader implementation and longer-term evaluation. Implementing Islamic financial ethics through community-based mechanisms provides an effective framework for social transformation and inclusive development. Future research should explore long-term impacts, digital financial applications, and cross-community comparisons to strengthen the global relevance of Prophetic economic models.

Abstract

This community service initiative aims to enhance the university’s Volleyball Student Activity Unit (UKM) through a collaborative coaching model involving sports lecturers and talented student athletes. The program was developed in response to the limited participation and low performance levels of collegiate sports particularly volleyball stemming from the scarcity of qualified coaches, structured training programs, and adequate practice facilities. The implementation adopts a participatory approach, beginning with an assessment of UKM needs, followed by training sessions on game strategies and tactics, improvement of fundamental physical and technical skills, and strengthening of UKM organisational management. Coaching activities are jointly conducted by sports lecturers and highly motivated students with strong volleyball capabilities. Evaluation is carried out through observations of technical skills, member engagement, and internal tournament results held after the coaching program. The findings indicate significant progress in student discipline, teamwork, and essential volleyball techniques such as serving, passing, smashing, and blocking. Additionally, UKM has experienced an increase in membership across faculties and the emergence of a more dynamic and sustainable organisational structure. Beyond improving student performance, this program contributes to shaping a replicable coaching model and reinforces a positive sports culture within the university. Overall, the development of the Volleyball UKM through the collaboration of sports lecturers and talented students has successfully fostered a competitive, productive, and sustainability-oriented sports ecosystem.
