Abstract

Digital transformation in education requires a deep understanding of teacher readiness, infrastructure availability, and pedagogical needs. This study employs a service-learning approach to conduct a needs analysis for the development of a digital classroom at MTs Rambatan. The study involved 15 teachers who completed a 13-item online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency distributions to identify teachers’ perceptions, readiness, and infrastructural conditions related to digital classroom implementation. Findings indicate strong recognition of the need for innovation, with 100% of teachers agreeing that innovation is necessary and 53% perceiving the current learning environment as inadequate. Teachers showed high optimism about digital classrooms, with 100% agreeing that they can improve learning interest and outcomes. Readiness levels were equally promising, as 60% reported being ready and 40% very ready to adopt digital classrooms; 100% also expressed the need for further training. However, ICT infrastructure remains insufficient: 40% rated device availability as inadequate, and only 7% considered it very adequate. Teachers at MTs Rambatan exhibit strong motivation, readiness, and awareness regarding digital classroom development. However, inadequate ICT infrastructure poses a major challenge that requires institutional support and strategic investment. Future research should expand the scope of participants and examine the effectiveness of digital classroom implementation through longitudinal and experimental methods.

Abstract

This community service initiative responds to the pressing issues faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nagrak Sub-district, Sukabumi Regency, particularly in strengthening business formalization, halal assurance, and global market preparedness through the UMKM Juara (Champion MSMEs) program. Using a participatory action research framework, the program engaged 45 MSME actors representing five key sectors namely food processing, beverages, traditional snacks, handicrafts, and cosmetics. The activities unfolded through four interconnected phases needs assessment, training and public outreach, individualized mentoring, and continuous monitoring and evaluation carried out over a six-month period from May to October 2024. The program recorded substantial, quantifiable progress. A total of 38 MSMEs (84.4%) successfully secured their Business Identification Numbers (NIB) via the Online Single Submission system, marking a decisive transition from informal to formal business practice. In parallel, 32 participants (71.1%) submitted complete halal certification dossiers, and 18 of them had already obtained provisional certificates by the end of the program. Knowledge assessments further showed a significant leap in understanding, with average scores rising from 48.3% to 82.7%, reflecting a 71.2% improvement across all training modules. The food processing sector achieved the highest rate of halal certification submissions at 94.4%, while handicrafts and cosmetics encountered greater obstacles due to more intricate material-tracing processes. The integrated strategy combining regulatory compliance assistance, certification facilitation, and holistic capacity building proved effective in dismantling multiple developmental constraints simultaneously. Nevertheless, sustained advancement toward genuine global competitiveness will require long-term reinforcement, particularly in post-certification market access, international buyer networking, and ongoing product innovation support.

Abstract

Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) remains the infectious disease with the highest mortality rate in Sumenep Regency, while the discovery of new cases at Pamolokan Health Center in 2025 reached only 52.6% of the national target of 90%. One key factor is the limited capacity of Posyandu cadres, who serve as the frontline in community-based health services, particularly in conducting close contact tracing. Strengthening their competence is essential to improve early TB case detection and reduce household transmission. This community service program applied a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach consisting of preparation, training, field mentoring, and evaluation. Twenty-five Posyandu cadres participated in interactive lectures, group discussions, case-based simulations, and on-the-job mentoring. Knowledge improvement was measured using pre-tests and post-tests, while skills were assessed through direct observation checklists during simulated and real field visits. The program significantly increased cadres’ knowledge, with average scores rising from 55.6% (pre-test) to 86.4% (post-test). The greatest improvement occurred in understanding close contact criteria (45%) and reporting procedures (40%). Skills also improved, with 92% of cadres demonstrating confident and structured communication during field visits and 88% successfully completing contact tracing forms accurately. Over three weeks of mentoring, cadres identified 42 close contacts from 15 TB patient households, with 38 (90.5%) agreeing to undergo examination at the health center. The combination of interactive training and on-the-job mentoring proved effective in strengthening cadres’ knowledge and practical abilities. Their social proximity to families helped reduce stigma-related barriers and improved cooperation during home visits. This approach also promoted sustainability, as cadres gained confidence to continue tracing activities with minimal supervision.

Abstract

Village fund allocations in Indonesia continue to increase each year, requiring village governments to strengthen their financial reporting capacity. Kurungkambing Village in Pandeglang Regency still faced difficulties in preparing accurate digital financial reports, particularly due to limited digital literacy and unfamiliarity with the Podkeds system. This community service program was designed to enhance the competencies of village officials in using Podkeds for transparent and accountable financial management. The program used a participatory training model consisting of needs assessment, workshops, hands-on practice, simulations using real financial data, mentoring sessions, and post-training evaluation. Participants included the village head, treasurer, administrative staff, and planning officers. Data were collected through observation, pre–post assessments, and documentation of Podkeds reporting outputs. The program improved participants’ technical competence in key Podkeds functions, such as data input, transaction recording, budget realization reporting, and monthly financial report generation. More than 80 percent of participants demonstrated increased mastery after mentoring. The use of Podkeds also reduced manual errors and shortened reporting time, supporting higher transparency and accountability in village finance. Findings indicate that digital training combined with guided mentoring can significantly enhance village financial governance. The improvement in digital skills and reporting accuracy reflects the importance of structured capacity-building programs for rural financial management. However, stable internet access and device availability remain challenges for sustainability. The Podkeds training program successfully strengthened the financial reporting skills of Kurungkambing Village officials. Continued technical assistance and infrastructure support are needed to maintain and expand the digitalization of village financial management.

Abstract

This community service program was designed to introduce an innovative student-led KKN model that integrates anti-bullying education, social-values reinforcement, and microenterprise (UMKM) digital empowerment in Durung 2 Village, Medan Marelan. The program responds to persistent challenges in child protection, community cohesion, and the limited digital readiness of micro-entrepreneurs. The intervention was implemented over ten days and involved elementary-school children, UMKM owners, community leaders, and student volunteers. Activities included anti-bullying awareness sessions, 5S social-value campaigns, basic literacy tutoring, morning exercise and community clean-up, UMKM mentoring on branding and packaging, HPP calculation training, and the introduction of QRIS digital payments. Data were collected through observation, attendance records, participant feedback, and the official KKN field report, then analyzed descriptively to identify outputs and challenges. The student-led KKN successfully implemented all planned activities and achieved immediate improvements in children's understanding of bullying, strengthened community interaction, and enhanced UMKM identity through new logos, packaging recommendations, and basic digital-payment adoption. Some UMKM participants demonstrated increased interest in branding and more accurate cost calculations. However, limited time, low digital literacy, inadequate tools, and capital constraints presented notable challenges. The integration of play-based anti-bullying education aligns with prior evidence that interactive pedagogies increase empathy and reduce aggressive behaviors. Likewise, the provision of branding assistance and QRIS introduction supports broader national efforts to digitize UMKM operations.

Abstract

Adolescents often experience uncertainty and discomfort when discussing puberty due to limited knowledge, social stigma, and the lack of safe learning environments. Interactive visual media offers potential to simplify complex biological concepts while encouraging open communication. This community service program aimed to enhance adolescents’ understanding of puberty and their confidence in discussing related topics through an engaging, interactive educational intervention. The program employed a participatory pretest–posttest design involving 14 adolescents aged 12–15 years. Activities included visual flash cards, scenario discussions, group-based learning tasks, and reflection sessions. A structured questionnaire measured knowledge and confidence before and after the intervention. Quantitative data (pretest–posttest scores and N-gain) were analyzed descriptively, while qualitative observations captured behavioral and communicative changes during sessions. Findings showed a substantial improvement in puberty knowledge, with mean scores increasing from 66.71 to 108.42 and an N-gain of 0.50. Observational data also indicated enhanced confidence, greater willingness to speak, improved peer interaction, and reduced hesitation when discussing sensitive issues. Participants reported feeling more supported and emotionally prepared to understand puberty-related changes. The integration of visual-interactive media supported cognitive processing in line with multimedia learning theories, while collaborative activities aligned with social constructivist principles. The safe learning environment created by facilitators also helped reduce emotional barriers, consistent with adolescent psychosocial development literature. These factors collectively strengthened both cognitive and psychosocial outcomes. Interactive visual media effectively improved adolescents’ understanding and confidence regarding puberty.
