Abstract

Teachers’ quality of work life (QWL) plays a significant role in sustaining instructional effectiveness, particularly in international school settings characterized by multicultural dynamics and complex institutional demands. This study explored teachers’ perceptions of quality of work life following the implementation of a job crafting training program at Sekolah Indonesia Johor Bahru (SIJB), Malaysia. The intervention was conducted using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involving 24 teachers and implemented through iterative cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, reflective worksheets, and group discussions, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed patterns consistent with the dimensions of task, relational, and cognitive crafting. Teachers described shifts toward more intentional instructional adaptation, enhanced professional collaboration, and a reframing of work meaning and professional identity. These perceived changes suggest that job crafting functioned as a reflective framework enabling teachers to reinterpret and reorganize existing responsibilities within a multicultural educational environment. The participatory structure of the intervention appeared to strengthen teachers’ sense of agency and contextual relevance. However, the findings reflect short-term interpretive experiences and do not establish long-term behavioral sustainability. This study contributes contextually grounded insights into how job crafting, when embedded within a participatory framework, may support teachers’ perceived quality of work life in international school contexts.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to strengthen the quality and competitiveness of local organic fertilizer in Lumajang through farmer assistance and educational activities. The main problem faced by P4S Asri Farm Kedungrejo was the high rate of farmers shifting to fertilizer products from Banyuwangi, which were considered more effective in increasing crop yields. The program involved 30 farmers from the assisted farmer group of P4S Asri Farm Kedungrejo. The activities were implemented using a participatory approach through five stages: initial survey, focus group discussion and SWOT analysis, training on improving the quality of locally based organic fertilizer production, assistance in packaging innovation and community-based promotion, and monitoring and evaluation. The results showed a 40% increase in farmers’ understanding of the advantages of local organic fertilizer based on pre-test and post-test results. Farmers’ confidence in local fertilizer also increased, followed by a rise in the use of local fertilizer from 35% to 55% within one planting season. The program also produced practical outputs, including a 30-page training module, improved product packaging, and the establishment of a farmer-based promotion team. These findings indicate that participatory and field-based assistance can strengthen farmers’ trust and encourage the gradual adoption of local organic fertilizer, thereby supporting agricultural sustainability and local farming resilience in Lumajang.

Abstract

Student MSMEs often face economic vulnerability due to intuitive and unmeasured decision-making, particularly in setting selling prices that are both competitive and profitable in a price-sensitive market. This community service program aimed to strengthen the managerial capacity and data literacy of 30 student entrepreneurs at UIN Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi through spreadsheet-based regression analysis as an appropriate technology. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach through intensive training, hands-on mentoring using participants’ actual business data, and impact evaluation. The results showed a 110.1% increase in participants’ analytical competence after the intervention. Participants were able to move from intuition-based pricing toward more systematic and data-driven pricing decisions. In addition, the program encouraged more consistent sales data recording and improved participants’ ability to evaluate pricing alternatives based on demand patterns. This program contributed not only to strengthening technical and managerial skills but also to supporting the economic independence and business sustainability of student MSMEs.

Abstract

Assessment of student learning outcomes in elementary schools is still largely conducted manually, which is time-consuming and increases teachers’ administrative workload. This condition was also found at SDN 58 Lubuklinggau, where teachers had not yet optimally used digital technology to correct students’ answer sheets. This community service program aimed to improve teachers’ knowledge and skills in conducting automatic answer corrections using the EvalBee application based on Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) technology. The program was implemented through socialization, material presentation, hands-on practice, and technical assistance involving 15 teachers. Evaluation was conducted using pretest and posttest questionnaires. The results showed an increase in teachers’ understanding and skills from 45.33% before training to 97.33% after training. Teachers were able to install the application, create answer sheets, scan students’ responses, and download the assessment results. EvalBee was also perceived to accelerate the correction process, improve assessment accuracy, and reduce teachers’ administrative workload. This program shows that practice-based training can serve as a model for strengthening teachers’ digital assessment literacy in elementary schools.

Abstract

Banyak bahasa daerah di Indonesia kini menghadapi ancaman kepunahan. Kondisi ini menunjukkan pentingnya upaya pelestarian yang dilakukan secara berkelanjutan agar bahasa-bahasa lokal tetap digunakan dan diwariskan. Bahasa Wolio, sebagai salah satu bahasa daerah di Sulawesi Tenggara, termasuk dalam kategori stabil tetapi terancam punah, sehingga memerlukan langkah pelestarian yang nyata. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran penutur Bahasa Wolio tentang pentingnya menjaga bahasa daerah, menumbuhkan minat generasi muda untuk memahami dan menggunakan Bahasa Wolio dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, meningkatkan literasi Bahasa Wolio pada masyarakat RT.01/RW.004 Kelurahan Wangkanapi, serta mendorong wilayah tersebut menjadi rintisan kawasan percontohan pelestarian Bahasa Wolio di Kota Baubau. Metode yang digunakan meliputi kegiatan sosialisasi kepada masyarakat dan implementasi produk pembelajaran kepada peserta usia sekolah. Produk yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini berupa kamus bergambar tiga bahasa (Wolio–Inggris–Indonesia) dan flashcard kosakata empat bahasa (Wolio–Inggris–Indonesia–Latin). Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat menyadari semakin berkurangnya penggunaan Bahasa Wolio di lingkungan mereka, sementara produk pembelajaran yang dikembangkan dapat digunakan sebagai media pendukung pengenalan Bahasa Wolio kepada generasi usia sekolah. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan berbasis literasi dan media pembelajaran dapat menjadi langkah awal dalam mendukung pelestarian Bahasa Wolio sekaligus memperkuat identitas budaya lokal di Kota Baubau.

Abstract

Lecturers play a central role in higher education through teaching, research, community service, and administrative responsibilities. These multiple roles often increase mental workload and require lecturers to adapt to organizational changes, which may affect their well-being. This community service program aims to improve lecturers’ capacity to manage work pressure, respond to organizational changes, and strengthen workplace well-being. The program involved 54 lecturers at Universitas Negeri Surabaya and employed an educational-participatory approach through a workshop on mental workload and change management. The evaluation used adapted scales of occupational well-being, perceived organizational change, and trust in colleagues, supported by pre-test and post-test measurements. The results showed positive changes across the measured indicators. Scores for self-management increased from 3.3 to 4.7, changed management from 3.4 to 4.6, and well-being from 3.5 to 4.3. In addition, participants’ understanding of the material reached an average score of 4.8 out of 5.0, with satisfaction at 4.5 and perceived importance of the program at 4.7. These findings indicate that the workshop contributed positively to improving lecturers’ readiness to manage mental workload and organizational change. The program implies that universities need to provide continuous support for lecturers’ well-being through relevant and contextual capacity-building initiatives.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve the pedagogical competence of MAN 1 Sleman teachers through training in developing Theasys-based learning media. The program involved 45 teachers and was implemented through active participation, activity-oriented, program-based, and independent learning approaches. The evaluation instrument was a questionnaire consisting of 20 items distributed across five indicators: understanding of learning media, understanding of software, understanding of Theasys features, ability to create Theasys-based learning media, and ability to integrate the media into classroom learning. The data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis by comparing participants’ understanding before and after the training. The results showed that the average level of participants’ understanding increased from 2.4% before the training to 90.4% after the training. The highest improvement was found in the ability to create Theasys-based learning media, which increased from 2% to 98%. In addition, 92% of participants stated that the training was highly beneficial for developing learning media, and the attendance rate of ≥85% indicated active participation throughout the program. These findings suggest that Theasys-based training can support teachers in developing interactive visual learning media according to subject-specific needs.

Abstract

Vocational high school students are expected to possess not only technical competencies but also communication skills, digital literacy, and the ability to build professional self-presentation in the digital era. However, students at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Yogyakarta still faced limitations in public speaking, digital marketing literacy, and the productive use of social media for personal branding. This community service program aims to improve students’ public speaking skills, digital marketing understanding, and personal branding awareness. The program involved 33 students from grades X and XI and was implemented through observation, interactive workshops, practice, simulation, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test instruments. The evaluation consisted of 14 questions, covering seven items on digital marketing and seven items on public speaking. The results showed that the training improved students’ understanding across several indicators, particularly in digital marketing objectives, digital marketing actors, and public speaking concepts, as reflected in the pre-test and post-test evaluation. The program indicates that integrating public speaking and digital marketing training can support students’ personal branding and enhance their readiness to compete in the digital workforce.

Abstract

Environmental sustainability is a shared responsibility of environmental activists, academics, and communities in managing natural resources responsibly. This community engagement initiative aims to introduce a community-based approach through the Morino Office green community model so that environmental activists and communities can work together to safeguard environmental sustainability. This activity employed a participatory and needs-based approach and was carried out at Morino Office, located in Fujimi, Japan. The participants consisted of five Morino Office staff members, three academics, and ten environmental activists. The results show that Morino Office, as an environmentally friendly workspace, supports both economic and ecological functions within urban and rural communities. The Morino Office green community model integrates sustainable lifestyles, village revitalisation, community participation, and circular economy principles in mountainous areas. Therefore, this community-based approach can serve as a practical concept for strengthening environmental sustainability. The implication of this activity is that green community development can bridge urban and rural communities in protecting the environment through environmentally friendly workspaces.

Abstract

Many tofu producers in Badas Village still rely on habitual production practices and do not yet have a written standard operating procedure (SOP), which may lead to inconsistent work processes and weak quality control. This community service program aimed to improve the understanding and capacity of tofu producers in preparing a production SOP for tofu agroindustry in Badas Village, Badas District, Kediri Regency. The program was conducted from January to March 2026 with around 30 participants using a participatory approach through preparation, socialization, training, mentoring, and evaluation. The evaluation was conducted by comparing participants’ understanding scores before and after the activity as an internal program indicator, supported by field observations, discussion notes, and activity documentation. The results showed that the partners initially had no written production SOP, work stages varied among workers, and simple quality control had not been implemented systematically. Through this program, an applicable production SOP draft was developed as a shared work guideline, and participants’ understanding score increased from 60 to 85. Overall, this activity produced an applicable production SOP draft, strengthened partners’ understanding of process standardization, and provided an initial basis for improving hygiene and sanitation, production recording, and household food licensing readiness.
