Abstract

The Workshop on Utilizing Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) for Tea and Soap for PKK (PKK is a community organization aimed at empowering women and participating in the development of Indonesia's welfare). Members in the Pasirwangi Sub-District, Ujungberung District, Bandung City is part of the Community Service Learning (KKN) program conducted by students as a form of community service. This program aims to connect students with the local community through beneficial and practical activities, allowing them to apply the knowledge gained in college to everyday life. The activities included presentations on the making and benefits of lemongrass tea and soap, followed by demonstrations and the distribution of free lemongrass tea. The motivation from the Buruan Sae program and the habit of consuming herbal drinks made lemongrass products appealing to the community. After the workshop on lemongrass utilization, 80% of the PKK members expressed interest in making lemongrass tea or soap, based on post-test data showing their understanding of the plant's benefits. The results of this training are expected to positively impact and foster a sense of independence and creativity within the community, supporting their welfare through local products.

Abstract

Biotechnology is one of the concepts taught in science learning which is complex and dynamic and has a relationship between the application of science and technology. The application of biotechnology is very beneficial in various aspects of life. The importance of applying biotechnology in life encourages schools to provide learning platforms for students to learn about biotechnology processing properly. However there are still issues with biotechnology processing at partner schools. Specifically, they still don't know how to properly create basic biotechnology learning supplements or process biotechnology products. This inspired the UNNES Postgraduate School service team to assist with training in the creation of basic biotechnology goods at the Al-Hidayah Waqaf Foundation in Hatyai, Thailand, as an addition to instructional resources. This training aims to provide training in making simple biotechnology products so that they can improve educators' skills in packaging supplements for simple biotechnology teaching materials as well as identifying the benefits of apple and pineapple vinegar as well as training skills in making apple and pineapple vinegar correctly. The training method was implemented by providing tools and materials, presenting the material, and providing assistance in the practice of making apple and pineapple vinegar biotechnology. The training has been carried out well. The results of the training can help teachers prepare science learning that is contextual and has an entrepreneurial spirit.

Abstract

Community service was carried out to improve financial literacy and entrepreneurial spirit in participants, namely Indonesian migrant workers in Taiwan. The implementation of this activity was attended by 20 participants and took place at the Indonesian Trade and Economic Office in Taipei, Taiwan. The problem experienced by partners was the lack of ability to plan finances while working as Indonesian workers in Taiwan, so that when they retire there was no business or business to manage. Usually Indonesian migrant workers send income while in Taiwan to their families in Indonesia as daily living expenses and to build a house. The program methods used in this activity include partner observation, preparation, training and evaluation. During the implementation, a questionnaire was distributed in the form of a google form. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in knowledge about financial management for Indonesian migrant workers reaching 85%, an increase in skills in making entrepreneurial plans by 80% and motivation to become entrepreneurs after returning from Taiwan by 95%.

Abstract

Research skills need to be possessed by students in the era of educational revolution 4.0 and society 5.0. The efforts that have been made to apply a scientific approach still have not maximized research skills for students. An independent curriculum with a new learning paradigm enables the achievement of student research skills and a research culture in schools can be realized. These skills should also be possessed by Indonesian students in other countries, including those at the Indonesian School of Davao (SID)-Philippines. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out dissemination regarding learning that can foster a research culture, through activities carried out together with teachers at SID. This step is a form of educational reform that can help teachers prepare their students to compete at the global level. A research culture can be realized through the application of the Differentiate Indirect Learning (Dif-In-Le) learning model with a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) approach. The agreed activity plan is training. However, because there was a restructuring of school principals, the activity was changed to a brainstorming with the Indonesian Consulate General in Davao attended by Filipino SID teachers.  The aim of this service activity is to identify the needs of SID teachers regarding innovative learning. An innovative learning model was introduced that can foster a research culture for students and schools, namely Dif-In-Le STEM approach. As a result of identifying needs, it was found that an introduction to Indonesian culture was needed for Indonesian children living in Davao, Philippines.

Abstract

Tugu Village in Demak Regency frequently experiences disasters such as coastal erosion and inundation due to tidal activities and the reclamation of Marina Beach in Semarang, which borders Sayung District. These conditions negatively impact the local economy, necessitating a solution to enhance food self-sufficiency. One approach taken is the cultivation of catfish in barrels (budikdamber) using an aquaponic system to grow water spinach, supported by the Internet of Things (IoT). The target audience for this community service activity is the women in Tugu Village affected by flooding. The program was implemented in five stages: observation and coordination, socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, and evaluation. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test instruments. Before the program, participants' understanding of aquaponic budikdamber was only 32.5%, but after the program, it increased sharply to 95%. Participants' understanding of pellet-making also saw a significant increase, from 10% before the program to 90% afterward. This data indicates that the program implementation successfully improved participants' understanding.
