Abstract

The elderly is the final phase in the human life cycle which is characterized by a decrease in body functions, such as weakness and balance disorders, which can increase the risk of falling and decrease independence. Therefore, promotive and preventive efforts through physical exercise are needed to maintain fitness and reduce the risk of falling. One of the exercises that has proven effective is the Square Stepping Exercise (SSE), which is a step pattern exercise from simple too complex to training postural and cognitive balance for the elderly. This community service program was carried out at the Ngudi Waras Elderly Posyandu, Senden, Tohudan, Colomadu, involving 30 elderly people aged 60-75 years. The activities carried out included counseling, demonstrations, SSE practices, and evaluation using dynamic balance test before and after interventions. The instruments used were in the form of participant characteristics forms and balance time test. Data analysis was carried out in a descriptive manner based on the BMI category due to the limited number of samples and activity design. Most participants were in the BMI category of overweight (13 people), followed by normal (11 people) and Underweight (6 People). The average time of the dynamic balance test showed improvement in all BMI categories after the implementation of SSE. These result show that SSE can improve the dynamic balance of the elderly without being affected by nutritional status. SSE is effective as a simple exercise that can be applied as a self-directed program at home to improve balance and contribute to the prevention of fall risk in the elderly.

Abstract

Teacher well-being is a crucial determinant of educational quality, yet many educators particularly those working abroad. They face challenges that compromise their physical and psychological health. This community engagement program (PKM) conducted by Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa) at Sekolah Indonesia Makkah (SIM), Saudi Arabia, aimed to enhance teacher wellness through integrated fitness and counselling training. Using a hybrid model that combined online lectures and offline practice, 23 teachers participated in structured physical exercise sessions, health education, and guidance and counselling workshops. Baseline assessments indicated that 78% of participants rarely engaged in exercise and 65% were dissatisfied with their physical condition. Post-intervention data revealed substantial improvements: 87% of teachers began exercising weekly, reported higher energy and motivation levels, and demonstrated greater awareness of wellness in teaching. Counselling competence also improved markedly, with 90% of participants able to apply preventive and developmental guidance strategies in classrooms. Qualitative feedback emphasized increased collegiality, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of community, culminating in the establishment of a Teacher Fitness Club as a sustainable outcome. The study concludes that integrating physical and psychological well-being training strengthens teachers’ professional capacity, fosters holistic education, and exemplifies the transformative role of universities in global community partnership.

Abstract

The community service program entitled Building Reflective Literacy for the Writer Community in East Java Schools through Book Review Activities and Kartini-Themed Poetry Workshops aims to improve reflective literacy and creative expression skills among educators and literacy practitioners. This program is motivated by the limited space for teachers and the writing community in schools to develop reflective literacy practices that integrate cultural values and gender awareness. The main purpose of this activity is to strengthen participants' understanding of Kartini's emancipation spirit through literary exploration, especially by associating historical reflection with the context of today's education. The implementation of the program includes two main activities: a book review of Kartini's Trilogy which presents authors and academic speakers, and a workshop on writing reflective poems inspired by Kartini's values of struggle. The methods used include participatory dialogue, collaborative learning, and creative writing practices, which allow participants to interact critically with the text while expressing personal reflection through literary works. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' awareness of gender equality issues, literary appreciation, and creative writing skills. In addition, this activity encourages collaboration between schools, teachers, students, and literacy communities in East Java, forming a sustainable network for future literacy development. The novelty of this program lies in the integration of cultural heritage, reflective pedagogy, and creative expression as a means of community empowerment. Overall, this activity shows that reflective literacy can be an effective forum to strengthen the value of education, cultural understanding, and social cohesion within the framework of sustainable community development.

Abstract

The Mandarin language corpus has become an essential resource for enhancing translator competence, particularly amid the growing industrial cooperation between Indonesia and China. The availability of technical vocabulary sources remains limited, creating a gap between academic proficiency and the demands of professional translation in industry. This community service program aims to develop an online corpus of Mandarin industrial vocabulary as an effort to provide standardized terminology resources based on authentic data. The implementation methods include mapping user needs, collecting vocabulary from 30 undergraduate theses and student internship reports from 2021–2024, developing the digital platform, and conducting training on its use. A total of 4,221 vocabulary items were compiled and integrated into the corpus, equipped with search features based on hanzi, pinyin, and definitions. The results show that the corpus platform improves the accuracy of technical document translation, accelerates terminology retrieval, and strengthens both thematic and instrumental competencies of translators. This digital corpus has proven effective in supporting translation needs in academic and industrial settings.

Abstract

This community engagement program addressed the need to strengthen the capacity of teachers at Pondok Pesantren Bumi Shalawat Sidoarjo to serve as internal TOEFL ITP trainers. The program was conducted from September to October 2025 and involved 15 teachers. It employed a participatory training and mentoring approach through needs analysis, pre-test, workshops on TOEFL ITP sections, item analysis practice, lesson-plan development, microteaching, post-test evaluation, and follow-up planning. The results indicated measurable improvement. Participants’ understanding of TOEFL ITP increased from 75% before the program to 100% after the program, while teaching readiness increased from 35% to 80%. The development of training products, including lesson plans, practice materials, and follow-up plans, also improved by 50%. These results show that the program strengthened teachers’ conceptual understanding, pedagogical readiness, and institutional capacity to initiate an internal TOEFL ITP training program. The novelty of the program lies in its train-the-trainer orientation, which focuses on empowering teachers as local facilitators rather than preparing them merely as test takers. Overall, the program contributed to teacher empowerment and provided a practical foundation for sustainable TOEFL ITP support in Islamic boarding school settings.

Abstract

This article reports a community service program conducted in Ketapanrame Tourism Village, Trawas District, Mojokerto Regency, focusing on the optimization of the village as an educational tourism space rooted in Pancasila values. The program responded to two interrelated needs: strengthening active tolerance amid social diversity and creating additional tourism value beyond natural attractions. The method consisted of situation analysis, problem identification, program socialization, coordination with village stakeholders and youth organizations, training, mentoring, focus group discussion, and participatory evaluation. The participants included youth, Karang Taruna members, village officials, and community leaders. The results indicate stronger youth awareness of mutual cooperation, civic literacy, moderation, digital promotion, and community-based tourism management. The activity also produced an initial concept for an educational tourism product, namely a civic literacy corner or nationalism cafe, to introduce Pancasila values, cultural diversity, and drug-free village awareness. The article argues that a Pancasila tourism village can serve as a community service model that integrates economic empowerment, character education, cultural preservation, and sustainable tourism. The results demonstrated two key outcomes: (1) enhanced participants' capacity in Pancasila values, active tolerance, civic literacy, digital promotion, and community-based tourism management; and (2) the development of a Pancasila-based educational tourism model, including a prototype Civic Literacy Corner, that integrates economic empowerment, character education, cultural preservation, and sustainable tourism.

Abstract

Juvenile delinquency is a social issue that continues to draw attention, particularly in Bandarharjo Subdistrict, where the community has raised concerns about fights, alcohol consumption, and drug distribution among adolescents. This study aims to encourage adolescents to practice self-control behaviors in order to prevent themselves from engaging in negative activities through non-training psychoeducation using interactive lectures and role play. The program involved 20 adolescents aged 12–15 years in RW 04 Bandarharjo Subdistrict. The results of this activity showed that participants were able to understand the consequences of juvenile delinquency and the importance of self-control in resolving conflicts without violence. Through role play, participants were also able to practice assertively refusing invitations to engage in delinquent behaviors such as fighting and smoking. This program contributes to the prevention of juvenile delinquency in Bandarharjo Subdistrict. Future studies are recommended to involve a larger number of participants and adopt more structured measurements, such as pre-tests and post-tests, to more accurately assess the program’s effectiveness.

Abstract

Beneficiaries (Penerima Manfaat or PM) at social rehabilitation centers encounter multifaceted psychosocial challenges, notably internalized stigma and diminished self-confidence, which hinder their social reintegration despite their vocational skills. Addressing this issue is imperative to avert the “revolving door” phenomenon, wherein beneficiaries return to the streets due to insufficient psychosocial preparedness. This Community Service initiative sought to enhance social resilience among beneficiaries at PPS PGOT Mardi Utomo Semarang through a structured psychoeducation intervention. The program employed a mixed-methods design, utilizing Focus Group Discussions (FGD) to assess baseline dynamics and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) in a pre-test/post-test design to measure changes following a session on self-efficacy, life purpose, and social support. Qualitative results indicated that while participants possessed knowledge of coping strategies, they were hindered by a lack of self-efficacy; meanwhile, quantitative findings showed no significant increase in resilience scores due to a 'ceiling effect' where 78.6% of participants already scored high at baseline. Consequently, the intervention successfully identified that the core barrier is not a lack of resilience knowledge but a deficit in the confidence to act. It is concluded that future community interventions must shift from knowledge-based psychoeducation to action-oriented programs that build mastery experiences to effectively support this population.

Abstract

Intercultural competence has become an essential skill for students in the era of globalization and international academic collaboration. According to Deardorff (2020), intercultural competence refers to the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately in intercultural situations based on knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This community engagement program aimed to enhance intercultural competence through cross-cultural understanding among Indonesian and Thai students. The program involved 50 participants consisting of 25 students from Walailak University and 25 students from the German Literature Study Program at Universitas Negeri Surabaya. The activities were conducted through three main stages: intercultural understanding training, intercultural competence workshops, and focus group discussions addressing contemporary cultural issues in Asia and Europe. The training activities were initiated with a pre-test and concluded with a post-test to evaluate participants’ intercultural understanding improvement. The results indicated a significant increase in participants’ intercultural awareness, communication skills, and understanding of cultural diversity between Indonesia and Thailand. The findings suggest that intercultural engagement activities can effectively foster multicultural awareness and global competencies among university students.

Abstract

The preservation of Indonesian cultural identity among migrant communities has become increasingly important in the era of globalization. Indonesian students enrolled in non-formal education programs abroad often experience limited access to cultural learning, particularly regional cultural heritage. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen Javanese cultural literacy among Indonesian students in Kuala Lumpur and Johor, Malaysia, through participatory cultural education activities. The program involved students from non-formal educational institutions, Indonesian migrant communities, and cultural organizations in Malaysia. Activities were conducted through lectures, demonstrations, guided practices, cultural performances, and collaborative learning focusing on Javanese language, Javanese script, traditional songs, etiquette (unggah-ungguh basa), and karawitan. Data were collected through participatory observation, documentation, attendance records, and reflective evaluations. The results demonstrated increased participant engagement, improved understanding of Javanese cultural practices, stronger appreciation toward traditional arts, and enhanced awareness of Indonesian cultural identity. Approximately 85% of participants actively engaged in cultural practices, while 78% demonstrated improved understanding of Javanese language etiquette and cultural expressions after the program. The initiative also generated sustainable institutional collaboration between Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Indonesian community organizations, and higher education institutions in Malaysia. The novelty of this program lies in integrating cultural diplomacy, community empowerment, and heritage-based education within Indonesian diaspora communities abroad. The findings indicate that community-based cultural engagement can effectively contribute to cultural preservation, intercultural understanding, and international educational networking.
