Abstract

The purpose of this community service is to provide knowledge and skills related to the method of non-destructive testing for welding (NDT). It is expected that all participants will be able to independently carry out non-destructive testing of welding results that will be taught to vocational high school students in Kulon Progo Regency. This community service was conducted through lecture, discussion, simulation, and asssited practice. Those activities were done to make it easier for participants to understand the materials presented. After all the activities were completed, an evaluation was carried out on both the ability and understanding of partners and the evaluation of the activities that have been carried out. The results of this activity show that before participating in the training participants ability related to non-destructive testing of welding results is low. Then, after the program was carried out, there is a significant increase in mastery of the theory and practice of welding testing, ranging from visual testing, penetrant fluids, magnetic tests, to ultrasonic tests.

Abstract

This training program aimed to improve family financial literacy as part of a strategy to strengthen family resilience, improve welfare, and reduce the risk of poverty. The training was initiated because of the lack of skills in managing family finances. Two activities were conducted during the training, namely classical classes and workshops. In classical classes, the spokesperson provided an explanation of the material, while the workshop was about financial planning and management practice. This training was held at the Karangsari Village Hall, Pengasih, Kulon Progo, with 30 participants from the Family Welfare Movement/Pemberdayaan dan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK). The results of the training showed an increase in participant knowledge, as evidenced by an increase in scores from the pre-test to the post-test. The average pre-test score of participants was 57, while the average post-test score was 75, indicating an increase in their understanding of family financial management. The implication of this training is the importance of forming financial literacy cadres among PKK members to become agents of disseminating financial literacy in Karangsari Village.

Abstract

The increasing population in Indonesia demands sufficient food availability to achieve national food security. Food security is a strategic policy involving social, economic, cultural, environmental, and political aspects, with its success indicators determined by adequate food access. Addressing food security issues requires factors such as infrastructure, sustainable technology, and land availability. Effective agricultural land management, supported by water resources, is crucial for improving agricultural productivity. Situ (water reservoirs) play a significant role in supporting agricultural productivity, particularly in Serang Regency, and make a notable contribution to rice production. Ensuring proper management of the situ through technical evaluation and maintenance audits is essential to enhance operational efficiency and support food security goals. Performance assessment and AKNOP preparation are critical for identifying areas of improvement and optimal resource allocation. This activity aims to provide information on components that require attention and serves as a guideline for budget preparation. The performance assessment indicated that Situ Ranca Gede Kawao received a score of 57.17, categorized as sufficient. Components that need improvement include operational guidelines, supporting documents, staff competency, and community involvement. Field identification revealed minor damages that impact water retention, requiring attention to ensure optimal functionality. The results of the AKNOP preparation for Situ Ranca Gede Kawao include operational and maintenance costs totaling IDR 250,905,325. Technical audits, including operational and maintenance cost calculations, provide a foundation for targeted actions to improve the situ's performance and maintain agricultural productivity. A proactive management strategy is key to ensuring the operational efficiency and maintenance of Situ Ranca Gede Kawao, thereby contributing to national food security efforts.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges of preparing an adaptive vocational curriculum in the Society 5.0 era by analyzing trends in subject areas, researcher productivity, publication years, and countries, using Scopus-indexed data processed with VOSViewer. Results indicate that publications on “Vocational and Education” accumulated 279 citations from 1994 to 2024, with the peak number of publications occurring in 2019 at 29 articles. The United States leads in the number of published articles, while the most productive researchers are Mulder R. H. and Nurtanto, M., each contributing three publications. Title trend analysis reveals three clusters of ongoing research interests, including education, training, curriculum, teaching, learning, engineering, ethics, professional education, universities, and program evaluation. The main challenge in developing an adaptive vocational curriculum for Society 5.0 is fostering collaboration between government, industry, and educational institutions through the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) approach, alongside integrating digital technology effectively into vocational learning processes.

Abstract

Entrepreneurs utilize Business Model Canvas planning to design a business with 9 parts that bring value to customers and are sustainable.  Encourage and explore students' inventiveness when teaching Business Model Canvas planning.  Jigsaw is one learning strategy.  Small groups discuss the instructor's subjects after receiving a brief theoretical orientation on the Business Model Canvas teaching material in the jigsaw learning approach.  Compared to typical learning approaches, how effective is this jigsaw method for Business Model Canvas teaching?  Two groups of junior teachers and students, classes A and B, receive experimental methods to evaluate the jigsaw learning method using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods.  A questionnaire is presented to each group after therapy.  Each group was given a closed questionnaire with a 1-5 linkert scale to assess learning and understanding following the treatment.  Therefore, non-parametric statistical calculations show that learning Business Model Canvas with the jigsaw learning model works.  A Chi Square (X2) of 17.674 > table (X2) with a confidence level of 1% accepts the alternative hypothesis (Ha), proving that the Jigsaw learning model is better at learning Business Model Canvas material.  It would be better to investigate and improve the Jigsaw learning model for strategic concepts and explanations in social science teaching materials rather than formula computations.

Abstract

Law No. 6/2014 on Villages provides autonomy to villages to manage resources and direct development through the establishment of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) as drivers of local economic development. BUMDes is expected to be a platform for community economic activities through professional management while still being based on the village's original potential. The challenge lies not only in establishing BUMDes, but also in maintaining its existence. The high number of BUMDes formed in each village has increased competition among BUMDes, as well as with other business sectors. In reality, many BUMDes have not been able to contribute significantly to village revenues. In the face of such competition, BUMDes need to adopt competitive advantage strategies, one of which is through the application of creative economy concepts. This change is also in line with Presidential Regulation No. 69/2019 that merges the Ministry of Tourism with the Ministry of Creative Economy in the Onward Indonesia Cabinet. Although previously, in 2014, a Creative Economy Agency was established, the tourism portion remains more dominant compared to the creative economy, as seen in the data from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. This article uses a literature review approach to investigate the causes and impacts of the paradigm shift in BUMDes management. With reference sources derived from research articles. The literature review used is sourced from articles available on google scholar within the period 2014-2024. The researcher conducted a literature review to answer research questions involving the concepts of creative economy, village-owned enterprises and BUMDes. It was found that the creative economy plays a role in the sustainability of BUMDes. This study concludes that the application of creative economy concepts plays an important role in supporting the sustainability of BUMDes.
