Pelatihan Pengembangan Bahan Ajar dan Modul Ajar untuk Fase F bagi Guru MGMP Bahasa Inggris Jawa Timur

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Senior High School English MGMP of East Java Province faces several urgent issues, including the large number of terminologies and processes that must be internalized and implemented within the Merdeka Curriculum and its supporting components. In addition, the Senior High School English MGMP of East Java Province should specifically focus on developing instructional modules and teaching materials for Senior High School English subjects in the Merdeka Curriculum, particularly for Phase F (General and Advanced). The proposed solution to address these challenges is to provide training on breaking down the Learning Outcomes, Learning Objectives, and Learning Objective Pathways for Phase F General and Phase F Advanced, as well as on developing Phase F Instructional Modules and English teaching materials. This training is conducted through practical workshops. This method is chosen because it aligns with participant-centered principles, is non-directive, and enables teachers to work collaboratively, actively, and productively. The community service activities with the East Java Senior High School English MGMP have been carried out through several stages: coordination meetings with MGMP board members, preparation of training modules, delivery of theoretical materials, preparation of Phase F instructional module materials, offline theoretical sessions, practical workshops on developing teaching materials and instructional modules for both General and Advanced Phase F, and follow-up activities. All activities were successfully implemented, and nearly all expected outputs were achieved.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Food hygiene and sanitation play a crucial role in ensuring food quality and safety, particularly within the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) sector. According to data from the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM, 2022), 72 outbreaks of food poisoning were reported in Indonesia, a 44% increase from the previous year. The majority of these cases were caused by catering services (31.94%) and street food (23.61%), highlighting the urgent need for proper hygiene and sanitation practices among food handlers. This community service activity was conducted at a food-processing MSME in Ambulu Village, Losari Sub-district, Cirebon Regency, aiming to evaluate the effectiveness of using a flip chart as an educational medium to improve workers' knowledge regarding food production hygiene and sanitation. The method involved an initial interview-based knowledge assessment, educational sessions using flip charts, and a follow-up interview using the same set of questions. The subjects were two MSME employees. Results showed an improvement in the average knowledge score from 60 to 90, with a total increase of 30 points. The use of flip charts proved effective in delivering information visually, interactively, and comprehensively, making it easier for participants to understand the concepts presented. This approach demonstrates that flip-chart-based education can be an effective strategy to enhance food hygiene and sanitation practices among MSMEs, particularly in rural areas.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Kereng Bangkirai sub-district, located in the Sebangau Peatland Ecotourism area, has the potential to utilize endemic Dayak plants as natural dyes for the development of dotted batik products. However, its use by the community remains very limited due to a lack of knowledge, innovation, and skills in the production process. The objective of this community service program is to empower the community through training in the production of natural-dye batik, from the introduction of endemic plants and batik techniques to dye extraction from sawang and purun leaves, the mordanting process, and batik dyeing and finishing. The method used is a participatory action research (PAR) approach, which actively involves participants in every stage. The program evaluation instrument uses pre- and post-tests to measure increases in participants' knowledge and skills. The training provided to the Kereng Bangkirai community group received positive responses and support from the village administration. The conclusion of this activity shows an increase in participants' knowledge, skills, and creativity in utilizing natural dyes as an alternative innovation for creative economic products with cultural value that enhance the appeal of peatland ecotourism.

Pendampingan Penyusunan Laporan Keuangan Sederhana Berdasarkan Kaidah SAK-EMKM Bagi UMKM Agroindustri Tahu “H. Pepen” di Desa Rancaekek Kulon, Kecamatan Rancaekek, Kabupaten Bandung

Samsul Arifin, Ulya Rahmah, Salma Muthmainnah — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This community service activity focuses on assisting the preparation of simple financial reports based on SAK-EMKM for the Agroindustry SME "H. Pepen" Tofu in Bandung Regency. Although the enterprise has been operating since 1990 with relatively stable production capacity, the main challenge for the partner is the lack of a structured financial recording system in accordance with accounting standards. All business transactions are still recorded manually and unsystematically, which complicates business analysis, accurate cost of goods sold (COGS) calculations, and loan applications. The objectives of this activity are (1) to enhance financial literacy among SME actors and (2) to assist in preparing simple financial reports in compliance with SAK-EMKM. The method employed is Participatory Action Research (PAR), consisting of observation, accounting workshops, and technical assistance. The results indicate that the mentoring process successfully improved the partner's understanding of the importance of financial reporting, as evidenced by SAK-EMKM. The partner has now developed a simple financial report format (utilizing manual cash books and basic Excel templates) that can be applied independently. The service team's involvement also serves as a sustainable model of empowerment that other SMEs can replicate.

Biokonversi Sampah Organik Berbasis Maggot BSF dalam Pemberdayaan PKK RT 1 RW 7 di Kelurahan Sumbersari, Jember

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Household organic waste is a major component of waste generation in densely populated residential areas, especially in urban areas with limited land and time. In RT 1 RW 7, Sumbersari Village, waste management is not optimally carried out, as the waste transportation system still relies on the door-to-door method, with no processing at the household level. This community service program aims to increase community awareness and involvement, especially among PKK mothers, in managing organic waste through bioconversion technology using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggots. The activity was carried out through a participatory approach in the form of a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) that was aligned with the PKK's regular meeting agenda. Residents were educated on how to use maggots, starting with sorting organic and non-organic waste. PKK mothers were also shown the decomposition process using BSF maggots firsthand, thereby convincing them of the program's benefits. Regular monitoring and evaluation were conducted to assess the program's effectiveness and changes in community behavior in sorting and processing waste. Monitoring results showed that most residents were quite enthusiastic about implementing the organic waste conversion program with maggots.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Older people often experience physical, social, and emotional changes that affect their psychological well-being. These changes can lead to feelings of loneliness, alienation, and a decreased ability to find meaning in life. This condition indicates the need for interventions that help older adults enhance self-acceptance, gratitude, and inner peace in later life. This program aims to strengthen their sense of meaning in life through spirituality-based psychoeducation conducted in an elderly pesantren setting. The program was implemented in three stages: initial assessment, intervention, and evaluation involving twenty-seven participants at Pesantren Lansia Ahsanu Amala. The initial assessment included observations, group discussions, and questionnaire administration to identify emotional needs and baseline levels of meaning in life. The intervention consisted of two psychoeducation sessions focusing on reflection on past experiences and on understanding life meaning from a spiritual perspective, combined with reflective exercises and interactive discussions. The evaluation was carried out by comparing pre-test and post-test results and by observing participant engagement throughout the activities. The findings showed an increase in participants' understanding of life meaning, indicated by their improved ability to reflect on past experiences more positively, to understand meaning in life from an Islamic perspective, and to develop self-acceptance. The program also strengthened social connections and fostered a more stable emotional atmosphere among participants.

Pelatihan Budidaya Maggot dan Produksi Produk Turunannya untuk Mengatasi Permasalahan sampah Organik dan Meningkatkan Minat Kewirausahaan Mahasiswa

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

In Indonesia, waste exceeds landfill capacity, and the volume increases significantly each year. One successful effort to manage organic waste is the cultivation of Black Soldier Fly (BSF). This environmentally friendly entrepreneurial activity addresses organic waste management and increases community income. Maggots, the larvae of BSF, can be utilized and sold as fresh maggots, dried maggots, and derivative products. The involvement of students in the Fisheries Department, Agriculture Faculty, University of Palangka Raya, in entrepreneurial activities remains limited due to several obstacles, including a lack of confidence, a lack of innovative and creative ideas, and the belief that substantial capital is required. However, maggot entrepreneurship doesn't require much capital because maggot food can be made from organic materials or household waste. Providing training in maggot cultivation and the production of derivative products to students is a breakthrough that enhances their knowledge and skills and helps them explore their entrepreneurial potential. The maggots and the derivative products they produce will have a market value and thus become a source of income. The training evaluation results showed an increase in students' knowledge and skills in maggot cultivation and the production of derivative products, as well as interest in maggot entrepreneurship. Maggot cultivation not only provides various benefits but also demonstrates their commitment to addressing organic waste issues. Through training and mentoring, students successfully cultivated maggots and produced maggot products, including fresh, dried, and pupae maggots, as well as maggot fertilizer (Frass), and marketed them.

The target of the activity was to build an entrepreneurial mindset in a community with no prior business background. The results of competency measurements, comparing pre-test and post-test, showed an average increase of 66.3%, with the highest increase in the Marketing Strategy 5.0 domain (90.1%). This increase confirms the effectiveness of the knowledge integration model in a short time.

Pelatihan Pengelolaan Kelas Interaktif Berbasis Smartphone bagi Guru-Guru SMP Negeri 7 Kota Jambi

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

According to research by a digital marketing research institution, the number of smartphone users in Indonesia has increased significantly each year. In 2016, the number of users stood at 65.2 million people and continued to rise, reaching 92 million people in 2019. However, this dramatic increase has not been accompanied by education on smartphone use, leading to various cases of cellphone misuse among students. The service team recognized the need for training on effective mobile phone use, particularly in schools. SMP Negeri 7 Kota Jambi (State Junior High School 7 of Jambi City) was selected as the service location based on the availability of supporting facilities, especially adequate internet infrastructure. This community service took place on August 5, 2020, using lecture, discussion, demonstration, and hands-on practice simulation methods, attended by 40 teachers from various subject areas. Initial survey results showed that only 2 out of 40 teachers knew about the learning applications Kahoot, Mentimeter, and Quizizz, but had never implemented them in teaching. The final evaluation results showed that 100% of teachers understood how to use interactive smartphone-based learning applications, and 90% expressed interest in integrating them into their teaching.

Umi Salamah, Endang Purwanti, Siti Muslima W. Udi — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Stunting remains a public health problem in Kedung Pengawas Village, Bekasi Regency, as indicated by the continued presence of stunting cases despite a regional decline in prevalence. This community service program aimed to improve maternal knowledge and skills and to support adequate nutritional intake among toddlers through innovative training in oxytocin massage and the Marmet technique, and the provision of soy milk–based probiotic protein. The methods included health education sessions, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and monitoring and evaluation of maternal knowledge and child growth. The program was conducted over a 2-month period and involved 20 participants, including breastfeeding mothers, mothers with toddlers, and community health cadres. A one-group pretest–posttest design, without a control group, was used for evaluation. Descriptive statistical analysis showed an increase in the mean maternal knowledge scores from the pretest to the posttest following counseling, training in oxytocin massage and the Marmet technique, and nutrition education. In addition, consumption of probiotic soy milk three times per week for one month was associated with positive growth-related trends, as children tended to show increases in body weight and height after the intervention period compared with baseline measurements. However, the magnitude of change varied among individuals. Training in oxytocin massage and the Marmet technique also enhanced mothers' skills in stimulating breast milk production and independently addressing breastfeeding challenges. Overall, this program provided tangible benefits to the community in stunting prevention through education, capacity building, and practical nutritional support that can be easily applied in daily life.

Okmes Fadriyanti, Fredia Heppy, Widya Puspita Sari — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Data shows that 30.52% of older people in Padang experience tooth loss, yet only 1.53% use dentures. This condition can disrupt nutritional intake and diminish the quality of life, thereby increasing the risk of malnutrition. Malnutrition, in turn, can exacerbate the physical and mental health status of older people. A community service program was conducted involving 30 elderly participants at the Posyandu Permata Bunda in Gunung Sarik Village, Padang. The intervention comprised socialization and education on the impacts of tooth loss and the importance of dentures, oral cavity examinations, nutritional status assessment using the Mini Nutritional Assessment, and quality-of-life assessment using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). The participants were followed from the initial activities through the denture fabrication process. Elderly individuals with poor nutritional status tended to have a poorer quality of life. A significant improvement in quality of life was observed following denture use: the proportion of participants in the "good" category increased from 20% to 60%, while the proportion in the "poor" category decreased from 40% to 10%. A significant difference in GOHAI scores (p<0.05) was found before and after the intervention. The implementation of socialization, education, and denture installation at the posyandu effectively improved the elderly participants' quality of life. This integrated intervention can serve as a model for comprehensively addressing elderly health issues at posyandu, including providing ongoing support after denture use. These activities should be conducted periodically, with nutritional status assessments every three months and continuous monthly support for denture use.

Micro and small businesses in Pakukerto Village, Pasuruan Regency, have great economic potential through various processed food products, herbal drinks, and local handicrafts. However, this potential has not been fully realized due to a lack of understanding of trademark law and limited ability to use digital platforms.

The implementation of activities included identifying the needs of business actors, delivering legal material on the importance of brand protection, training on creating business social media accounts, and providing technical assistance for the brand registration process through the system provided by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property. The results of the activity showed that 80% of participants understood the function of a brand as a business identity and long-term legal protection. A total of 18 of the 30 participants who attended the training expressed their readiness to apply for trademark registration and to start implementing visual content-based marketing strategies.

Taman Rekreasi Sengkaling (TRS) is a business unit owned and managed by Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM). It provides entertainment and educational (eduwisata) facilities for visitors.

Tatang Shabur Julianto, Muhaimin Muhaimin, Rheyza Virgiawan — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This community service program aimed to empower the local potential of salak fruit in Wonokerto Village, Turi Subdistrict, Sleman Regency, by developing salak vinegar as a value-added product. The community has traditionally sold salak in its fresh form, which provides low economic value and is vulnerable to price drops during peak harvest seasons. Limited knowledge of fermentation techniques, product quality standards, business management, and marketing has been a major obstacle to the development of processed salak products. The program was carried out from September to December 2023 through several stages, including site surveys, training on salak vinegar production, hands-on fermentation practice, product evaluation, and assistance in obtaining household food industry (PIRT) certification. The training focused on two-stage fermentation using yeast and Acetobacter aceti, sterilization procedures, proper packaging, and digital marketing strategies. The results showed that participants were able to produce high-quality salak vinegar. Laboratory tests indicated acetic acid levels of 1.05–1.16% and pH values of 3.14–3.19, which fall within the acceptable range for edible vinegar. Organoleptic testing demonstrated positive acceptance, particularly in aroma and color. Furthermore, assistance in PIRT licensing and marketing enhancement increased the product's readiness to enter the market. Overall, the program successfully improved community skills and knowledge in product diversification and opened new economic opportunities based on local resources. This initiative is expected to serve as a replicable model of empowerment for other salak-producing regions.
