Tata Kelola Distribusi Qurban Berbasis Kampus sebagai Upaya Penguatan Solidaritas Sosial di Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

The qurban program has a social dimension that can be developed into a form of community service grounded in Islamic philanthropy. Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara conducts an annual qurban program that involves the academic community, the organizing committee, volunteers, partners, and beneficiary communities. This activity aimed to descriptively evaluate the governance of campus-based qurban distribution and identify the forms of social collaboration observed during its implementation. The community development approach served as the framework for program implementation, while the evaluation was based on field observation, activity documentation, and administrative records of the organizing committee without conducting surveys or interviews with beneficiaries. The analysis focused on program implementation, distribution coverage, coupon verification, division of responsibilities, distribution flow, operational constraints, and institutional learning. During Eid al-Adha 1447 H/2026, a total of 66 sacrificial animals were recorded, including 40 animals slaughtered at the main campus and 26 allocated to other locations, including UMSU-assisted disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost areas. At the main location, 3,605 coupon recipients were recorded. The findings indicate that the division of responsibilities, separation of processing areas, coupon-based distribution, and recipient verification supported the control of the distribution process. The involvement of university leaders, the academic community, committee members, volunteers, and partners also demonstrates observable institutional and social collaboration. However, changes in social solidarity and beneficiaries' perceptions were not directly measured; the findings should not be interpreted as causal evidence of increased social solidarity. The program provides a basis for developing a systematic, documented, and accountable model of campus-based qurban governance.

Dany Candra Febrianto, Nenen Isnaeni, Maulida Ayu Fitriani — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0700

SD Muhammadiyah Danaraja, located in Banjarnegara Regency, Central Java, is an A-accredited elementary school with adequate facilities and internet access that support technology-based learning. However, teachers still tend to rely on conventional instructional media such as PowerPoint presentations and textbooks, resulting in limited variation in content delivery and a lack of alignment with the characteristics of digital-native students. This condition creates a gap in digital literacy, in which many abstract concepts are difficult for students to understand due to the lack of meaningful connections to real-world experiences. To address this issue, this community service program offers training in developing Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media using Assemblr Edu. This platform was selected for its user-friendly nature, lack of reliance on programming skills, and accessibility on both mobile devices and computers. The training was designed in three stages: (1) introduction to AR concepts and motivational sessions, (2) hands-on practice in developing AR learning media resulting in at least one ready-to-use product, and (3) mentoring and reflection through simulated classroom implementation. A participatory training approach was employed to encourage active teacher engagement. The activities included preparation and pre-testing, basic and advanced workshops, guided independent practice, and the presentation of outcomes and evaluation. The results show an increase in teachers' understanding of the concepts and applications of Augmented Reality in learning, with the average score rising from 56.4 on the pre-test to 84.1 on the post-test.

The results showed a clear transformation: production costs dropped by 15–25%, income increased by 20–35%, and women became more actively engaged in packaging and online marketing. Beyond economic gains, the program also nurtured environmental awareness through the reuse of organic waste and promoted teamwork and shared responsibility within the group. Overall, this initiative demonstrates how community empowerment rooted in local innovation can strengthen economic resilience, promote gender inclusion, and advance rural aquaculture toward a greener, more sustainable future.
