Training on implementing science books using a Case-Based Learning (CBL) approach was conducted to enhance students' critical thinking skills. This training was motivated by the need for innovative teaching materials that are not only theoretical but also able to present real-world contexts in science learning. The training was carried out in several stages: an introduction to the concept of CBL, guidance on using case-based science books, and direct practice during the learning process. The participants were students of the Elementary School Teacher Education study program in the Basic Concepts of Science course. The instruments used included a response questionnaire, observations of the training implementation, and a test. The results showed that implementing science books with a CBL approach had a positive impact, as evidenced by improvements in students' ability to identify problems, analyse information, and draw logical conclusions from real cases. In addition, students' responses to the training were also very positive, with evaluations indicating that CBL-based science books are practical and engaging. The posttest results showed an improvement in students' critical thinking, with an average score of 82. Thus, training in implementing CBL-based science books proved effective in equipping students for science learning.

The results showed a positive response: View Scan supported object identification, Auris reinforced verbal comprehension, and the Mechano Receptor improved spatial perception. Students’ participation, concentration, and memory increased significantly, with an effectiveness rate of 81.01%. In conclusion, this PkM successfully enhanced the cognitive functions of visually impaired students.

The culinary MSME sector in Desa Prima Gayatri, Bangunjiwo, Kasihan, Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Region, faces challenges due to unappealing packaging designs, resulting in low consumer interest and limited product competitiveness.

The Community Partnership Empowerment Program for the Delta Samudera Timur Group was carried out in Dusun Tegalsari Dukuh Kupang, Jabon District, Sidoarjo Regency. This activity was implemented to address the clean water crisis caused by brackish water conditions that are not suitable for consumption. The main objective is to improve access to clean and consumable water while also promoting gender equality in coastal communities. Efforts were made through the installation of a brackish water purification system utilizing local materials (ALPAMAL), along with gender-based mentoring that emphasizes the distribution of domestic roles and economic opportunities. The implementation began with a community needs survey, followed by the construction and installation of the purification system, and concluded with an evaluation through post-activity interviews. The results showed that the technology successfully produced clean water for both consumption and household needs. The mentoring also increased men’s awareness and participation in domestic work, while opening new business opportunities for women, such as community-based culinary ventures. This program demonstrates that the combination of environmentally friendly technology and social approaches can serve as a catalyst for improving the quality of life and transforming gender relations in coastal areas.

Feed production techniques using local raw materials for mud crab farmers in Madak Belek Hamlet, Sekotong District

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This community service activity focused on developing feed production techniques using local raw materials for mud crab farmers in Madak Belek Hamlet, Sekotong District. The main challenge faced by farmers is the high cost of commercial feed, which reduces profit margins. In fact, the area is rich in underutilized nutrient-rich local resources such as trash fish and seafood processing by-products. A participatory approach was applied, including observation, socialization, demonstration, hands-on training, and evaluation. The training emphasized feed formulation and the application of 5% wheat gluten as a binder, which had been proven in preliminary studies to enhance feed stability in water. The results showed an improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills in processing local ingredients into quality feed. The expected impacts include reducing dependence on commercial feed, lowering production costs, and improving the efficiency and sustainability of mud crab farming. For further optimization, feed performance testing on crab growth and economic feasibility analysis are required.

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Drug abuse poses a serious threat to Indonesia's young generation, particularly among junior and senior high school students who are highly vulnerable to peer influence. As a form of community service, the Community Service Program (KKN) team conducted a drug abuse awareness campaign at SMPN 5 Kandis (400 students) and SMAN 2 Kandis (500 students) on September 3, 2025. The activity involved 13 students from the Belutu Village KKN group in collaboration with village officials, healthcare workers, and school representatives. The implementation methods included a pre-test, interactive lectures, group discussions, Q&A sessions, and a post-test to measure improvement in students' understanding. The results showed a significant increase in the "good" knowledge category, from 20% in the pre-test to 80% in the post-test, while the "poor" category dropped sharply from 40% to 5%. In addition, students demonstrated positive behavioral changes by committing to staying away from drugs and reminding their peers to do the same. These findings indicate that a multi-stakeholder synergy between university students, local communities, schools, village authorities, and healthcare workers is effective in improving drug abuse literacy among adolescents.

Pendampingan sistem aquaponik dalam mewujudkan ketahanan pangan rumah tangga

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Food security remains a major challenge in rural development, even though rural areas possess vast land and strong agricultural potential. Ideally, sufficient land ownership and farming resources should guarantee stable household food availability, yet food insecurity persists. Therefore, this community engagement program aims to: (1) map household food security potential in the village, and (2) assist residents through aquaponics training to support sustainable household food supply. The program applies the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, which focuses on identifying and analyzing community assets, including human, natural, and financial resources; infrastructure; and social and institutional networks. The results of this asset mapping are then developed using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) to plan an effective assistance strategy. Findings indicate that agricultural, livestock, human, and infrastructure assets strongly support improvements in food security. Aquaponics can be implemented in both large and small home yards at low cost, using recycled bottles for hydroponic plants and small tanks for catfish cultivation, helping households maintain sustainable access to food.

Residents' evaluation of community center revitalization with murals: Aesthetics, local identity, and ownership

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0700

A mural project was implemented as a visual enhancement for the community center. This study examines residents' perspectives on mural interventions and evaluates the effectiveness of measurement tools. The mural project took one month to complete, but preparation, including discussions with the community head, also required one month. Post-project surveys were gathered online via a Likert scale, employing a quantitative descriptive method. Item validity and internal reliability were assessed using item-total correlations and Cronbach's alpha. Twenty respondents participated in the survey. The instrument demonstrated strong reliability (α = 0.78) with 14 valid items. The findings indicate that the average perception across dimensions falls within the mid-range, with social interaction leading at 58.20%, followed by sense of ownership at 55.60%, revitalization evaluation at 55.32%, aesthetic perception at 55.00%, local identity at 54.60%, and community pride at 53.20%, which is the lowest. The findings indicate that murals effectively stimulate social interaction, though they have not yet fully realized their potential to build community pride. Practical implications involve enhancing theme curation rooted in local identity, engaging residents in maintenance, and creating regular activity programs to boost pride.
