The government's implementation of the Academic Ability Test (TKA) has shocked some students, particularly because they are unfamiliar with the test questions. This highlights the need for public awareness campaigns regarding the TKA questions, particularly in private schools. This community service initiative aims to provide high school students in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) with an overview of the TKA mathematics exam. The method used in this initiative is drills and discussions, aimed at training and preparing students for the types of questions tested in the TKA. This initiative was attended by five private schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and conducted by lecturers and students from the Mathematics Education study program at Alma Ata University. The results of this training indicate that students gained an overview of the TKA mathematics exam questions and learned several strategies for solving them effectively. This initiative is expected to help students become more prepared and confident in facing the TKA in the future.

This study aims to analyse the implications of digitalisation trends in business management on curriculum and teaching methods in educational institutions. Using a qualitative research design with a case study approach, the unit of analysis is a business management education program at several universities in Indonesia that have adopted technology in teaching. Data sources were obtained through interviews with education managers, lecturers, and students, as well as analysis of related policy and curriculum documents. The data collection techniques used were semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, while the data were analysed by thematic analysis methods to identify key themes related to digitalisation in education. The research findings show that despite the awareness of the importance of digitalisation, many educational institutions struggle to integrate technology thoroughly into their business management curriculum. The contribution of this research is to provide insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by educational institutions in adopting digitalisation, as well as offer recommendations for the development of technology-based curricula that are relevant to the needs of the digital business world.

This research aims to explore changes in social psychology approaches in education to increase empathy and tolerance in schools. The study used a qualitative design with student analysis units, teachers, and school staff in several secondary schools. Data sources were obtained through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies related to policies and programs that support empathy and tolerance learning. Data collection techniques include semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, observation of social interactions in schools, and analysis of school policy documents. Data analysis was carried out using a thematic approach to identify patterns that emerged from the perspective of students and teaching. The research findings suggest that a social psychology approach that is more based on students' social experiences and emotional involvement can increase the level of empathy and tolerance among them. The contribution of this research is to provide insight into the importance of integrating social psychology in education as a strategy to form better students' social character, as well as offering practical guidance for schools in implementing the values of empathy and tolerance in the curriculum.
