An earthquake occurs when energy is suddenly released within the earth’s layers, potentially causing loss of life and environmental damage. One factor contributing to the high impact of earthquakes is the lack of student understanding and inadequate education on disaster preparedness. This study aimed to assess earthquake disaster management education at the Nur Adia Junior High School Education Foundation, Tanjung Selamat, Deli Serdang. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest and posttest was applied, involving 63 eighth-grade students. Data were collected through questionnaires to measure students’ knowledge before and after the educational intervention on earthquake disaster management. The results indicated that before the education, 69.8% of students rarely received information about earthquake causes, 61.9% had never participated in school earthquake evacuation simulations, and 55.5% had never practiced evacuation drills. After the educational intervention, knowledge improved, with 66.6% of students reporting that the program significantly increased their understanding of earthquakes. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.000 < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of the intervention. The study concluded that education on earthquake disaster management can enhance students’ knowledge and preparedness. It is recommended that schools implement regular educational programs and disaster simulation exercises to cultivate students’ readiness and promote a culture of disaster preparedness within the school environment.

The application of Mastery Learning in Olympiad mentoring at Darussalam Islamic Junior High School was carried out using a classroom action research model involving 20 students from grades 8 and 9. The mentoring process followed a cyclical structure consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection, supported by observation techniques, tests, and documentation. The implementation of the mastery learning model effectively improved students’ mathematics learning outcomes, as shown by a significant increase in mastery levels: 65% before the intervention, 75% after the first cycle, and 90% after the second cycle. In addition, the average learning score rose from 71 in the first cycle to 87 in the second cycle, reflecting substantial progress in understanding and problem-solving abilities. These results indicate that Mastery Learning not only enhances students’ mathematics performance but also strengthens their readiness and confidence to compete in the National OSN competition, demonstrating the model’s positive contribution to academic achievement and Olympiad preparation.

This community service program aimed to enhance students’ pharmaceutical literacy through the introduction of drug classification logos at SMP Muhammadiyah 04 Pangkatrejo. The background of this activity was the low level of drug-use literacy among adolescents, often leading to irrational self-medication. The activity employed a quantitative descriptive design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. Educational interventions included interactive counseling, PowerPoint presentations, visual media using logo sticks, and pretest–posttest evaluation. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ knowledge (p = 0.000), with mean scores increasing from 58% to 81% after the intervention. The highest gain was observed in the recognition of logo colors and drug classifications. Satisfaction analysis revealed that 96% of participants expressed satisfaction with the learning process, especially regarding material clarity and the presenters’ readiness to answer questions. The study concludes that participatory educational methods and visual media effectively improve rational drug-use awareness among junior high school students. Future programs are recommended to expand similar activities to other schools and integrate digital media for sustained impact on public health literacy.

Siswa sekolah menengah pertama adalah para remaja dengan rentang usia 12-15 tahun yang merupakan kelompok pengguna aktif media sosial. Hasil pengamatan awal menunjukkan bahwa mereka rata-rata menghabiskan antara 3-4 jam setiap hari untuk mengakses media sosial seperti Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, dan Whatsapp. Sehingga dapat dikatakan jika media sosial telah menjadi bagian penting kehidupan mereka sehari-hari.

The use of information technology in the world of education looks better. With the ease of getting this information, cases of parents who do not know the status of their children's education are increasingly rare. The use of technology in the world of education in teaching and learning activities cannot be done by one party alone. It takes the involvement of all, especially teachers and students. If you look at the age of the teachers, of course, not a few of them can be considered old. This is what makes not a few of the teachers still rigid with technology. But it's a different story with today's school students. The year of birth of school students is currently in the generation Z category, where technology is their lifestyle. The method of transferring knowledge from teachers to students must be changed so that knowledge can be well absorbed by students. This community service aims to provide training on the use of Google Classroom as one of the school's e-learning at SMP N 2 Kasihan.
