This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) learning model on improving students' mathematical literacy, particularly in social arithmetic material at SMP Negeri 2 Wonorejo. The research used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design in the form of a non-equivalent control group design. The population consisted of seventh-grade students from three classes, samples selected through purposive sampling based on preliminary test results: class VII B as the control group and class VII C as the experimental group. Research instruments included a validated observation sheet on student activities and an essay-type mathematical literacy test. Data analysis was conducted using normality tests, homogeneity tests, independent t-tests, and effect size calculation. The results indicated that student activities in the RME learning model were categorized as excellent. Hypothesis testing with an independent t-test yielded tcalculated = 2.81 > ttable = 1.56. The average post-test score of the experimental group (73.00) was higher than that of the control group (50.41). The effect size calculation resulted in d = 1.75, which falls into the large effect category. Thus, it can be concluded that the RME learning model has a positive and significant influence on improving students' mathematical literacy.

The increasing variety of digital financial products has contributed to greater access to financial services. However, there is growing need to enhance financial literacy, particularly among Generation Z, which dominates the use of technology compared to other generations. This generation is highly proficient in utilizing technology, including financial technology, which facilitates economic transactions through digital transfers and payments. On the other hand, this convenience also creates financial vulnerabilities for Generation Z, as reflected in poor personal fianncial management that leads to consumptive behavior and engagenment in online lending. Moreover, Generation Z tends to have lower levels of financial literacy compared to other generations. This community service program was conducted for Generation Z, specifically senior high school students at SMA Averos in Sorong City. The activity aimed to improve students’ understanding of financial literacy and provide practical tips for effective financial management. The program was implemented in the form of a financial literacy socialization activity, with the expectation of fostering financial awareness among young people regarding the importance of managing their finances and developing positive financial attitudes. The results of this activity indicate that students were able to understand financial literacy concepts effectively, leading to increased awareness and the ability to manage their finances in a prudent and responsible manner.

The thinking process carried out by teachers occurs in three phases, namely before learning, during learning, and after learning. The results of the analysis of these processes have the potential to produce innovative didactic designs, and these three processes can be formulated as a series of steps to produce new didactic designs. This series of activities is formulated as Didactic Design Research (DDR). Didactic Design Research basically consists of three stages, namely: (1) analysis of the didactic situation before learning which is in the form of a Hypothetical Didactic Design including ADP, 2) metapedidactic analysis, and 3) retrospective analysis, namely an analysis that links the results of the analysis of the hypothetical didactic situation with the results of the metapedidactic analysis. From these three stages, an Empirical Didactic Design will be obtained which is not closed to being continuously refined through the three stages of DDR.

Corruption is a serious problem that leads to declining public trust, weakened governance, and hindered national development. Beyond economic losses, corruption also erodes moral values, ethics, and social justice within society. Therefore, corruption prevention efforts must be carried out systematically and sustainably, one of which is through the internalization of anti-corruption values at an early stage, particularly among students as future generations. This community service activity aimed to instill values of integrity, honesty, responsibility, and public ethics among students through the Anti-Corruption Generation Interactive Seminar, conducted in commemoration of International Anti-Corruption Day 2025. The activity involved approximately 150 junior and senior high school students in Makassar. The method employed was an interactive seminar implemented through material presentations and discussions between speakers and participants. The seminar materials emphasized an understanding of the dangers of corruption, its impacts on national and social life, and the strategic role of students in fostering an anti-corruption culture within schools and the wider community. The evaluation of the activity was conducted through observation of participant engagement and responses during the seminar. The results indicated an increase in students’ understanding and awareness of anti-corruption values, as well as the importance of integrity-oriented behavior in everyday life. This activity demonstrates that interactive seminars can serve as an effective approach to supporting students’ character development and strengthening preventive efforts against corruption.

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Al-Miftah method in improving the mastery of reading traditional Islamic texts at Al-Mashhad Senior High School in Cijurai, Sukabumi. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of Al-Miftah teachers, students, and related parties. The results of the study indicate that the Al-Miftah method is implemented through the stages of introducing the basic rules of nahwu-sharaf, practicing reading traditional Islamic texts in stages, and strengthening understanding through repetition and direct practice. The implementation of this method has been proven to help students understand the structure of Arabic and improve their ability to read traditional Islamic texts, although several obstacles were still encountered, such as differences in students' Arabic language backgrounds, limited learning time, minimal independent practice, and limited mastery of the method by teachers. Efforts made to overcome these obstacles include learning grouping, time optimization, out-of-class practice assistance, and improving teacher competency through continuous training and evaluation. Thus, the Al-Miftah method has a positive contribution in increasing mastery of reading traditional books at Al-Mashhad Cijurai Sukabumi High School if supported by appropriate and continuous learning strategies

Adolescence is a crucial period in human development, characterized by biological, psychological, and social changes. At this stage, adolescents require proper understanding of reproductive health to prevent risky behaviors and to support the development of healthy and responsible attitudes. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ knowledge of reproductive health through socialization at State Vocational High School (SMKN) 1 Mempura, Siak Regency. The method used was descriptive qualitative with a focus on education through material delivery, interactive discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. The activity was conducted on August 14, 2025, at the SMKN 1 Mempura Hall, involving 39 students out of 50 targeted participants. Data were obtained through observation of students’ participation and documentation of the activity, and were then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results showed that students were enthusiastic in attending the socialization and demonstrated improved understanding of reproductive health concepts, reproductive organ functions, personal hygiene, and the risks of unsafe sexual behaviors. The interactive discussion also revealed students’ willingness to ask questions and share perspectives, reflecting stronger attitudes and confidence in maintaining reproductive health. In conclusion, the socialization of reproductive health at SMKN 1 Mempura successfully enhanced students’ knowledge and awareness. Despite limitations in terms of time allocation and long-term evaluation, this activity provided tangible benefits. Future efforts are recommended to develop sustainable programs supported by additional learning media and closer collaboration with the school.

Oral and dental health problems among elementary school children remain relatively high, particularly dental caries, which is influenced by low levels of knowledge and inadequate toothbrushing skills. Children aged 6–12 years are in the mixed dentition phase and therefore require special attention in maintaining oral hygiene. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and toothbrushing skills of elementary school students through a demonstration method using a dental phantom model. The activity was conducted at SD Inpres Maccini Sombala I in January 2026 and involved elementary school students as participants. The methods applied included oral health education, demonstration of proper toothbrushing techniques using a dental phantom, mass toothbrushing practice, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test as well as direct observation. The results showed an improvement in students’ understanding of the correct timing, frequency, and technique of toothbrushing, namely brushing twice a day after breakfast and before bedtime. In addition, students were able to practice proper toothbrushing techniques more effectively after the demonstration. The use of a dental phantom as an educational medium proved to be effective in increasing students’ interest, understanding, and toothbrushing skills. This activity is expected to help establish good toothbrushing habits from an early age and support promotive and preventive efforts to reduce the prevalence of dental caries among elementary school children.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Al-Qur’an Juz 30 tahfiz program at MI Darul Falah Konawe by applying the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative by collecting data through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study in the Context dimension show that the program has a very strong foundation of vision and target planning. In the Input dimension, teacher qualifications and supporting facilities are considered very adequate, but obstacles were found in the students' diverse initial abilities in reading and writing the Qur'an. The Process dimension reveals high student enthusiasm, but the implementation is hampered by limited guidance time and frequently interrupted schedules. As a result, in the Product dimension, students show very good reading quality (makhraj and tajwid), but the quantity of memorization has not yet reached the planned target. This study recommends the need to restructure the guidance schedule consistently and to provide a tahsin matriculation program to equalize students' basic abilities.

The development of education in the digital era requires students to master not only academic skills, but also soft skills and hard skills as a provision to face the challenges of education and the world of work. However, the learning process at Papua High School in Sorong City is still teacher-oriented, so students' communication courage and technological skills have not developed optimally. This community service activity aims to empower students through public communication training (public speaking) and computer network cable techniques to strengthen 21st century skills. The method used is a participatory approach with hands-on practice through four stages: observation, socialization, training, and evaluation. Public speaking training is focused on increasing students' courage and confidence in communicating, while network cable training emphasizes basic technical skills such as recognizing cable types, RJ-45 connector functions, crimping techniques, and connectivity testing. The results of the activities showed high participation and enthusiasm from students, as well as increased public speaking courage and basic understanding in network cable making. The integration of public communication training and technology skills has been proven to have a positive impact on the development of student competencies. Therefore, this activity is recommended as a model for developing soft skills and hard skills for high school students, especially in areas with limited access to technology learning.

Students' learning processes are not only determined by cognitive abilities but are also greatly influenced by accompanying psychological aspects. At the junior high school (SMP) level, students are in the early adolescence phase, which is characterized by significant changes in emotions, motivation, and social needs. This condition makes psychological aspects a crucial factor in determining learning success. This study aims to examine the psychological dynamics that influence the learning process of junior high school students and their implications for the implementation of learning. The research method used is field research with a descriptive qualitative approach. The results show that learning motivation, emotional state, learning strategies, and social environmental support have interrelated roles in shaping students' learning experiences. Differences in students' psychological states contribute to variations in engagement and learning outcomes. Therefore, understanding students' psychological dynamics is crucial for teachers in designing effective, comfortable, and meaningful learning.

Adolescents require higher levels of nutrients for physical growth and development, but the current trend is for adolescents to prefer instant foods such as junk food, spicy foods and foods containing unhealthy additives. This has led to the emergence of various diseases, one of which is gastritis. This condition is even more risky for female students living in Islamic boarding schools with busy activities and irregular meal schedules, thus requiring efforts to prevent gastritis. This study aims to determine the gastritis prevention behaviour of female students at Ma'had Asy-Syakur MAN 2 Kediri. This study uses a descriptive design with one variable, namely gastritis prevention behaviour. The research population consisted of students living at Ma'had Asy-Syakur MAN 2 Kediri, with a total of 59 respondents. Data collection was conducted using a gastritis prevention behaviour questionnaire. The results showed that almost all respondents (81.36%) had gastritis prevention behaviours in the adequate category, with a small portion in the good category (18.64%). The female students' busy and well-scheduled activities, accompanied by the implementation of discipline, regular meal arrangements, and the provision of stomach-friendly menus, contributed to the formation of gastritis prevention behaviour. The most common preventive behaviour was avoiding spicy foods, due to habits, taste preferences, and socio-cultural factors that had been established. This study recommends the need for health education that not only focuses on increasing knowledge but also changing attitudes and habits so that gastritis prevention behaviour can be further optimised.

Generation Z faces various challenges in determining their life direction amidst increasingly complex technological developments and social dynamics. As part of this generation, 12th-grade Vocational High School (SMK) students are in a crucial transition phase towards the world of work and further education, thus requiring the strengthening of a clear life purpose based on Islamic values. This community service activity aims to strengthen the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in shaping the life purpose of vocational high school students as an effort to create competitive Muslim youth. The community service activity was carried out at SMK Abdi Negara Tangerang, targeting 12th-grade students using an educational, participatory, and reflective approach. The implementation methods included interactive lectures, discussions, self-reflection, and mentoring linked to the values ​​of Islamic Religious Education. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, short interviews, and documentation, while data analysis used a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' understanding of the importance of having a directed life purpose that is aligned with the values ​​of faith, morals, and social responsibility. In addition, students showed increased motivation, awareness of their potential, and readiness to face the future. This activity also strengthens the role of Islamic Religious Education as a means of character development and life orientation for students. Thus, this community service activity makes a positive contribution to shaping a young generation of Muslims with character, competitiveness, and a clear purpose in life.

The advancement of digital technology has made computer literacy and language comprehension increasingly important. Playing games has become a daily habit for young children. Scratch is an innovative and child-friendly platform. This community service program aims to introduce basic programming concepts to sixth-grade students of Bulupasar Elementary School, Kediri, using the Scratch platform. This program adopts the Direct Instruction method, also known as hands-on learning. This one-day session involved 43 students who underwent a structured process consisting of a pre-test, material delivery, hands-on practice, such as using code blocks, introducing sprites, and creating a simple game, which was explained clearly and structured. During the project implementation phase, each student successfully created a simple animation project with the theme "Catch the Apple" and then conducted practical exercises to try it out on their own with direct guidance. This community service activity was successful, according to the analysis of the pre-test and post-test results. The resources used to create the simple game showed positive results and confirmed the importance of introducing children to the digital world from an early age. Qualitative evaluations revealed positive responses from all participants. Student comments reflected high enthusiasm for learning to code, with the majority expressing a desire to continue exploring Scratch independently. Several students expressed interest in creating future projects, suggesting the program has potential for implementation in other schools to encourage early introduction to programming and help prepare them for the future in an era of ever-evolving technology.

Education is a planned effort aimed at creating an effective learning environment where students can develop their potentials; it seeks to ensure that students become individuals who are confident, competent, independent, and responsible. Introducing students to the Qur'an is one of the ways to increase their faith. Education that includes Qur'an study has a very broad purpose, with its main goal being to influence the individual as a being who obeys their Creator and to reflect this through Islamic values. This study aims to evaluate the Tahfiz Qur'an program at SMA-TQ Mu'adz bin Jabal using the CIPP evaluation model. The research was conducted at SMA-TQ Mu'adz bin Jabal Kendari, using a qualitative descriptive method with the CIPP model (Context, Input, Process, and Product). The reason the author uses the CIPP evaluation model to evaluate the Tahfiz Al-Quran program is because it provides relevance in the decision-making process related to the planning of the program being implemented.The data collection process was conducted using observation and interview techniques. The results of this study show that the Tahfidz Al-Quran program at SMA-TQ Mu'adz bin Jabal Kendari has made real progress or development in every component—context, input, process, and product. These range from human resources supporting the program to facilities that do not create much burden and do not require special funding. However, the collaboration between the school and the parents has not yet been effectively implemented; this is because not every parent is able to track their children’s progress in Quran memorization.

This systematic literature review examines the implementation of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in Indonesian senior high schools. Following PRISMA guidelines, nine studies published between 2021 and 2025 were analyzed to identify the benefits and challenges of this approach. The findings reveal that CLIL effectively enhances student engagement, motivation, and the integrated development of subject knowledge and English proficiency. However, implementation is often hindered by limited teacher readiness, insufficient collaboration between subject and language teachers, and a lack of appropriate assessment methods. Analysis using the 4Cs Framework shows that while Content and Communication are prioritized, Cognition and Culture receive less explicit attention. The study implies that successful CLIL sustainability requires continuous professional development and stronger institutional support within the Merdeka Curriculum. These results provide a strategic basis for educators and policymakers to optimize bilingual instruction in Indonesia.

This research highlights the important role of the Naqsabandiyah Shafaiyah Tarekat in shaping the character of the worshippers at the Ahlus Shafa Wal Wafa Islamic Boarding School. This order centers on the purification of the soul (tazkiyatun nafs), spiritual discipline, and the strengthening of relationships with Allah and fellow humans. The process of character development is carried out continuously through various routine activities, such as dhikr, wirid reading, recitation, and direct guidance from a mursyid. These activities aim to create a deep religious atmosphere to encourage changes in attitudes and behaviors of worshippers. The results showed that after following the tarekat, the pilgrims experienced a significant increase in spiritual, emotional, and social aspects. They become calmer, more patient, and wiser in dealing with life's problems. In addition, the awareness to live simply and stay away from despicable traits such as arrogance and envy is growing along with the routine of dhikr and self-introspection. In the social context, this tarekat also succeeded in fostering an attitude of care, the spirit of mutual cooperation, and responsibility for the surrounding environment. Thus, the Naqsyabandiyah Shafaiyah Tarekat not only functions as a means to get closer to Allah, but also becomes an effective instrument in shaping the character of the congregation who has noble character and is ready to make a positive contribution to the wider community.

The rapid advancement of social media platforms has reshaped how people form and express their identities within digital environments, especially among university students. This research seeks to examine the extent to which personal use of social media influences the development of personal branding among students in the Digital Communication and Media Program at IPB University Vocational School. A quantitative research method with a survey approach was applied, involving 71 participants selected through random sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using an online questionnaire employing a four-point Likert scale, and the data were analyzed through various statistical tests including validity and reliability assessments, classical assumption tests, Pearson correlation, simple linear regression, and determination coefficient using SPSS software. The results demonstrate that personal engagement with social media has a significant and positive relationship with students’ personal branding. Students who post consistently, produce high-quality content, and engage positively with audiences tend to project a stronger professional persona. Overall, the findings indicate that social media serves not only as a means of communication but also as an essential medium for developing one’s reputation and professional credibility in the digital age.  

This research is motivated by the high rate of inability to read the Quran in Indonesia and the urgency of providing appropriate learning stimuli during the golden period of child development. The Al-Husna method was chosen because it emphasizes the principles of simplicity, ease, and tartil, which are considered relevant to the characteristics of early childhood. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the application of the Al-Husna method in Quran learning at PAUD Tahfidzul Qur'an Yurefi Kendari using the Goal-Oriented Evaluation Model. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The evaluation results show that the application of the Al-Husna method has met the learning objectives that have been set at PAUD Tahfidzul Qur'an Yurefi. These achievements include improving students' abilities in recognizing and pronouncing hijaiyah letters with the support of visual codes, mastery of syllables of hijaiyah letters, and understanding the punctuation system using standards according to Rasm Uthmani, achieving efficiency in the use of time and materials in the learning process, and creating a fun, active, and participatory learning environment for children. The identified challenges primarily relate to the need for educators to have a comprehensive understanding of the Al-Husna method. However, schools can address these challenges by implementing ongoing training and mentoring programs. Overall, the findings of this study indicate that the Al-Husna method is effective in building a foundation of basic Quranic reading skills and understanding in early childhood, using a child-friendly and meaningful approach. Therefore, this method can be used as a strategic alternative for teaching Quranic reading and understanding in educational institutions.

This study aims to describe dietary patterns, food consumption habits, hygiene awareness, and environmental and social factors related to digestive disorders in junior high school students. This study used a descriptive approach with a closed-ended interview method (Yes/No answers) with Thirty-five  junior high school students using 15 questions. The results showed that some students did not have consistent breakfast habits, had a high tendency to consume fried foods and sugary drinks, and demonstrated low awareness of food safety and hygiene habits such as washing hands before eating. In addition, the school environment, peer influence, and psychological well-being influence students’ eating patterns. These factors contribute to digestive problems in some students. Therefore, schools must actively participate in maintaining a clean environment, providing students with healthy food options, and providing ongoing nutritional instruction on digestive health.

In the Independent Curriculum implemented in schools starting the 2024/2025 academic year, there are Learning Outcomes (CP) that read "Students are able to modify/deconstruct literary works for creative economic purposes" and "Students are able to translate one text into another for creative economic purposes". In reality, in schools, there are still few teachers who connect literary works with economic issues, many teachers are still unfamiliar with the concept of translation, not many teachers have participated in translation training, and there is no guidebook for translating literary texts into non-literary texts or vice versa. This also applies to high school Indonesian Language teachers in Rembang Regency. Combining these two Learning Outcomes and connecting them to conditions in society, this community service conducted training on translating literary works into advertising texts for high school Indonesian Language teachers in Rembang Regency. The training was carried out with the first stage providing material on translation and advertising and the second stage providing mentoring to teachers to practice translating literary works into advertising.
