Fine motor skills are the abilities to control small muscles for successful skill performance.  Developing fine motor skills in children is crucial to prepare them for writing upon entering formal education (elementary school). This research aimed to analyze the influence of beading body part pictures on the fine motor skill development of 5-6-year-old children at RA Mawar Ar-Rahman. This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach. The population consisted of 38 respondents, with all 38 included in the study using total sampling. The intervention was implemented over four sessions, three days apart, using the Denver Developmental Screening Test II (DDST II), observation sheets, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and beading modules as instruments. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that before the beading activity, almost half of the respondents (17 respondents, 44.7%) showed developing fine motor skills. After the beading activity, a significantly larger number of respondents (23 respondents, 60.5%) showed very good development. This indicates a significant influence of beading body part pictures on the fine motor skill development of 56-year-old children at RA Mawar Ar-Rahman (p-value 0.001 < α = 0.05). Playing stringing games can develop fine motor skills and optimize children’s development. It looks enjoyable for the children, increases their knowledge, and also encourages them to communicate with one another.

Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental component in English language learning that determines comprehension, speaking, and writing skills. However, in the context of district-level communities, including the Regional Library of Labuhan Batu, vocabulary learning still faces various challenges such as the lack of contextual teaching materials, the dominance of rote learning methods, and the limited use of local resources. To address these issues, this Community Service Program (PkM) proposes the application of lexical analysis on 100 local library documents as the basis for developing interactive media used in vocabulary training. The method employed is a community-based participatory approach, with stages including preparation, lexical analysis, media development, training, and evaluation. Corpus analysis produced 27,800 word types with 200 high-frequency words and 1,350 distinctive local vocabulary items. The interactive media developed include multimedia modules, Wordwall quizzes, mobile-based gamification, and bilingual infographics. The training was attended by 40 participants, with evaluation results showing a significant improvement in the average post-test score (76.8) compared to the pre-test (42.5), and 82.5% of participants achieving scores ≥70. Furthermore, 90% of participants reported increased motivation to learn, and 85% considered the locally based materials more relevant. Thus, this PkM provides a tangible contribution to enhancing English literacy through local vocabulary and offers an interactive learning model that can be replicated in other regional libraries in Indonesia.

This study aims to improve the inspirational story writing skills of ninth grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Paliyan, Gunungkidul Regency, through the SAVI (Somatic, Auditory, Visual, Intellectual) approach. The background of this research is the students’ low ability to express ideas coherently, meaningfully, and attractively in the form of inspirational stories. The SAVI approach is expected to make the learning process more enjoyable, active, and meaningful by involving various student learning styles. This research employs a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the research were 32 ninth-grade students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and writing skill tests. The data were analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods to assess the improvement in students’ writing skills. The results of the study indicate that the SAVI approach effectively enhances students’ inspirational story writing skills. In the first cycle, students showed initial improvements, though they had not yet reached the success criteria. After revisions in the second cycle, students' writing skills significantly improved and met the expected indicators. The improvements were evident in aspects such as text structure, language use, and idea development. Therefore, the SAVI approach is effective in teaching inspirational story writing.

In the final phase of their studies, students often experience intense psychological pressure, especially when writing their final thesis. If this academic stress is not managed optimally, it can cause mental health problems, reduce internal motivation, and lead to despair in the context of education. Hardiness personality is one of the psychological characteristics that is believed to play a crucial role in dealing with such situations. Hardiness encompasses the dimensions of control, commitment, and the ability to see challenges as opportunities, thereby encouraging individuals to persevere in the face of external pressures. This study focuses on the relationship between hardiness personality and the level of stress experienced by final-year students of the Diploma Three Nursing Study Program at Abulyatama University while writing scientific papers. This study used a correlational quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 63 students selected through proportional random sampling. The Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS) was used to measure hardiness, while the Student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI) was used to assess stress levels. Data collection took place from April 26 to May 8, 2025. To obtain valid results, data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The research findings show a significant negative correlation between hardiness personality and stress levels in the process of writing scientific papers (p=0.004; p<0.05). Students who show high levels of hardiness tend to experience lower stress during the preparation of scientific papers, while those with low hardiness are more vulnerable to high academic pressure. Based on these results, it can be concluded that increasing hardiness in students is very important as a strategy for dealing with academic demands, especially in writing scientific papers. Thus, students are expected to be able to strengthen their self-control, commitment to the learning process, and positive perspective towards various challenges.

Final-year students often face significant academic pressure, especially when writing their final assignments. If this type of stress is left unaddressed, it can have a negative impact on students' psychological well-being, academic achievement, and even physical health. Given this situation, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of applying Mindfulness, particularly the Mindful Breathing technique, in reducing stress levels among students in the Diploma Three Nursing Program at Abulyatama University who are completing their final projects. The research took place from March 10 to 25, with a population of 180 students who were in the final stage of their education, namely 177 students from the 2022 batch and 3 students from the 2021 batch. Using a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental approach, this study sampled 22 students through purposive sampling. Over two weeks, participants attended six Mindful Breathing intervention sessions, each lasting 30 minutes. Stress levels were measured using the SASS questionnaire, which has been tested for reliability with a Cronbach Alpha value of 0.945. After the intervention, the results of the paired simple t-test analysis showed a significant decrease in stress scores, with an average reduction of 11.136 points and a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). These findings confirm that the Mindful Breathing method contributes significantly to reducing stress in students. As a follow-up, students are encouraged to integrate Mindfulness practices into their daily routines to maintain mental stability, and educational institutions are expected to implement structured Mindfulness programs as a strategy for preventing academic stress.
