Student engagement plays a pivotal role in determining the effectiveness of Islamic Religious Education (IRE), particularly in moral education that seeks to internalize ethical values and shape students’ character. However, empirical evidence from elementary school contexts indicates that low levels of engagement often hinder meaningful learning outcomes. This study examines the issue of limited student engagement in IRE learning on Morality in Daily Social Interaction and its implications for students’ conceptual understanding. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis at SDN 38 Bonto Perak, Pangkep Regency. The findings reveal that low student engagement is primarily associated with teacher-centered instructional practices, limited use of learning media, and insufficient variation in instructional stimuli, resulting in superficial understanding of moral concepts. To address these challenges, this study proposes two integrated instructional strategies. The first is a constructivist approach through the implementation of the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model, which facilitates active participation, peer interaction, and collaborative knowledge construction. The second is a behaviorist approach through the application of positive reinforcement and varied instructional stimuli, including verbal praise, simple rewards, visual media, and context-based narratives relevant to students’ daily experiences. These strategies are expected to enhance students’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral engagement, thereby strengthening conceptual understanding and supporting the internalization of moral values in IRE learning. This study contributes to pedagogical discourse by offering a contextual instructional framework for improving student engagement in elementary-level moral education

Cervical cancer remains a major public health problem and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality among women in Indonesia. Early detection through Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) is an effective and feasible screening method at the primary health care level. However, the coverage of VIA screening among women of reproductive age (WRA) remains low. Knowledge is considered an important predisposing factor that may influence women’s motivation to undergo VIA screening. This study aimed to analyze the association between cervical cancer knowledge and motivation to undergo VIA screening among women of reproductive age. This study employed a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 105 women of reproductive age were recruited using consecutive sampling at the Payangan Community Health Center, Gianyar Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected using validated and reliable structured questionnaires measuring cervical cancer knowledge and motivation to undergo VIA screening. Univariate analysis was performed to describe respondent characteristics, while bivariate analysis using the chi-square test was applied to examine the association between knowledge and motivation at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that 61.9% of respondents had good knowledge of cervical cancer, while 52.4% demonstrated low motivation to undergo VIA screening. A statistically significant association was found between cervical cancer knowledge and motivation to undergo VIA screening (p = 0.043). Women with higher levels of knowledge tended to have greater motivation to participate in VIA screening. In conclusion, cervical cancer knowledge is significantly associated with motivation to undergo VIA screening among women of reproductive age. These findings suggest that strengthening health education interventions at primary health care facilities is essential to enhance motivation and increase participation in early cervical cancer detection programs.

The monitoring and evaluation stage, where the implementation of the BEP calculation is monitored and the fishermen's understanding of the break-even point is evaluated. Break-even point (BEP) training is expected to improve business owners' and crew members' understanding of the BEP concept and enable them to apply BEP calculations in decision-making.

Digital transformation has reshaped community life by increasing internet dependency in daily communication, financial transactions, and public services. However, this rapid development has also intensified cybersecurity risks, particularly link-based scams and the misuse of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Limited digital literacy at the family level makes communities vulnerable to phishing attacks, personal data breaches, and AI-generated fraud. This community service program aimed to strengthen digital literacy among residents of RW 03 Kalipancur, Semarang, through participatory education focusing on link scam detection and responsible AI usage. The program involved interactive lectures, case discussions, simulations, and pre-test and post-test evaluations with 18 participants from family groups, PKK cadres, and elderly residents. The results showed a significant increase in understanding, from an average pre-test score of 43% to a post-test score of 84%. Beyond knowledge improvement, participants demonstrated increased awareness and behavioral change toward safer digital practices. The findings suggest that community-based participatory approaches effectively enhance family-level digital resilience and can serve as a replicable empowerment model in other communities facing similar digital threats.
