Meeting the nutritional needs of school-age children is an important factor in supporting their health and academic achievement, especially for school children who spend most of their time at school. One form of education about balanced nutrition introduced by the Indonesian government is the Isi Piringku (Fill My Plate) program. This program serves as a dietary guide that emphasizes balanced food consumption in each serving. The main objective of this study was to understand the extent of the influence of educational media such as leaflets, audiovisual videos, and games, considering the use of flashcards in conveying the concept of balanced nutrition and encouraging healthy eating behavior changes in children. Through this approach, the study sought to identify the most effective media so that it could be used as a model for nutrition education in elementary schools. The results of this study found that there was a significant increase in knowledge between the pretest and posttest conducted on the three media (p < 0.05), while a significant change in attitude only occurred in the Leaflet and Video media (p < 0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis test also showed that there was no significant difference between the three educational media (p > 0.05).

This training supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). The community service activity follows the UNJ Community Service Strategic Plan (PPM Renstra) 2021–2025, focusing on education and environmental initiatives. A needs analysis conducted at SMAN 1 Muara Gembong, particularly in the school canteen, revealed that many food items sold lacked attention to health and hygiene, and did not optimize local food products. Based on this, training on personal hygiene education for the school community is needed to support school entrepreneurship programs. The training uses a practical approach integrated with digital technology through poster creation. Results showed that participants increased their awareness of health and hygiene, which improved the quality of their entrepreneurial products. The training included material on personal hygiene in entrepreneurship, with educational posters as the output. Evaluation was done using questionnaires, with data analyzed descriptively. Expected outcomes include the publication of an article, mass media exposure, YouTube video, partnership recognition, intellectual property rights registration, educational posters, and a profile of personal hygiene education for the school community in canteen management.

Educational evaluation is crucial for assessing student success and the effectiveness of educational programs. Formative and summative evaluations have distinct objectives. Formative evaluation focuses on the ongoing learning process, while summative evaluation aims to assess the final learning outcomes. The Scriven model combines both types of evaluation to improve student learning outcomes. This article discusses the application of the Scriven model to improve Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning outcomes at Ngrukeman Elementary School, Bantul. This study emphasizes the importance of evaluation in shaping students' character, developing their thinking, and enhancing social awareness. Educational evaluation aims to assess not only cognitive aspects but also affective and psychomotor aspects. With effective evaluation, teachers can identify students' strengths and weaknesses and design better learning. This contributes to improved student achievement and the overall quality of education. In this way, educational evaluation becomes a highly effective tool for improving and optimizing the learning process, ultimately supporting the achievement of comprehensive educational goals.

This study, entitled "Dynamics in Village Leadership (A Study of Village Apparatus Recruitment in Weseben Village, Malaka Regency)," aims to analyze the leadership style of village heads in the apparatus recruitment process, uncover the growing practices of patronage and clientelism, and examine their implications for the implementation of good governance principles at the village level. Theoretically, this research is based on village leadership theory, patronage-clientelism theory, and the concept of good governance, which emphasizes the values ​​of transparency, accountability, and public participation in village governance.The method used was a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with village heads, village officials, traditional leaders, members of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), and the community, and was supported by field observations and documentation studies. The results indicate that: (1) the leadership style of village heads in Weseben is dominant and personalistic, with the village head retaining full control over the apparatus recruitment process, (2) apparatus recruitment places greater emphasis on loyalty and personal closeness than on professional competence, (3) The practice of patronage and clientelism is strongly evident in the relationship between the village head as patron and village officials as clients, which is built through kinship ties and reciprocal interests, (4) decisions regarding the appointment of officials are often tinged with elements of nepotism and collusion to strengthen the village head's political support base, and (5) the recruitment system is not yet oriented towards the principle of a merit system, namely a selection system based on individual ability, achievement, and integrity, as implemented in professional governance.Thus, it can be concluded that the dynamics of village leadership in Weseben are still strongly influenced by the practice of patronage and clientelism, which hinders the realization of democratic, transparent, and accountable village governance.

This research is inspired by the extraordinary success of the domestic animated film titled Jumbo, which managed to set a new record and trigger a wave of overwhelmingly positive sentiment responses on the Instagram social media platform. Its main focus is to provide a deep qualitative interpretation of audience sentiment data that was previously collected and quantitatively evaluated by Prasetia (2025) from 764 original comments, which were then filtered down to 221 samples. The approach applied involves secondary data analysis by reviewing the frequency of Prasetia's data through the lens of social identity theory and collective efficacy theory. The results of the analysis reveal that the prevalence of positive sentiment at 68.7% does not merely reflect a simple evaluation of the film but also serves as a fundamental expression of shared pride and in-group preference. Expressions of support that emphasize appreciation for the achievement and national pride over the work of local creators act as a tool for strengthening social bonds, reinforcing the national identity linked to achievements in the film sector while also demonstrating the audience's collective belief in the potential of the domestic animation industry (mastery experience). Practically, the recommendation for local film promotion strategies is to highlight narratives about shared accomplishment and national pride to build audience loyalty and continuous interaction in the digital environment.
