This community service program was carried out to strengthen the ability of lecturers, students, and practitioners in understanding the role of data and statistics as the foundation for constructing scientific arguments in quantitative research. The activity originated from the limited understanding of some participants regarding the correct logical flow of research, starting from problem formulation, hypothesis development, data processing, to drawing conclusions based on analytical results. Through case-based training and interactive discussions, participants were introduced to key concepts in research methodology, such as determining variables, sampling techniques, developing measurement instruments, and applying parametric and non-parametric statistics to test hypotheses. The training emphasized that data provide factual descriptions of a phenomenon, while statistics serve as analytical tools that answer research questions objectively. The activity was conducted online with 73 participants from Universitas Pancasakti Bekasi, representing various academic backgrounds. The results indicated an improvement in participants' ability to understand statistical outputs, interpret significance levels of tests, and prepare research conclusions in a logical and structured manner. In addition, the activity contributed to enhancing methodological literacy within the academic community, encouraging a strong research culture, and maximizing the use of statistics in scientific analysis as well as professional practice. Therefore, this program has a positive impact on improving the quality of research in higher education.

The purpose of this study is to create and assess the viability and usefulness of BERASA (Learning Synonyms and Antonyms in Indonesian), an interactive learning tool for third-grade elementary school students. Research and development using the ADDIE model—which comprises the phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation—is the research methodology employed. Students from SDIT Al Kautsar Kudus in the third grade served as the study's subjects. While the practicality test was determined by teacher and student answers, the feasibility test was conducted by media and material specialists. According to the validation results, the BERASA media received a very feasible category feasibility rate of 91.6% from media experts and 88.8% from material experts. The results of the practicality test were 91.7% for teachers and 89.7% for students, both of which are classified as extremely appropriate. These findings indicate that the BERASA interactive learning materials are suitable and useful for teaching Indonesian, especially when it comes to synonyms and antonyms. They can also improve the comprehension and involvement of elementary school pupils.

Christian religious education (Christian Religious Education) teaching still lacks the capacity to facilitate students' development of LOTS and HOTS. Therefore, students need to be actively involved in the learning process. Students are unable to complete difficult-level questions due to their low-level thinking skills, but they still tend to complete lower-level questions. This study aims to integrate low-level and high-level thinking skills into the Christian Religious Education (Christian Religious Education) learning process. Using qualitative research with a library approach, the results revealed students' ability to understand Christian Religious Education material through the integration of low-level (LOTS) and high-level (HOTS) thinking skills. The study concluded that LOTS and HOTS can be integrated into Christian Religious Education (Christian Religious Education) learning, enabling students to answer both easy and difficult questions when given by educators in classroom assessments and solve problems encountered in real life. Therefore, Christian religious education needs to focus on developing these two thinking skills in order to improve the overall quality of learning.

This study aims to describe strategies for Indonesian language development through the use of Instagram, particularly the Story feature, as a medium for introducing Indonesian lexical equivalents. The study is grounded in the increasing use of foreign terms and code-mixing on social media, highlighting the need for language cultivation efforts that align with digital communication habits. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected from polls, question box responses, and user interaction metrics from the Instagram account @katasetara_. The findings indicate that respondents’ understanding of Indonesian lexical equivalents remains relatively low, as shown by the high percentage of incorrect answers for terms such as caption (57%), typo (56%), and headset (52%). By providing explanations in feed posts, the @katasetara_ account serves as an informative and engaging medium for language cultivation. This study concludes that Instagram holds strong potential as an effective platform for linguistic education when combined with interactive strategies and adherence to standard Indonesian language norms.

This research is motivated by problems related to obstacles in the ability to master English vocabulary, in which children find it very difficult to memorize English words, the accuracy of pronouncing English vocabulary delivered by the teacher, especially when memorizing vocabulary with more than one syllable as well as the presence of errors or inaccuracies in pronunciation and in answering the intended meaning during English learning activities. The reality found in the field shows that the children’s English vocabulary ability has not yet demonstrated significant success. Out of a total of 12 students, only 4 children have the expected level of ability. The purpose of this study is to describe efforts to improve children’s English vocabulary using the singing method. The benefits of this research include improving students’ English vocabulary skills, encouraging teachers to become more creative and innovative, and contributing to school quality improvement. This study uses Classroom Action Research (CAR) with two cycles, and each cycle consists of two meetings. The research was conducted at PAUD An-Nur located in East Pontianak. The improvement actions implemented showed satisfactory results. In Cycle I, children’s ability to pronounce English vocabulary reached 33%, which was still below the Minimum Mastery Criterion (MMC) of 70%. Furthermore, in Cycle II, the results reached 83%, which was already above the MMC. It can be concluded that the singing method is effective in improving children’s English vocabulary.

Early Childhood Education is a fundamental phase in the formation of a child's character and basic skills. This period, known as the golden age, is crucial for providing appropriate stimulation so that all aspects of a child's development can develop optimally. The limited learning resources at the Bajo Sayang Early Childhood Education on Boleng Island, West Manggarai Regency, drove the need for innovative, simple yet meaningful learning media. This community service activity aims to implement interactive storytelling as a learning medium that can stimulate the cognitive and social-emotional aspects of early childhood. The implementation method used a participatory and interactive approach, where children are actively involved through questions and answers, emotional expression, and supporting activities such as singing and dancing. The results of the activity indicate that the interactive storytelling method can improve children's concentration and courage in expressing opinions. Furthermore, children also demonstrate a better understanding of basic emotions such as happiness, sadness, and anger, as well as increased empathy for the story characters.
