Bullying in Indonesian educational settings remains a serious problem that requires widespread attention. Poor legal understanding among children and adolescents, coupled with suboptimal child protection regulations, increases the risk of violence in schools. To address this issue, a "Fight Bullying" outreach program was conducted in Sumeith Pasinaro Village, aimed at improving students' understanding of the definition, forms, impacts, and legal consequences of bullying. This program utilized a qualitative descriptive approach and a participatory education model, involving 47 students from Sumeith Pasinaro Elementary School and Elpaputih 2 Junior High School. The methods employed included material delivery, interactive discussions, and assessments to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the legal education provided. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in students' understanding of bullying, with an average level of understanding reaching 80.83%. Students were able not only to identify the types of bullying but also to understand the long-term impacts on both victims and perpetrators. This outreach program also helped students understand the legal regulations governing bullying and encouraged them to report or stop such acts. This program emphasizes the importance of a planned and sustainable approach involving teachers and parents to prevent bullying, as well as creating a safe learning environment and supporting child protection.

This community service was carried out at SMAS PGRI 1 Mojokerto City with the main goal of improving student discipline through the application of Japanese-style discipline culture. This activity is designed in a structured manner to have a real and sustainable impact on student behavior and the integrity of educational institutions. The method used is a participatory and applicative approach, so that students not only passively receive information, but also actively engage in the process of learning, reflection, and discipline practice. This approach emphasizes the direct involvement of students in activities that foster awareness, responsibility, and positive habits that support the creation of a conducive learning environment. The results of the implementation of activities are divided into three main categories. First, the short-term results seen immediately after the activity are increased students' motivation and understanding of the importance of discipline. Second, the medium-term results that appear within 1-3 months are in the form of real behavioral changes, such as punctuality, neatness, and compliance with school rules. Third, long-term results that contribute to strengthening the integrity of the institution as a school with a high discipline image. Thus, this community service is expected to be able to become a model for implementing a discipline culture that is effective, sustainable, and relevant to the needs of education in Indonesia.

This study aims to determine the influence of the implementation of the Independent Curriculum management and teacher teaching strategies on improving student character at SMK Negeri 1 Sangatta Utara.

The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.768 indicates that the two independent variables together contributed 76.8% to student character improvement, while the remaining 23.2% was influenced by factors outside the study. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Independent Curriculum management has a more dominant influence than teacher teaching strategies on student character development.

As a vocational education institution, SMK Swadhipa 1 Natar is required to provide adequate facilities to support the development of its students' technical and practical skills. Although some facilities are already available, student complaints remain regarding the condition, availability, and utilization of these services, particularly those related to information technology.This study aims to analyze the level of student satisfaction with information technology services at SMK Swadhipa 1 Natar using a combination of Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) methods. The study was conducted through a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents selected using stratified random sampling techniques. The data collected were analyzed to determine the overall satisfaction score and identify factors of information technology services that were a priority for improvement. The results of the CSI analysis showed that the level of student satisfaction with school information technology services was in the good category, with an average score of 82%. Furthermore, the results of the IPA analysis revealed that information technology services such as computer services in the school lab, wifi networks, and school websites consisting of school exam applications, student registration applications and information about the school on the website were in the top priority quadrant because they had a high level of importance but their performance was still low. Based on these results, it can be concluded that although in general students stated that they were quite satisfied with the information technology services available, there were several important aspects, especially technology-based information technology services, that needed more attention from the school. Thus, recommendations for improving technological infrastructure and periodic evaluation of educational information technology services can help SMK Swadhipa 1 Natar in improving the quality of educational services and student satisfaction. 

This study investigates the impact of GeoGebra-assisted collaborative learning on students' understanding of function graphs. Function graphs are fundamental in mathematics education, yet many students struggle to grasp the relationships between variables, primarily due to traditional teaching methods that focus on procedural skills rather than conceptual understanding. To address this challenge, the study incorporates GeoGebra, a dynamic mathematics software, alongside collaborative learning strategies. The research utilizes a quasi-experimental design involving high school students who had previously struggled with function graphs. The results demonstrate that the experimental group, which engaged in GeoGebra-assisted collaborative learning, showed a significant improvement of 27% in their post-test scores, compared to just a 6% improvement in the control group using traditional methods. The study highlights the effectiveness of GeoGebra in fostering a deeper conceptual understanding of mathematical functions by enabling students to visualize and manipulate graphs interactively. Additionally, collaborative learning encouraged peer interaction, reinforcing the learning process and promoting better problem-solving skills. The findings suggest that combining interactive tools like GeoGebra with collaborative learning techniques can enhance students’ mathematical comprehension, leading to improved engagement and performance in mathematics education.

Behind the success of the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG), there are several problems related to the health factors of the program targets, namely, there are several cases of allergies that occur in schools, inadequate understanding of allergen management owned by food processing vendors, and the high cost of laboratory tests and the process that takes a long time. So, to overcome these problems, an application is proposed that can help detect allergens in food products using data mining and machine learning approaches. SVM and AdaBoost algorithms each have advantages that can be used to help build an optimal allergen detection model. This research uses a cross-validation model validation method with a value of K = 10 to help improve the performance of the model built. In this study, from the entire fold, an average accuracy value of 98.74% was obtained. To evaluate the model built, this research has also conducted several new data inputs, and in each new data input, the accuracy value is obtained above 99%. This indicates that the model built, namely the combination of SVM and AdaBoost algorithms with the cross-validation model validation method, produces high accuracy, so this model can greatly assist the allergen detection process in food products.

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing the continuance intention of Al-Kautsar Senior High School students in using metaverse-based learning media. The background of this research lies in the rapid adoption of immersive technologies in education, while students’ levels of acceptance have not yet been fully understood. The objective is to identify the antecedents of satisfaction, which subsequently influence continuous intention. The research model examines the effects of perceived interactivity, perceived sociability, perceived enjoyment, perceived ease of use, perceived security, and social influence on satisfaction. A quantitative approach was employed by distributing questionnaires to students, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that satisfaction is a very strong and statistically significant predictor of continuous intention to use metaverse applications (β = 0.716, p < 0.001). The six hypothesized antecedent variables were not found to have a significant individual effect on satisfaction. In conclusion, for digital native students at Al-Kautsar Senior High School, factors such as ease of use, interactivity, and enjoyment have shifted from being drivers of satisfaction to becoming basic expectations (hygiene factors). Satisfaction itself emerges as the primary determinant, likely influenced by more substantive elements such as content quality or pedagogical design rather than merely the technical features of the platform.

The development of social media as part of digital technology has significantly transformed patterns of social interaction among adolescents in Indonesia. Social media no longer functions solely as a medium for communication and self-expression, but also as a social space that influences behavioral formation, including deviant and criminal behavior. This study aims to analyze the influence of social media on juvenile criminal behavior from a criminological perspective, with particular attention to social learning processes and the weakening of social control in digital environments. This research employs a qualitative method using a literature study approach by examining scientific journals, official reports, and statistical data related to social media use and adolescent behavior. The findings indicate that high intensity of social media use, exposure to negative content, and the normalization of aggressive behavior in digital spaces contribute to increased vulnerability of adolescents to criminal behaviors such as cyberbullying, online aggression, and other forms of deviance. Within the framework of Social Learning Theory, social media serves as a medium for behavioral learning through mechanisms of observation, imitation, and social reinforcement, while Social Control Theory highlights how weak supervision by families and educational institutions amplifies the risk of deviant behavior. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of preventive, non-penal approaches through strengthening social control, improving digital literacy, and enhancing the active role of families and schools to minimize the risk of juvenile criminal behavior in the digital era.

This community service project aims to develop children's potential through the art of coloring as an effective educational tool to enhance social and cultural understanding. The activity was held at Jl. Binalatung, RT 11, Pantai Amal, Tarakan Timur, a coastal area that is also a border region. The background for this project is the limited access of children in this area to creative activities that could support their personal development and awareness of social and cultural diversity. A coloring competition was chosen as the approach, involving 30 participants from kindergarten to elementary school age, many of whom do not continue to formal education.Using a participatory method, children were not only invited to color but were also given an understanding of the meanings and cultural values embedded in each image. Furthermore, the activity was designed to foster a sense of togetherness, sportsmanship, and self-confidence. The results showed very high enthusiasm from the participants. They were not only able to produce beautiful artworks but also demonstrated an increased understanding of the importance of appreciating differences and cultural diversity. This report proves that the art of coloring plays a crucial role as a tool to bridge the knowledge gap and foster cultural awareness, especially for children in remote and border areas who have limited access to education and educational entertainment. Therefore, it is recommended that similar programs be continued with more varied materials to support the holistic development of children in coastal regions.

MA Sakti Ngebel, a secondary education institution in Ngebel District, Ponorogo Regency, has excellent potential to develop more context-based chemistry learning. MA Sakti students have previously struggled to understand fundamental chemistry concepts, particularly in relating them to everyday phenomena. Students tend to memorize formulas without understanding the meanings and applications of the concepts. Therefore, an effort is needed to implement simple, applicable, and school-specific learning innovations. One relevant approach is the implementation of Fun Chemistry Learning based chemistry practicums. The purpose of this community service (PKM) activity is to strengthen the understanding of chemistry concepts at MA Sakti Ngebel Ponorogo through FCL-based chemistry practicums. The stages of this PKM activity are program socialization, training, implementation of FCL learning innovations, mentoring, evaluation, and program sustainability. The N-gain analysis of the pretest and posttest results indicates that the increase in students’ knowledge of chemistry concepts falls in the moderate range. The results of the overall satisfaction questionnaire showed that the lowest level of satisfaction was in the aspect of time management and events during the PKM activities (45% of students considered it very satisfactory), while the highest level of satisfaction was in the aspect of motivation to learn chemistry after the PKM activities and the effectiveness of the FCL training carried out (both of which 70% of students considered it very satisfactory).

Menstrual cycle disturbances are common side effects of injectable hormonal contraception and may affect contraceptive satisfaction and continuation. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the duration of injectable contraceptive use and menstrual cycle disturbances among injectable contraceptive acceptors. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted at TPMB Maya from September to October 2025. A total of 67 injectable contraceptive users were included using a total sampling technique. The independent variable was the duration of injectable contraceptive use, categorized as less than one year and more than one year, while the dependent variable was menstrual cycle disturbance. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through univariate analysis and Kendall’s tau-b correlation test. The results showed that most respondents were aged 20–35 years (86.6%), had a senior high school education (55.2%), and were multiparous (77.6%). Most respondents had used injectable contraception for more than one year (82.1%), and 74.6% experienced menstrual cycle disturbances. Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between the duration of injectable contraceptive use and menstrual cycle disturbances (τ = −0.264; p = 0.032). The study concludes that longer use of injectable contraception is associated with a higher occurrence of menstrual cycle disturbances, emphasizing the importance of duration-based counseling in family planning services.

Creative writing plays an important role in developing students’ imagination, self- expression, and language competence in the digital era. However, many learners still struggle with generating ideas, maintaining motivation, and gaining confidence in writing. This study aims to analyze how the use of Wattpad, viewed through the Social Constructivist framework, can enhance students’ creative writing skills, motivation, and confidence. This research applies a qualitative descriptive approach supported by survey data from 30 high school students who actively use Wattpad. The results show that 95.7% of respondents have used Wattpad before, with most of them using it to read and learn from other writers. A total of 60.9% of respondents stated that reading other writers’ works was the most helpful for improving their writing, while 17.4% highlighted peer comments and feedback as additional support. Despite its benefits, 43.5% of students mentioned difficulty in organizing ideas as their main challenge. Open-ended responses revealed that positive feedback and community interaction on Wattpad helped increase students’ motivation and confidence in writing. The discussion emphasizes that the social interaction and feedback features of Wattpad foster collaborative learning, aligning with Vygotsky’s concepts of scaffolding and the Zone of Proximal Development. These findings suggest that integrating Wattpad into writing instruction can effectively enhance students’ creativity, critical thinking, and confidence in producing literary works.
