The development of digital technology has provided many conveniences, especially in terms of access to information, communication, and financial services. However, behind these benefits there are great risks, one of which is the misuse of personal data that is rampant through the practice of illegal online loans (pinjol). This phenomenon is a serious threat to society, especially students, who are often targeted due to the lack of digital literacy and lack of awareness about the importance of personal data protection. Illegal loans not only cause financial losses, but also have an impact on psychological and social pressure. This Community Service activity was carried out at STISIPOL Silas Papare Jayapura with the main goal of providing legal and practical education regarding personal data protection as well as preventing illegal loan trapping. Activity methods include interactive legal counseling, group discussions, and case study simulations tailored to student experience. With a participatory approach, participants are encouraged to actively ask, analyze, and find solutions to problems they may face. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in student knowledge about the basic concept of data security, signs of illegal loans, and preventive measures that can be taken. Participants also showed a higher critical awareness of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of personal information, including the wise use of digital media. In addition, case study simulations are able to strengthen students' practical skills in identifying potential risks and strategies to deal with the threat of illegal lending in their surrounding environment.

Schools are not only institutions for the transfer of knowledge but also environments that play a crucial role in shaping students’ behavior and instilling positive habits, one of which is environmental care. One form of environmental concern that can be cultivated from an early age is the discipline of disposing of waste properly. However, SD Negeri Jambewangi, located in Dusun Pesantren, has not yet fully implemented effective waste sorting practices. Waste disposal is still carried out without distinguishing between organic and inorganic waste, which may have negative impacts on the school environment. To address this issue, community service activities were carried out by KKN students from Universitas Tidar through outreach programs and the distribution of sorted waste bins. The socialization activity applied the Extend Parallel Process Model (EPPM) communication strategy using a Severity Model approach, which emphasized the dangers and consequences of improper waste management practices. During the sessions, students were encouraged to discuss and identify various types of waste, as well as the potential environmental and health impacts associated with them. Direct practice was also provided by encouraging students to actively participate in sorting waste before disposal into the designated bins. The implementation of this program showed a positive impact, as students demonstrated an increased understanding of waste management and began to practice sorting waste more consistently. The provision of separate bins for organic and inorganic waste further facilitated this new habit. It is expected that the discipline of sorting and properly disposing of waste will continue to be applied by students, teachers, and the entire school community. Such continuous practices can foster collective awareness, contribute to maintaining environmental cleanliness, and provide long-term benefits not only for the school but also for the surrounding community.

The phenomenon of online gambling and human trafficking crimes that afflict children is a serious problem in Papua, especially among teenagers who are vulnerable to falling into it due to a lack of understanding of the law and weak social control. The lack of access to correct information and low legal literacy make them more easily influenced by irresponsible parties. Therefore, this community service aims to provide practical legal education through the establishment of an Anti-Online Gambling and Trafficking in Persons Law Clinic to students of Al Ihsan Yapis Kotaraja Junior High School. The service method is carried out in a participatory manner by actively involving students in various activities. Activities include interactive legal counseling delivered in simple language, discussions about real cases relevant to the daily lives of teenagers, and simulations of handling legal problems. With this approach, participants not only gain theoretical knowledge, but also practical experience in recognizing and dealing with legal problems that they have the potential to face in the surrounding environment. The results of the service showed an increase in participants' understanding of the legal consequences of online gambling and child trafficking. In addition, students demonstrate a higher critical awareness of the risks that may occur, as well as skills in recognizing signs of suspicious behavior that lead to criminal acts.

This study aims to examine the influence of perceptions of security and lifestyle on the interest of Sriwijaya State Polytechnic students in using mobile banking services. The rapid development of digital technology has brought significant changes in various aspects of life, including the banking sector. Mobile banking is now one of the main choices for people because it offers convenience, flexibility, and time efficiency in conducting financial transactions. However, the level of adoption of this service is not solely determined by the availability of technology, but also by the extent to which users feel the system is secure and fits their lifestyle. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected from 100 respondents who were students of Sriwijaya State Polytechnic through an incidental sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software version 26.0. The independent variables in this study were perceptions of security and lifestyle, while the dependent variable was interest in using mobile banking. The results showed that both perceptions of security and lifestyle have a significant influence on students' interest in using mobile banking, both partially and simultaneously. Together, these two variables contributed 63.3% to the variation in interest in using mobile banking. This indicates that the higher students' perceptions of service security and the more relevant the service is to their lifestyle, the greater their tendency to actively use mobile banking. This finding is important for banks in formulating strategies to increase mobile banking adoption, especially among students, a potential digital generation.

Breakfast is an important habit that plays a major role in meeting children's energy and nutritional needs. The energy obtained from breakfast is essential for daily activities, including learning and playing, enabling children to achieve optimal performance both physically and cognitively. Furthermore, breakfast habits also contribute to children's nutritional status, reflecting the balance between nutritional intake and needs. However, the reality shows that in Indonesia, approximately 40% of children still do not have breakfast before going to school, potentially affecting their nutritional status. This study aims to determine the relationship between breakfast habits and the nutritional status of students at Muhammadiyah Kayen Elementary School. The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design and utilized primary data. The study population was all 225 students in grades I to IV. Of these, 112 students were selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire to explore breakfast habits and anthropometric measurements of height and weight to determine nutritional status. Data analysis was performed using the Fisher exact test. The results showed a p-value of 0.742 (p > 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between breakfast habits and students' nutritional status. A total of 79.5% of students had good breakfast habits, while 20.5% were classified as adequate. Meanwhile, the students' nutritional status consisted of good nutrition (57.1%), overnutrition (19.7%), obesity (11.6%), malnutrition (8%), and undernutrition (3.6%). Thus, it can be concluded that breakfast habits are not significantly related to the nutritional status of students at the school.

The low level of reading literacy in remote areas, such as the Muna Barat Daya Regency, poses a significant challenge in basic education. One innovation proposed to address this issue is the implementation of Scramble Fun Learning, an educational game-based approach designed to enhance reading literacy skills in students at SD Negeri 1Weet. This community service activity was carried out in two stages: a theoretical stage, which provided foundational understanding about the importance of literacy and gamification approaches, and a practical stage involving both teachers and fifth-grade students in word arrangement activities. Scramble Fun Learning combines game elements with a gamification approach by having students arrange words from random letters. The main objective is to train vocabulary recognition, strengthen reading comprehension, and increase student motivation to learn. In this activity, students are challenged to form words or sentences within a limited time, which not only stimulates their creativity but also makes the learning process more enjoyable and engaging. This method enables students to learn while playing, which is particularly effective in overcoming the boredom that often occurs in conventional learning. The results of this activity showed a significant improvement in student enthusiasm, active participation, and literacy skills. Many students who were previously disinterested in reading activities became more enthusiastic and motivated. Despite limitations in resources and time, the activity was still effectively implemented, thanks to creative adjustments made by the implementing team to ensure the material and activities were well received by both students and teachers. Overall, these findings indicate that Scramble Fun Learning is a highly potential and applicable approach to improving students' reading literacy, especially in areas with limited educational resources. This approach not only enhances literacy skills but also builds students' interest and motivation to continue learning.

This research was conducted with the main purpose of examining and analyzing the specific needs of elementary school teachers in designing and implementing a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model that is grounded in the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, with the ultimate goal of enhancing students’ critical thinking skills as a crucial competency in the 21st century. The study is rooted in the understanding that critical thinking is not only a fundamental learning outcome but also a key skill for students to thrive in modern society, while at the same time recognizing the current limitations in technology integration within elementary-level PBL practices. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, involving a purposive sample of 100 elementary school teachers who provided data through structured questionnaires and interviews. The analysis focused on five core indicators, namely teachers’ initial knowledge of TPACK-based PBL, the availability of facilities to support its implementation, teachers’ participation in relevant professional training, the degree of TPACK integration in classroom learning, and the actual application of PBL in teaching practice. Findings revealed that only 36% of teachers possessed sufficient awareness of TPACK-based PBL, 40% reported having adequate facilities in their schools, 40% had previously joined related training, 36% had integrated TPACK into their instruction, and 50% had applied PBL in their classrooms. These results clearly demonstrate a significant gap between existing practices and the ideal conditions needed for maximizing the potential of TPACK-based PBL. Consequently, the study emphasizes the urgency of developing and strengthening this model by improving teacher knowledge, ensuring continuous professional development opportunities, and promoting the effective use of technology to foster innovative, contextual, and student-centered learning that can systematically nurture critical thinking abilities in elementary school students.

This study aims to analyze the influence of derivative skills and literacy in economic mathematics on investment decisions of students in the Management Study Program. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to students. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple regression tests to determine the extent to which the studied variables influence investment decisions. The results of the multiple regression test indicate that derivative skills and economic mathematics literacy simultaneously have a significant influence on students' investment decisions. The coefficient of determination (R²) value is 0.551, which means that 55.1% of the variability in investment decisions can be explained by these two independent variables, while the remaining 44.9% is explained by other factors not examined in this study. This figure indicates that students' ability to understand and use economic mathematics concepts, especially in terms of derivatives, as well as their financial literacy, play an important role in forming rational and informed investment decisions. The results of this study indicate that mastery of economic mathematics concepts, especially derivative skills, has a direct impact on students' ability to make better and more logical investment decisions. On the other hand, financial literacy also influences how students assess and manage investments, resulting in wiser decisions. Therefore, it is important for educational institutions to integrate mathematical economics and financial literacy into their curricula to help students make more rational investment decisions and reduce potential future financial risks. Furthermore, this study also suggests the need to improve students' understanding of basic concepts in mathematical economics and financial literacy. Management study programs can strengthen their curricula by providing more in-depth training in the applications of mathematical economics, such as the use of derivatives in investment analysis.

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered teaching approach, where the learning process begins with a real-life problem relevant to everyday life. PBL encourages students to actively seek information, analyze data, and formulate solutions through group work and discussion. This approach not only develops critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills but also increases students' independence and responsibility for their own learning process. This article aims to examine how PBL is implemented in two main curricula in Indonesia: the 2013 Curriculum (K13) and the Independent Curriculum. In the 2013 Curriculum, PBL is integrated through a scientific approach and project-based activities, where students are invited to explore concepts and theories through investigative activities. Meanwhile, the Independent Curriculum provides more space for teachers and students to design contextual and personalized learning activities, making the implementation of PBL more flexible and adaptive to local needs and student characteristics. The literature review results indicate that both curricula effectively utilize PBL principles to enhance students' cognitive and metacognitive skills. The Independent Curriculum, in particular, places greater emphasis on independent learning, self-reflection, and the development of student interests through differentiated learning. Thus, the application of PBL within the context of the Independent Curriculum has proven to be more adaptive to the dynamics of 21st-century learning. In conclusion, the use of Problem-Based Learning in both curricula has significant potential to enhance students' learning abilities, as long as the approach is tailored to school conditions, student characteristics, and is supported by competent teachers and training in implementing this method effectively.

Pesantren, as an Islamic educational institution that has long been a center of religious learning and character development, has great potential in advancing entrepreneurship based on local wisdom. The role of pesantren is not only limited to teaching religious studies, but also includes coaching students to have economic independence and competitiveness in the midst of the Times. Local wisdom that grows around pesantren can be an important capital in developing businesses that are relevant to the needs of the community. However, optimizing the function of pesantren in producing students who are independent and able to compete still faces various challenges. One of the main obstacles is the development of Human Resources (HR) which is not only oriented to mastering the theory, but also on practical skills and understanding of local values. Without the right strategy, such great potential is difficult to realize sustainably. This study aims to explore strategies that can be applied in the development of human resources in order to improve the performance of local wisdom-based entrepreneurship in the boarding school. The research method used is a qualitative approach with case studies on several boarding schools that have succeeded in forming productive business units by utilizing local potential, such as agriculture, fisheries, crafts, and food product processing. Research findings indicate that several crucial factors in building entrepreneurial human resources in pesantren include: strengthening character and work ethic, hands-on practice-based training in the field, collaboration with local business actors for knowledge transfer and market networking, as well as historical and philosophical understanding of local wisdom values. The success of entrepreneurship development in pesantren depends on the integration of spiritual aspects, practical skills, and knowledge about the potential of the region. Based on the results of the study, an integrated entrepreneurship training model that combines science, faith, and concrete action is recommended. This Model is expected to produce great pesantren entrepreneurs, competitive, and able to adapt and face global challenges without leaving their identity and noble values.
