This study aims to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a learning module designed for X grade students (Phase E) at SMAN 4 Palangkaraya, focusing on the Christian values of love, justice, and tolerance within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. The implementation involved classroom teaching using lectures, group discussions, and quizzes to foster active and meaningful learning experiences. The objectives included ensuring students' understanding of the core values, developing their ability to articulate these values, and achieving a minimum score on quizzes. The methodology included direct teaching, observation of student responses and engagement, and evaluation of learning outcomes through cognitive and affective assessments. Findings revealed that 90% of students actively participated in discussions, and all groups engaged in answering quiz questions. The use of rewards notably enhanced student enthusiasm and participation. Despite the overall success, some students did not achieve the highest performance level. The implications suggest that integrating technology into the learning process and thorough preparation of teaching materials are crucial for enhancing student outcomes. This study contributes to the understanding of how Christian values can be effectively integrated into the curriculum to promote holistic student development, aligning with the Pancasila Student Profile, which emphasizes faith, moral integrity, global diversity, and collaboration.

This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to improve artificial intelligence (AI) literacy in students majoring in Visual Communication Design (DKV) at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Palembang through Canva-based training. The development of AI technology has brought about a significant change in the world of graphic design, where features such as Magic Design, Text-to-Image, and Background Remover are now widely used to support the creative process. However, most vocational school students are still passive users, lacking an understanding of the AI principles behind the technology. Through a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Active Learning approach with a demo–practice–reflection model, this activity is designed so that students are not only able to use the AI features in Canva, but also understand the work concepts, benefits, and ethics of using them. The activity was conducted over two days, involving 30 DKV class XI students. The evaluation of the results showed a significant increase in the aspects of understanding AI concepts (48%), motivation to learn design (35%), and creativity of works (32%). Students also show an increase in learning independence and digital ethical awareness. These results confirm that AI-based learning through Canva is effective in building AI literacy, creativity, and student readiness to face the technology-based creative industry. This activity is recommended to be expanded to teachers and other departments to strengthen digital literacy in the vocational education environment.  

The low understanding of nutritious food choices among elementary school children remains a problem because it impacts their health, learning abilities, and future eating habits. A similar situation was found at SDN 3 Picungremuk, where students often choose flavored foods without considering their nutritional content. This community service activity aims to improve students' nutritional knowledge through education on the concept of "Isi Piringku" (My Plate). The implementation stages include identifying needs through observation and discussions with teachers, developing materials tailored to children's development, conducting interactive socialization, and practicing how to assemble a balanced meal plate using visual media. Evaluation was carried out through pre- and post-tests accompanied by food selection simulations. The output showed a significant increase in understanding. Before the education, most students were unable to combine foods correctly. After the activity, all participants were able to assemble a meal plate according to the principles of balanced nutrition. These findings prove that the use of visual media and hands-on practice is an effective method for instilling healthy eating habits in elementary school children.

This community‑engagement study aimed to revitalize the Qur’anic ecosystem in Sempu Village (Ngancar District, Kediri Regency) by fostering inter‑generational synergy—among families, youth communities, and TPQ (Qur’an Study Groups)—using an asset‑based community development (ABCD) approach. The program identified and mobilised local assets such as TPQ students/alumni, active youth, community leaders, mosque/TPQ facilities, and locally established networks to strengthen Qur’an mentoring with a psycho‑spiritual dimension. The research employed a qualitative intervention method executed in three phases: asset mapping & diagnosis; design & implementation of the intervention; and program evaluation & reflection. Results indicated that youth attendance increased from 45 % to 78 %; the number of participating families rose from 18 to 32; and 90 % of TPQ administrators expressed the intention to continue the inter‑generational forum model on a regular basis. Discussion revealed that the intervention did more than improve attendance—it reinforced a sense of ownership, social connectedness, and internalization of Qur’anic values (spiritual well‑being). The psycho‑spiritual approach proved effective in strengthening youth identity and building a sustainable Qur’anic community culture. Limitations include the short duration of the intervention (12 weeks) and persistent communication barriers between generations related to time constraints and family workloads. Recommendations include conducting long‑term measurements, adapting the mentoring modules to accommodate family/youth time issues, and replicating the model in other villages with different characteristics.

Food-based micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in supporting household economic growth, including in Sialang Village, Bangkinang Subdistrict. One of the local businesses, “Keripik Cabe dan Mie Kuning Bu Inun,” produces cassava chips using traditional frying methods, which result in high oil absorption, inconsistent quality, short shelf life, and low production efficiency. Limited knowledge of food processing technology, sanitation, and food safety standards further hinders business development. This community service program aims to address these challenges through the application of low-oil frying technology, training on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), production assistance, and periodic evaluation. The implementation method includes field observation, technical training, technology demonstration, production mentoring, and monitoring. The results show significant improvements in product quality, indicated by lower oil content, crispier texture, brighter color, and longer shelf life. Efficiency in oil usage and process stability also increased. Moreover, the knowledge and skills of MSME actors in sanitation, food safety, and production management improved considerably. Overall, the program successfully enhanced the competitiveness of the MSME, strengthened production sustainability, and provided positive economic impacts. This initiative can serve as a replicable model for other food MSMEs facing similar challenges.

This study aims to develop and implement a web-based Library Information System as a means to enhance literacy within the Kampoeng Baca Pelangi (KBP) Community. The system is designed to simplify library data management processes that were previously performed manually, including book cataloging, member registration, borrowing, returning, and the generation of operational reports. The development process follows the Waterfall method, starting from requirement analysis, system design, implementation, up to system testing. The results indicate that the system successfully meets the primary needs of the library administrators, based on feasibility testing involving internal KBP respondents. Evaluation through a Likert-scale questionnaire produced a score of 94%, indicating that the system falls into the “Highly Feasible” category for use. Features such as book data management, borrowing/return transaction processing, collection search, and report generation are proven to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of library operations.
