This community service program aims to improve the basic accounting literacy of the students (santri) at Pondok Pesantren Nurmadani NW Montong Lisung as a strategic effort to strengthen their financial independence. The program was initiated in response to the limited understanding of systematic financial management among santri, despite their involvement in various economic activities within the pesantren, such as the cooperative, canteen, and student organizations. The activities were carried out through four main stages: needs assessment, socialization of basic accounting concepts, financial record-keeping training, and evaluation accompanied by follow-up assistance. Interactive learning methods and experiential learning approaches were applied to ensure that participants not only understood theoretical concepts but were also able to practice them directly. The results showed a significant increase in the santris’ knowledge of the basic accounting equation, general journal, ledger posting, and preparation of simple financial statements. In addition to improved knowledge, there was also a positive shift in attitudes toward the importance of transparency, accountability, and sound financial governance. Several pesantren units began implementing the financial recording formats introduced during the training. Overall, this program successfully enhanced the technical skills and financial awareness of the santri and contributed to strengthening the pesantren’s financial management practices in a more professional and sustainable manner.

This study examines the implementation of deep learning integrated with Problem Based Learning (PBL) in Fiqh subjects at MAS Al-Mashuriyah Pagelaran Cianjur. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were gathered through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation across six instructional meetings in grades XI and XII. The results show that the combination of deep learning and PBL substantially increases students’ active participation and encourages them to think more critically, especially when studying purification (thaharah) materials. Through group discussions, case-based problems, and guided exploration of Islamic legal sources, students were able to connect theoretical concepts to everyday religious practices. This approach allowed learning to shift from memorization toward deeper conceptual understanding and contextual application. The teacher served primarily as a facilitator, providing direction and scaffolding while giving students space to analyze, argue, and draw conclusions independently. Overall, the findings indicate that integrating deep learning with PBL is an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing the quality of Fiqh learning at the madrasah level, as it not only improves comprehension but also fosters analytical thinking, collaboration, and the ability to apply Islamic legal principles in practical situations.

This paper focuses on a critical reflection on the text of Psalm 1:1-6, specifically introducing two opposing paths between "the way of the righteous" and "the way of the wicked." A critical approach to this text is carried out by considering interpretive and contextual aspects, and finding the meanings contained therein by connecting the experiences of modern-millennial humans. This writing uses qualitative methods and a library research approach, to the Bible, and the book of Psalms 1-72, as well as the book Traces of God's Salvation Work: An Introduction and the Ins and Outs of the Old Testament Scriptures. This writing involves critical reflection on the structure of the text, key words, and moral messages hidden in Psalm 1:1-6. In addition, this paper also explores the social and spiritual implications of understanding "the way of the righteous" and "the way of the wicked" in the context of modern-millennial society. The main finding in this writing is to provide deeper insight into how the concepts expressed in the Book of Psalms 1:1-6 can be applied in the lives of modern-millennial humans, as well as how the moral messages from the text can be relevant in guiding individuals in choosing the right path in life.

This research addresses the low student learning outcomes and the lack of facilitation of 4C competencies (Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, and Creativity) in the Industrial Machine Electrical Systems (SKMI) subject for Grade XI TMI 1 students at SMK Negeri 1 Pariaman. The teacher-centered learning approach has led to passive student participation, low critical thinking, varying academic abilities, and difficulty in connecting theoretical concepts to real-life applications. The aim of this study is to improve students' 4C competencies and learning outcomes through the implementation of the Team Assisted Individualization (TAI) cooperative learning model. Using Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, the study was conducted in three cycles: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 30 students from Grade XI TMI 1. Data collection included learning outcome tests and 4C competency observation sheets, with descriptive and quantitative data analysis. The results showed significant improvements: classical mastery increased from 27% to 90%, average learning scores rose from 67 to 81, and 4C competency mastery improved from 34% (low) to 82% (high). The study concludes that the TAI model effectively enhances both 4C competencies and learning outcomes in SKMI at SMK Negeri 1 Pariaman.

This study examines participatory leadership styles and their influence on organizational innovation in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in Indonesia. Participative leadership involves subordinates actively in the decision-making process, which contributes to increased motivation, productivity, and individual performance within the organization. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study explores the concepts and practices of leadership and innovation applied in SOEs. The results show that participatory leadership not only increases employee engagement but also creates a collaborative and innovative work environment. By involving different generations in decision-making, leaders can leverage the experience of senior generations and fresh ideas from younger generations, thereby encouraging more creative and relevant innovation. The implications of this research indicate that the application of a participatory leadership style is very important for SOEs to strengthen their competitiveness, adapt to market changes, and make a significant contribution to national development. This research provides valuable insights for leadership development and innovation strategies in the SOE sector in Indonesia.

The results of this service are expected to be an initial step for integrating green marketing and environmental awareness education into the curriculum and ongoing campus activities.

The quality of education is a crucial issue in human resource development, because the quality of educational services has a direct impact on learning outcomes, the relevance of graduates, and the competitiveness of the nation. However, the implementation of quality management in educational institutions still faces challenges in conceptual, strategic, and practical aspects. This article aims to answer the research question: how are the basic concepts of educational quality understood and implemented in the context of educational management in Indonesia? The method used is a literature review with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained from scientific articles sourced from Google Scholar and Publish or Perish with the keyword “basic concepts of quality.” Of the 22 articles found in the 2021–2025 range, five articles were selected through a screening and validation process for further analysis. The results of the study show three main themes. First, educational quality is understood as a quality standard that encompasses effectiveness, efficiency, and student satisfaction. Second, quality improvement strategies emphasize the role of Total Quality Management (TQM) and school-based management (SBM) involving all elements of educational institutions. Third, quality implementation is realized through academic management, learning quality, and a continuous monitoring system. The conclusion shows that education quality management is an integrated process, not only focusing on results but also on continuous improvement. Further research is recommended to expand the focus on the integration of digitalization in education quality monitoring.  

This community service (PkM) was conducted to address problems related to the convergence law, sensitive periods, and developmental tempo among students (santri) at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Zainul Hasan 1 Genggong. The main issues included an imbalance in development (cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual) due to fragmented learning approaches, missed stimulation during the sensitive periods, and a uniform approach that disregarded individual developmental tempo. The objective of this PkM was to provide an understanding of these concepts to both the students and the administrators, and to establish a more effective and adaptive learning approach. The methodology employed a qualitative approach with strategies such as participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), involving the Area D Administrators and students of Pondok MTs Zainul Hasan 1 Genggong. The results of the mentoring for Area D students demonstrated that their development became more balanced and integrated (convergence law), stimulation was provided during the appropriate sensitive periods, and mentoring was adjusted to the individual developmental tempo. These changes resulted in holistic progress, stronger skill formation among the students, and an increase in their learning motivation.

Game-based learning has emerged as a relevant instructional strategy to address the challenges of 21st-century education, including in Islamic Religious Education (PAI), which is often perceived as monotonous and less engaging for students. This study aims to describe the implementation of game-based learning in enhancing students’ learning motivation in the PAI subject at MA Yapina. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that the use of educational games—both digital and non-digital—creates a more interactive and enjoyable learning atmosphere while encouraging active student participation. Students demonstrated increased motivation, self-confidence, and interest in understanding religious concepts more deeply. In addition to boosting motivation, game-based activities contributed to better conceptual understanding through collaborative tasks and contextual simulations of Islamic values. However, several challenges were identified, including limited teacher competence in using game-based media and unequal availability of technological facilities. These findings suggest that game-based learning holds significant potential for PAI instruction but requires adequate teacher support and sufficient infrastructure to optimize its implementation. This study is expected to serve as a reference for developing innovative and creative learning strategies in Islamic Religious Education that align with the characteristics of digital-native learners.

This study originated from the issue of students’ limited comprehension of healthy and nutritious food concepts, which influences their lack of awareness in practicing a balanced diet in daily life. The conventional learning approach with minimal integration of visual aids has made students less engaged and hindered their overall understanding of the material. The primary objective of this research is to enhance fourth-grade students’ understanding of healthy and nutritious food at MI Al-Barokah through the application of picture-based learning media. Planing, implementation, observation, and reflection were the two stages of Classroom Action Research (CAR) that was used in the research. The participants were 25 fourth-grade students of MI Al-Barokah. Data were gathered through observations, interviews, and achievement tests, and analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods. The findings revealed a marked improvement in students’ understanding after the introduction of picture media, as reflected in the increasing average learning scores across cycles, along with greater motivation, participation, and engagement in classroom activities. The integration of picture media proved effective in facilitating a clearer, more engaging, and meaningful grasp of healthy and nutritious food concepts. These results suggest that picture-based instructional media can serve as a valuable strategy to improve the quality of thematic learning in elementary education, especially in lessons concerning healthy living and balanced nutrition.

This community service activity successfully raised new awareness about the importance of collaborative, adaptive, and sustainability-oriented educational resource management, particularly in schools serving children with special needs.

The main problem faced by MA Al Ulya Al Mubarok is the low level of financial literacy and the lack of understanding of the importance of early investment. Most students still perceive saving as the only form of financial management without recognizing the potential for asset growth through safe and well-planned investments. The absence of practical education on personal financial management and limited access to learning resources about investment are the main barriers to developing intelligent and future-oriented financial behavior. As a solution, this community service program is designed to improve financial literacy and foster investment intention among students. The program will be implemented through several stages of activities, including: needs and baseline analysis of students, development of a contextual-based financial literacy module, interactive socialization and training on the basic concepts of saving, personal financial management, and introduction to investment. The expected outcomes of this program include: an increase in students’ financial literacy level by at least 30% based on pre-test and post-test results, the initiation of a student investment awareness community, and the creation of a financial literacy learning module that can be used sustainably by the school. This community service program is expected to serve as a model for financial literacy development in secondary education institutions while supporting national efforts to build a financially literate, independent, and future-oriented young generation.

This study aims to analyze how Islamic education policy in Indonesia functions as a social mechanism in shaping and maintaining societal integration amidst modern social change. Based on Émile Durkheim's functionalism theory, this study views Islamic education as an institution that plays a vital role in maintaining moral order, social solidarity, and preventing symptoms of anomie resulting from an imbalance between traditional values and the demands of modernity. The approach used is qualitative with an exploratory-descriptive orientation, with data collection techniques through literature studies of policy documents, institutional reports, and related scientific research results. The analysis is conducted descriptively and analytically to interpret the social function of the policy based on the concepts of social solidarity, division of labor, and anomie. The results show that policies such as madrasah integration, religious moderation programs, and teacher professionalization have a manifest function in expanding access to education, increasing social mobility, strengthening gender equality, and strengthening cohesion between religious communities. However, latent functions are also found in the form of bureaucratization of educational institutions, resource inequality, and value resistance among local communities. These findings confirm that Islamic education policy operates ambivalently: as an integrative instrument that strengthens social solidarity, but also as an arena for value negotiation between tradition and modernity. Therefore, Islamic education policy needs to be directed in a more contextual and participatory manner to optimally function as an agent of inclusive, adaptive, and sustainable social transformation for modern Indonesian society.

Science learning in elementary schools plays a vital role in fostering scientific thinking, curiosity, and critical thinking skills from an early age. However, classroom practices are still dominated by conventional methods that make students passive and less motivated, which affects their understanding of abstract concepts such as the states of matter and their changes. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of using Canva as an interactive learning medium to enhance the motivation and learning outcomes of fourth-grade elementary school students on the topic of states of matter and their changes. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method through literature review and theoretical experimentation. The study involved reviewing various scientific sources and conducting a simulated Canva-based learning activity that visualized changes in the states of matter through images, animations, and simple classroom experiments. The findings reveal that using Canva encourages active student participation, clarifies abstract science concepts, and creates an engaging learning experience. Canva has proven to be an effective and innovative medium that supports the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum, emphasizing creativity, collaboration, and independent learning.

Adolescent girls living in orphanages face more complex psychosocial challenges compared to their peers in general. Experiences of loss, limited family support, and uncertainty about the future often lead to heightened anxiety. One effective psychological intervention to manage anxiety is mindful breathing training, or conscious breathing exercises. This community service activity aimed to provide mindful breathing training for adolescent girls at the Aisyiyah Muhammadiyah Orphanage in Banjarmasin as an effort to reduce anxiety and enhance inner calmness. The implementation method employed educational, participatory, and practical approaches, consisting of four stages: preparation, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up. The results of the activity showed that participants gained a good understanding of the concepts of anxiety and mindfulness, and were able to correctly practice the mindful breathing technique. Based on the evaluation results, more than 80% of participants stated that the training was engaging, clear, and beneficial in helping them manage anxiety. Therefore, mindful breathing training proved to be an effective, simple, and applicable strategy for reducing anxiety levels among adolescents in the orphanage.

The use of technological resources, especially the internet, has a very important role in supporting the effectiveness of the implementation of the flipped classroom model. Through internet access, students can prepare before face-to-face learning by watching learning videos, reading materials, or doing exercises independently. This allows the classroom teaching and learning process to be more interactive, where face-to-face time can be focused on discussion, problem-solving, and application of concepts. Based on survey data collected from students of SMK Dewata Bali Denpasar, it is known that optimal use of the internet helps increase students' understanding and interest in learning science subjects. However, as time went by, it was found that some of the material was still difficult for students to understand and remember. Therefore, educators need to choose the learning platform that is most effective in supporting the implementation of this model. Using the ELECTRE (Elimination and Choice Expressing Reality) method, this study assessed various platforms such as features, price, ease of use, and user survey results. The results show that Google Classroom is the most suitable and efficient platform to support reverse learning because of its ability to integrate various learning media, ease of access, and support for interaction between teachers and students.
