This article discusses the importance of business legality, especially in obtaining Business Identification Numbers (NIB) and Halal Certificates for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Gentong Village, Pasuruan. Gentong District has many MSMEs that play an important role in the local economy, but face challenges in understanding and managing business legality, which results in limited access to wider markets. This article highlights the mentoring program carried out using the Service Learning method, which involves direct interaction between academics, students and MSME actors. This program aims to increase the understanding and skills of MSME players in managing NIB and Halal Certificates, as well as overcoming bureaucratic obstacles which often become obstacles in managing business legality. Through this approach, MSME players are expected to be able to increase the competitiveness and sustainability of their businesses. This article also examines relevant theories, such as Legitimacy Theory, Social Capital Theory, and Market Access Theory, which support the importance of business legality in building reputation, expanding markets, and reducing legal risks. The results of this mentoring program show that with adequate business legality, MSMEs in Gentong Village are able to expand business networks, increase credibility, and access larger market opportunities, both at the local and international levels. Thus, business legality is not only an administrative fulfillment, but also an important business strategy for the growth and sustainability of MSME businesses amidst increasingly tight market competition.

The purpose is to develop the students of class XI-TFLM 2 of SMK Negeri 5 Surabaya in understanding the structure of news text by using SQ3R technique. The main problem identified is that students are unable to recognize the important elements of news text, such as title, introduction, news content, and conclusion. This research method includes two action cycles using the SQ3R strategy and consists of the following steps: research, questioning, reading, reciting, and reviewing. In Cycle I, this strategy was introduced to improve students' understanding of news text structure, resulting in an increase in students' average score from 55.82 points in the pre-action to 71.06 points. Based on the reflection of Cycle I, it was found that students still had difficulty distinguishing and analyzing the elements of news structure. In the second cycle, they strengthened the SQ3R strategy through group discussions and extensive reading, so that their average score increased to 80.76. These results show that the SQ3R strategy is effective in improving students' news text analysis skills. The improvement of students' ability in analyzing the structure of news texts is reflected in the better results in cycle II, showing the potential of this method as an effective approach in Indonesian language learning. This study recommends a more comprehensive application of the SQ3R strategy to improve news text analysis skills in secondary education.

Ecoprint is one of the activities of making batik through the process of transferring color and shape to fabric through direct contact. Ecoprint training was chosen because it was based on the discovery that there were many natural resources that had not been utilized, which was one of the reasons for conducting ecoprint training. In supporting the village's creative economy by utilizing natural resources, ecoprint is one solution that can be implemented. Apart from being able to provide ecoprint training experience, it can be used as an example of a business that supports the village economy. This training uses material delivery and discussion methods, a participatory approach and local potential.  The results of this training were to increase the experience and skills of the PKK mothers of Beringin Makmur village regarding ecoprinting. PKK mothers can find out how to make Ecoprint and can apply it at home. Another hope is that mothers can still produce work even though they are stuck at home. Apart from that, the participation method applied not only adds to the learning experience, but also builds a social environment that supports business development. Thus, this activity contributes to community economic empowerment and environmental preservation through creativity and innovation in the use of natural materials found around.

Organic waste remains a major issue in several areas as it causes negative impacts such as environmental pollution. One of the causes is the lack of public understanding of how to process organic waste. Organic waste processing can be carried out using BSF maggot. Utilizing BSF maggot for organic waste processing is a form of sustainable benefit. BSF maggot can be used as animal feed, and its residue can be used as organic fertilizer. This study employs a qualitative method to deeply describe the sequence and results of community service activities conducted for the PKK mothers' community. The community service was conducted in the form of a socialization event aimed at providing an understanding of organic waste processing using BSF maggot and its potential as an alternative chicken feed. The activities included socialization on BSF maggot farming techniques, the role of BSF maggot in processing organic waste, the benefits that can be obtained, and the provision of BSF maggot samples for independent farming. The evaluation results show that all participants understood the BSF maggot farming techniques for processing organic waste and applying it as chicken feed in their surroundings.

The research hypothesis is: "There is a difference in students' learning motivation in PAK learning before and after learning with the Collaborative Learning learning model for Class VII Students of SMP Negeri 1 Sipoholon for the 2023/2024 Learning Year." The population is all class VII students of SMP Negeri 1 Sipoholon, totaling 163 people. The research sample was determined using the Purposive Sampling technique, namely 32 students in class VII-3 as the experimental class which used a collaborative learning model and 32 students in class VII-4 as the control class which used normal treatment (conventional class). This research method is the Quasi Experimental Design method using a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The instrument used in this research was a 22 item questionnaire. Research data for the questionnaire was analyzed using the average difference test formula (N-Gain Score). It was found that the average value for the experimental class was 0.7283 in the high category. And the average value for the control class is 0.1548, which is in the low category. Then carrying out an independent test using the t test obtained a value of t = 11.648 > t table (α = 0.05; df = 62) = 2,000. Based on the research results, it is stated that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. Thus, it can be concluded that there are differences in students' learning motivation in PAK learning before and after being taught using the Collaborative Learning learning model.
