The interactive learning video innovation "Human Blood Circulation" through Edpuzzle, with embedded questions, is designed to address the difficulties faced by fifth-grade elementary school students in understanding abstract biological concepts. Science education in elementary schools often encounters challenges in explaining invisible processes, such as the heart's working mechanism and blood circulation, leading students to struggle with comprehension or merely memorize the material. Conventional learning videos tend to make students passive, necessitating media that can transform the learning process into an active one. Edpuzzle, as an educational platform, allows teachers to insert questions at critical points in the video, requiring students to answer before continuing to watch. This innovation aligns with the cognitive development stage of fifth-grade students, who are in the concrete operational stage.The research objectives include product development, validity and feasibility testing, analysis of conceptual understanding improvement, influence on focus and learning independence, and student responses. Media development refers to Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia and the characteristics of interactive videos according to Heinich et al. Additionally, media development models such as ADDIE and Dick and Carey are discussed. The main benefits of using Edpuzzle include increasing engagement, facilitating real-time formative assessment, and enhancing learning motivation. However, challenges exist such as technology access, teacher readiness, the risk of technology dependency, and long-term evaluation. The practical implications can support digital learning and the transformation of elementary science education.

The increasing variety of digital financial products has contributed to greater access to financial services. However, there is growing need to enhance financial literacy, particularly among Generation Z, which dominates the use of technology compared to other generations. This generation is highly proficient in utilizing technology, including financial technology, which facilitates economic transactions through digital transfers and payments. On the other hand, this convenience also creates financial vulnerabilities for Generation Z, as reflected in poor personal fianncial management that leads to consumptive behavior and engagenment in online lending. Moreover, Generation Z tends to have lower levels of financial literacy compared to other generations. This community service program was conducted for Generation Z, specifically senior high school students at SMA Averos in Sorong City. The activity aimed to improve students’ understanding of financial literacy and provide practical tips for effective financial management. The program was implemented in the form of a financial literacy socialization activity, with the expectation of fostering financial awareness among young people regarding the importance of managing their finances and developing positive financial attitudes. The results of this activity indicate that students were able to understand financial literacy concepts effectively, leading to increased awareness and the ability to manage their finances in a prudent and responsible manner.

A moral crisis occurs when a person loses the attitude, character, and behavior that are in accordance with goodness. Moral and ethical crises often occur among the younger generation in Indonesia due to various factors, such as the impact of globalization, the influence of social media, the lack of parental involvement, and the lack of character education in schools. This study aims to explore the relevance of character education values in M. Quraish Shihab's Tafsir Al-Mishbah to the problems faced by students in the contemporary era. The crisis of morality, bullying, and the threat of radicalism are the background to the urgency of internalizing contextual Qur'anic values. This research is qualitative in nature, using library research, a thematic approach, and content analysis. The results show that the concept of character education in Tafsir Al-Mishbah is rooted in the relationship between the meaning of Rabb and tarbiyah, which aims to shape Insan Kamil through intellectual and spiritual balance. Analysis of Q.S. Luqman: 12-13, Q.S. Al-Hujurat: 11-13, and Q.S. Al-Mujadilah: 11 reveals fundamental values such as monotheism, gratitude, tolerance, and manners in seeking knowledge. The relevance of the findings shows that Quraish Shihab's moderate (wasathiyah) thinking is very effective in protecting students from extreme ideas, building digital literacy ethics through the principle of tabayyun, and eliminating the culture of violence in schools through a humanistic approach. This study concludes that Tafsir Al-Mishbah offers a functional methodological framework for strengthening the character of 21st-century students.

The Low reading interest among elementary school students remains a problem encountered in various rural areas, including at SD Negeri 30 OKU in Batumarta 1 Village, Lubuk Raja District, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency. The limited availability of attractive and easily accessible literacy resources is one of the contributing factors to low student reading habits. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to increase student reading interest by providing comfortable, educational, and child-friendly reading corners. The implementation method includes initial observation, providing and arranging reading corners, providing age-appropriate reading books, and mentoring and socializing the use of reading corners to students and teachers. The provision of reading corners is carried out through community service activities by university teams or volunteers, by providing bookshelves, various types of story books, children's encyclopedias, and interactive reading materials. To demonstrate the benefits of reading corners, comfort zone arrangements, regular reading schedules, and various literacy games are implemented to increase student engagement. The results of the activity show an increase in student interest in reading activities, as seen from the increased frequency of student visits to the reading corners and active participation in independent reading activities. In addition, teachers also feel the benefits of reading corners as a supporting tool for the learning process. Thus, providing a reading corner can be a simple but effective solution in fostering a culture of literacy and increasing the reading interest of elementary school students in the school environment.

This community service activity recommended the need to strengthen more adaptive, innovative, and inclusive learning through technology integration and attention to the diversity of student learning styles in the implementation of the Learning Strategy course.

Corruption is a serious problem that leads to declining public trust, weakened governance, and hindered national development. Beyond economic losses, corruption also erodes moral values, ethics, and social justice within society. Therefore, corruption prevention efforts must be carried out systematically and sustainably, one of which is through the internalization of anti-corruption values at an early stage, particularly among students as future generations. This community service activity aimed to instill values of integrity, honesty, responsibility, and public ethics among students through the Anti-Corruption Generation Interactive Seminar, conducted in commemoration of International Anti-Corruption Day 2025. The activity involved approximately 150 junior and senior high school students in Makassar. The method employed was an interactive seminar implemented through material presentations and discussions between speakers and participants. The seminar materials emphasized an understanding of the dangers of corruption, its impacts on national and social life, and the strategic role of students in fostering an anti-corruption culture within schools and the wider community. The evaluation of the activity was conducted through observation of participant engagement and responses during the seminar. The results indicated an increase in students’ understanding and awareness of anti-corruption values, as well as the importance of integrity-oriented behavior in everyday life. This activity demonstrates that interactive seminars can serve as an effective approach to supporting students’ character development and strengthening preventive efforts against corruption.

This study aims to examine the perspectives of students in the Primary School Teacher Education Program (PGSD) who are about to begin the Learning Strategies course. The main focus of this research is to investigate how students view the concept of learning strategies, their experiences with various teaching methods, and their expectations regarding the Learning Strategies course. Information was obtained through questionnaires completed by 84 students during the first session of the course. The results of the analysis show that the majority of students have a fairly good basic understanding of learning strategies, although there are some variations in their preferences regarding the use of technology and certain teaching methods.

This research analyzes the concept of Īmān (faith) according to Abū al-Mu'īn al-Nasafī (1027-1114 CE) in his work Al-Tamhīd fī Uṣūl al-Dīn. The study stems from the intellectual unrest and Fitnah that affected the Māturīdiyyah school in Mawarannahr, prompting al-Nasafī to become a key defender of the faith. The study utilizes library research with a descriptive-analytical and qualitative approach, analyzing both primary data from al-Nasafī’s work and secondary theological literature. The findings reveal al-Nasafī's views on Īmān: First, faith is a conviction of truth (Yaqīn) established in the heart towards God. Second, verbal affirmation and actions are symbolic and necessary for Islamic law but do not represent the essence of faith, which lies in the heart. Third, he rejects equating faith with deeds ('Amal), asserting that deeds and conviction are distinct, with conviction being stable and permanent, unlike actions. Al-Nasafī critiques earlier views, like those of al-Raqashī and others, who equated faith with mere verbal affirmation, deeming such views as hypocritical (Nifāq). His approach integrates reason ('Aql) and revelation (Waḥy), employing both Qur'anic texts (Bayānī) and rational arguments (Burhānī) to explain faith.

Oral and dental health problems among elementary school children remain relatively high, particularly dental caries, which is influenced by low levels of knowledge and inadequate toothbrushing skills. Children aged 6–12 years are in the mixed dentition phase and therefore require special attention in maintaining oral hygiene. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and toothbrushing skills of elementary school students through a demonstration method using a dental phantom model. The activity was conducted at SD Inpres Maccini Sombala I in January 2026 and involved elementary school students as participants. The methods applied included oral health education, demonstration of proper toothbrushing techniques using a dental phantom, mass toothbrushing practice, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test as well as direct observation. The results showed an improvement in students’ understanding of the correct timing, frequency, and technique of toothbrushing, namely brushing twice a day after breakfast and before bedtime. In addition, students were able to practice proper toothbrushing techniques more effectively after the demonstration. The use of a dental phantom as an educational medium proved to be effective in increasing students’ interest, understanding, and toothbrushing skills. This activity is expected to help establish good toothbrushing habits from an early age and support promotive and preventive efforts to reduce the prevalence of dental caries among elementary school children.

Students' learning processes are not only determined by cognitive abilities but are also greatly influenced by accompanying psychological aspects. At the junior high school (SMP) level, students are in the early adolescence phase, which is characterized by significant changes in emotions, motivation, and social needs. This condition makes psychological aspects a crucial factor in determining learning success. This study aims to examine the psychological dynamics that influence the learning process of junior high school students and their implications for the implementation of learning. The research method used is field research with a descriptive qualitative approach. The results show that learning motivation, emotional state, learning strategies, and social environmental support have interrelated roles in shaping students' learning experiences. Differences in students' psychological states contribute to variations in engagement and learning outcomes. Therefore, understanding students' psychological dynamics is crucial for teachers in designing effective, comfortable, and meaningful learning.

The development of education in the digital era requires students to master not only academic skills, but also soft skills and hard skills as a provision to face the challenges of education and the world of work. However, the learning process at Papua High School in Sorong City is still teacher-oriented, so students' communication courage and technological skills have not developed optimally. This community service activity aims to empower students through public communication training (public speaking) and computer network cable techniques to strengthen 21st century skills. The method used is a participatory approach with hands-on practice through four stages: observation, socialization, training, and evaluation. Public speaking training is focused on increasing students' courage and confidence in communicating, while network cable training emphasizes basic technical skills such as recognizing cable types, RJ-45 connector functions, crimping techniques, and connectivity testing. The results of the activities showed high participation and enthusiasm from students, as well as increased public speaking courage and basic understanding in network cable making. The integration of public communication training and technology skills has been proven to have a positive impact on the development of student competencies. Therefore, this activity is recommended as a model for developing soft skills and hard skills for high school students, especially in areas with limited access to technology learning.

Reproductive health is a crucial factor in adolescent development, particularly among Generation Z, characterized by rapid technological advancements, changing lifestyles, and increased exposure to risky behaviors. A lack of understanding of reproductive health among adolescents can lead to various physical and mental health problems, including reproductive infections, sexually transmitted infections, and mental health issues. This community service program aims to broaden adolescents' knowledge and awareness of the importance of maintaining reproductive health in the Generation Z era. The activity was held on December 6, 2025, at Nur Adia High School and involved 60 students as participants. The methods applied in this program included health education, interactive discussions, and question-andanswer sessions. The results showed an increase in participants' understanding of reproductive health, personal hygiene practices, healthy lifestyles, and prevention of risky behaviors. It is hoped that this activity can be a preventative measure in increasing awareness of reproductive health and supporting the development of a healthy and responsible young generation.

Ideally, final-year undergraduates are expected to demonstrate psychological maturity and a clear sense of future direction. However, the pressure of academic demands and social expectations often precipitates a "quarter-life crisis," triggering profound anxiety during this transitional phase. This study investigates the relationship between religiosity and the quarter life crisis among final-year students at Universitas Ibrahimy Situbondo. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the study involved 149 students selected via convenience sampling from a population of 237. Data were collected using the Religiosity Scale and the Quarter-Life Crisis Scale, then analyzed using simple linear regression with JASP version 0.19.1.0. Contrary to common assumptions in religious settings, the findings revealed that religiosity was not significantly associated with the quarter life crisis (p = .105 > .05). The effective contribution of religiosity in explaining the variance of the crisis was minimal (R2 = 0.018 or 1.8%), indicating that 98.2% of the phenomenon is driven by factors outside the scope of this study. These results suggest that religiosity is not a sole predictor capable of buffering against quarter life crisis. Consequently, further research should explore other potential mitigating variables, such as social support, self-efficacy, or career adaptability, particularly within Islamic boarding school-based university environments.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Al-Qur’an Juz 30 tahfiz program at MI Darul Falah Konawe by applying the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative by collecting data through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study in the Context dimension show that the program has a very strong foundation of vision and target planning. In the Input dimension, teacher qualifications and supporting facilities are considered very adequate, but obstacles were found in the students' diverse initial abilities in reading and writing the Qur'an. The Process dimension reveals high student enthusiasm, but the implementation is hampered by limited guidance time and frequently interrupted schedules. As a result, in the Product dimension, students show very good reading quality (makhraj and tajwid), but the quantity of memorization has not yet reached the planned target. This study recommends the need to restructure the guidance schedule consistently and to provide a tahsin matriculation program to equalize students' basic abilities.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease of the respiratory system that remains a global public health problem, including in Indonesia, with high incidence rates among adolescents due to intense social activities and interactions. This community service activity aims to increase adolescents' knowledge about TB from an epidemiological perspective, including modes of transmission, symptoms, risk factors, and prevention efforts as an airborne disease. The method used was a quasi-experimental approach with a two-group pretest-posttest design, through health education provided to 149 adolescents aged 15–17 years at Darussalam High School in Medan. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires to assess the level of knowledge before and after the educational intervention. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the level of knowledge after the education was provided, where the percentage of respondents in the high knowledge category increased from 82% in the pre-test to 93% in the post-test, accompanied by a decrease in the sufficient and low knowledge categories. This study shows that community service activities through health education have a significant effect on increasing adolescents' knowledge about tuberculosis. Health education has been proven to be effective as a promotional and preventive measure, so it needs to be implemented continuously to prevent the transmission
