The aim of this research is to develop and implement an application called APTAQU, designed to assist students with disabilities, especially those with hearing impairments, at Pesantren Tunarungu ABATA Temanggung in learning the interpretation of the Qur'an (tafsir). This application is developed to address the specific needs of hearing-impaired students, allowing them to access Qur'anic interpretation learning independently and effectively. The research employs a qualitative method, involving students and pesantren mentors actively in each stage, including planning, training, evaluation, and refinement of the application, to ensure that it meets the needs and abilities of the users. The application development process involves direct input from students and mentors, ensuring that the resulting application is truly relevant to their needs. During the development and implementation phases, students were trained to optimize the use of the application. The results of this community service show that the APTAQU application can improve accessibility for hearing-impaired students in understanding the interpretation of the Qur'an, an area that had previously been a major barrier in their learning. Interactive features such as sign language, audio-visual content, screen readers, and voice instructions have proven to help overcome communication barriers present in conventional media that were not inclusive. Moreover, the use of this application has also increased the involvement of students in religious education, particularly in understanding the Qur'anic interpretation. They are now more actively engaged in the learning process and can better comprehend the tafsir material. However, the application still requires further development to become more inclusive and user-friendly for all students, both with and without disabilities. This research contributes significantly to creating a more inclusive and accessible education for people with disabilities, especially in religious education, and serves as a starting point for addressing educational access disparities for them.

The advancement of digital technology has driven significant transformation in the field of education, particularly in the innovation of learning media that is interactive and easily accessible to students. The subject of Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn), as a crucial component of character education, must adapt to these developments to ensure that the material remains relevant and engaging for today’s digital generation. This community service activity aimed to enhance students' learning motivation by conducting a training program on creating educational applications using the no-code platform Thunkable. The focus of the training was on the topic of national political figures, which is part of the core competencies in the PPKn curriculum.

The purpose of this study was to understand the effect of using Canva-based learning media on the creativity of eleventh-grade students in economics. The background of this study stems from the low level of student learning creativity caused by the minimal use of innovative and engaging media in the learning process. Creativity is an important aspect in economics learning because it encourages students to think critically, create solutions, and understand abstract concepts more contextually. Static and monotonous learning media such as blackboards and textbooks often do not sufficiently stimulate student interest and participation. Therefore, a more interactive and visual approach is needed, one of which is using Canva. Canva is an online graphic design platform that allows teachers and students to easily create presentations, infographics, and other visual materials. Using Canva in learning can provide a more enjoyable learning experience and motivate students to be actively involved. This study used a quantitative method with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. Data analysis was carried out by comparing creativity scores before and after treatment. Student creativity was measured using a test instrument that included aspects of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The study subjects were 34 11th-grade students at SMAN 1 Tulungagung. The results showed a significant difference in scores between the pretest and posttest results, indicating that the use of Canva-based learning media had a positive impact on increasing student creativity. Students became more active in expressing ideas, more daring to experiment with concepts, and better able to present learning outcomes visually and attractively. These findings support constructivism theory, which states that effective learning occurs when students actively construct knowledge through meaningful experiences.

This study aims to determine the relationship between perfectionism and academic burnout among final-year students in Jakarta. Academic burnout is defined as stress arising from the learning process that results in emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low academic performance (Sagita & Meilyawati, 2021). Perfectionism is considered a personality disposition characterized by concerns about self-evaluation, overly critical self-assessment, and striving to achieve perfect personal standards (Hill, 2017). This study employs a quantitative approach, involving final-year university students in Jakarta aged 20–25 years who are in their 7th–9th semesters. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. The measurement tools used were the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale developed by Flett and Hewitt (1991) and the School Burnout Inventory developed by Salmela-Aro, Kiuru, Leskinen, and Nurmi in 2009. The results of the correlation test using Pearson Correlation yielded a value of r = 0.854, with significance 0.000 p < 0.05. These results indicate that there is a relationship between perfectionism and academic burnout among final-year students in Jakarta. Based on the correlation test per dimension, the results show that there is a relationship between perfectionism and all dimensions of academic burnout, especially the exhaustion dimension. Additionally, there is a relationship between academic burnout and all dimensions of perfectionism, particularly the socially prescribed perfectionism dimension. This indicates that the higher an individual's level of perfectionism, the higher their level of academic burnout.

Education is the learning of knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people that are passed down from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research. Education often occurs under the guidance of others, but is also possible autodidactically.
