This community service article discusses the contribution of students from the Impactful Campus Competition Program (PKKB) in improving the quality of education through coaching and training activities in sports in Semoyang Village, Praya Timur Subdistrict, Central Lombok Regency. This activity was carried out using a participatory action research method involving three main stages, namely planning, preparation, and implementation. In the planning stage, students and the community worked together to identify the needs and objectives of activities relevant to local potential. The preparation stage focused on developing training strategies, providing facilities, and coordinating with relevant parties. The implementation stage was carried out through sports coaching activities for children and adolescents using an educational and participatory approach. The results of the activity showed an increase in community awareness of the importance of sports from an early age, as well as a growing concern for environmental cleanliness and health. This program also played a role in strengthening social interaction, building a spirit of togetherness, and fostering community independence in managing sports activities. Overall, the PKKB activities in Semoyang Village have succeeded in creating positive synergy between universities and the community in supporting the development of healthy, competitive, and characterful human resources.

Education plays a crucial role in optimally developing and directing students' potential. In the current educational context, learning outcomes are assessed based on students' abilities to solve problems, reason, communicate, and demonstrate knowledge and attitudes. However, preliminary studies at MAN 1 Banjarmasin revealed that only 62.85% of the XI Agama class students met the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) of 75 in Fiqh subjects, while the rest failed. This study aimed to improve learning outcomes in the topic of Mawaris by using an Android-based learning media, the "Kalkulator Waris" application. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted through two cycles following the model proposed by Arikunto, comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection phases. In the first cycle, the average student score was 73.63 with a 62.85% success rate. After refining the learning process, the second cycle showed significant improvement: the average score rose to 88.17, and all students (100%) achieved mastery. The use of the "Kalkulator Waris" application facilitated students’ understanding of complex inheritance calculations, enhanced learning engagement, and fostered a more active, creative, and problem-solving learning environment. The findings suggest that appropriate use of Android-based educational applications can significantly enhance learning outcomes, particularly in complex subjects like Islamic inheritance law.

Learning mathematics in the technological era presents new challenges. The learning process has undergone a transformation towards digitalization. One form of innovation is the utilization of technological media such as Google Sites to assist students in learning mathematics.

This research investigates school scope classification using Deep Neural Networks (DNN), focusing on students living environments and educational opportunities. By addressing the interplay of socioeconomic and educational factors, the study aims to develop an analytical framework for understanding how environmental contexts shape academic trajectories. The research provides a nuanced understanding of the importance of features in educational classification by developing DNN models based on Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient (SRCC). The methodology employs machine learning techniques, integrating data wrangling, exploratory analysis, and multiple DNN models with K-fold cross-validation. The study analyzes 677 student records from two schools. The research examined multiple model configurations. Results show that the 'All Data' model achieved 83.08% accuracy, the 'Top 5' model 81.54%, and the 'Non-Top 5' model 79.23%. The SRCC-based approach revealed that while top correlated features are important, additional variables significantly contribute to model performance. The study highlights the profound impact of family background, social environment, and educational contexts on school selection. Furthermore, it demonstrates DNN's capability to uncover intricate, non-linear relationships, offering actionable insights for policymakers to leverage machine learning's potential in developing targeted educational strategies.

The development of intelligent multimedia technology has had a significant impact on various sectors, especially in education, social, and cultural fields. This article discusses the latest trends in the use of intelligent multimedia and related technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Virtual Reality (VR), which have transformed the way we learn and interact with the world around us. In the context of education, intelligent multimedia enables a more personalized and adaptive approach to students' needs, enhancing educational accessibility, and reducing the educational gap between urban and rural areas. This technology also contributes greatly to creating a more interactive and engaging learning environment. On the other hand, the use of intelligent multimedia in social and cultural fields opens up opportunities to enrich local identities in the face of globalization, by incorporating traditional cultural elements into technology-based product designs. However, despite its many benefits, the implementation of intelligent multimedia technologies faces various challenges, such as infrastructure issues, limited budgets, and resistance from some educators who are not yet familiar with new technologies. Therefore, it is essential to ensure adequate digital literacy so that future generations can fully utilize this technology responsibly. In conclusion, intelligent multimedia has great potential to improve the quality of life, but its application must be carried out wisely, taking into account long-term impacts on society and culture.

Student attendance monitoring is a crucial aspect in education to ensure that students are present in classes and to minimize the potential for fraud.

Education in Indonesia plays an important role in the development of individuals and the country, shaping social and cultural values and preparing for the future. Quality education creates human resources who are innovative and have high social awareness, as regulated in Republic of Indonesia Law no. 20 of 2003. The main challenge is to maintain achievements and adapt to the Society 5.0 era. Curricula, such as the 2013 Curriculum and the Merdeka Curriculum, are designed to develop students' knowledge, skills and character. English as a compulsory subject increases career and educational opportunities in the context of globalization. English teaching in Indonesia emphasizes listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, as well as the importance of grammar and vocabulary. Nouns are an important element in sentence formation, and understanding nouns helps students in all aspects of language skills. An effective method for studying nouns is through descriptive text analysis. The Community Service Activity (PKM) entitled "Learning Nouns Through Descriptive Text Analysis for Grade 7 Students at MTs Lijamul Athfal Sukabumi" aims to develop community potential, increase creativity, writing skills and relationship networks. It is hoped that this PKM can improve students' understanding of nouns and become a guide for language learning in Indonesian literature, as well as arouse interest in learning English. The method used includes preparation and implementation of noun learning through descriptive text analysis at MTs Lijamul Athfal Sukabumi with results showing high enthusiasm from students. It is hoped that this fun context-based learning can be an alternative that advances education and produces students with international insight.
