Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in the regional economy, including in Tatanga District and Nunu Village, Palu City. However, many MSME actors in these areas still face fundamental challenges such as low financial literacy, limited access to capital, and insufficient use of digital technology in business management. These limitations lead to weak financial record-keeping, poor cash flow management, and inadequate readiness to meet bankability requirements when applying for financing from formal financial institutions. This community service program was designed to improve the understanding and practical skills of MSME actors through financial literacy socialization, financial inclusion education, capital training in collaboration with financial institutions, and training in simple financial record preparation. The program was implemented using needs assessments through observation, structured material delivery, interactive discussions, hands-on transaction recording practice, and learning evaluations through pretests and posttests. The results show a significant improvement in participants’ competencies. Average scores for financial literacy and inclusion increased from 48% to 89%, indicating better understanding of cash flow management, transaction recording, and the use of digital financial services such as QRIS and mobile banking. Furthermore, participants’ understanding of capital access improved from 51% to 92%, particularly regarding financing procedures, business eligibility requirements, and the importance of financial statements in loan applications. Overall, the program effectively strengthened MSME capacity to manage businesses in a more structured, adaptive, and professional manner, supporting MSME independence and long-term business sustainability in Tatanga District and Nunu Village.

Advances in information technology have led to digital transformation in various business sectors, including small businesses such as campus canteens. Currently, the Basement 40 Canteen at Pamulang University still uses manual methods for menu selection and order analysis, which causes a number of problems, including poor service, difficulties in the recording process, and a lack of transparency in the workplace. The purpose of this study is to develop a web-based application that uses the Kanban method to improve operational efficiency and create clearer work processes. The methodology used is descriptive qualitative with Agile system development based on the Kanban methodology. Direct observation, interviews with canteen managers, and document analysis were used to collect data. The implementation of Kanban involves the use of visuals to display the work process in three stages: "To Do, Doing, and Done" calculating the amount of work in progress (WIP), and continuously making adjustments. The findings of the study indicate that the application created facilitates menu selection, simplifies order status monitoring, and reduces difficulties in the delivery process. The results of the evaluation regarding the use of the system indicate that this system is easy to use and can improve work effectiveness and efficiency. This research is expected to provide a practical overview of the campus digitalization process and enhance academic understanding of the application of Agile methods in small-scale business information systems.

Abstract: Character education has become a critical challenge in secondary education, particularly in learning contexts that emphasize cognitive achievement over affective and behavioral development. Although Project-Based Learning (PjBL) is widely recognized for its potential to foster collaboration and responsibility, character outcomes are often treated implicitly and rarely evaluated systematically. This study aims to develop and evaluate a character-oriented Project-Based Learning framework using a Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology in Islamic secondary education. The research was conducted through iterative design cycles involving problem analysis, instructional design, implementation, evaluation, and refinement. Explicit character indicators were embedded into each phase of the PjBL process and assessed using quantitative and qualitative instruments. Statistical analysis of pretest and posttest data revealed significant improvements in students’ character-related outcomes following the implementation of the proposed framework. Qualitative findings further indicated enhanced student engagement, collaboration, and social responsibility during project activities. The results demonstrate that integrating explicit character indicators into PjBL through a DBR approach enhances the effectiveness of character education beyond conventional instructional practices. This study contributes to the literature by providing a structured and empirically validated framework that bridges Project-Based Learning, Design-Based Research, and character education. The proposed framework offers practical implications for educators seeking to integrate affective learning objectives into active learning environments.

The increasing proportion of the elderly population in Indonesia has led to a rise in degenerative health problems, one of which is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by decreased bone density, increasing the risk of fractures, particularly among elderly women. Low calcium intake, lack of physical activity, and limited knowledge regarding osteoporosis prevention are major contributing factors. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of Aisyiyah women in Cirebon Regency regarding osteoporosis in the elderly, including its definition, risk factors, impacts, and prevention strategies through proper nutrition and regular physical activity. The activity was conducted from October to December at the Aisyiyah Study Hall in Cirebon Regency, targeting pre-elderly and elderly women. The methods used included health education through lectures and interactive question-and-answer sessions, supported by laptops, LCD projectors, and PowerPoint presentations. Evaluation of participants’ knowledge was carried out using oral pre-tests and post-tests related to the delivered material. The results indicated an improvement in participants’ understanding of osteoporosis, the importance of adequate calcium intake, and the role of physical activity in maintaining bone health. This community service program is expected to contribute to increasing health awareness and reducing the risk and prevalence of osteoporosis among the elderly.

Puger Kulon Village, located in Puger District, Jember Regency, is a coastal area in East Java with significant marine and fisheries potential. Most of the population earns their living as fishermen and small-scale fishery product processors (MSMEs). Unfortunately, the capacity of MSMEs in this area is still very limited, both in terms of technical skills and product variety. Processed fish products produced by the community are mostly shrimp paste and shredded fish. This community service activity aims to increase knowledge and additional skills for coastal MSMEs regarding the diversification of local processed fish products by encouraging the development of various processed fish products as an effort to increase product added value such as fish nuggets, fish balls, fish dumplings, and fish dim sum. The method used is counseling and technical training with direct practice in diversifying various fish products (fish nuggets, fish balls, dumplings, and fish dim sum). Evaluation was carried out using a pretest and posttest approach on 20 MSME participants using a knowledge assessment instrument. The results showed an increase in knowledge regarding fish processing diversification, with an average score of 74 before the training, increasing to 93 after the training, a 27% increase. Thus, the extension and training on fish processing diversification have proven effective in increasing the knowledge and skills of coastal MSMEs. This activity has the potential to improve the quality and diversity of local fish-based products, while strengthening the role of MSMEs in providing nutritious food from local potential as an effort to prevent stunting in coastal communities.

This study examines the fundamental concepts of learning by emphasizing that learning is an active process that not only involves receiving information but also includes changes in students’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills. This research was conducted using a literature review method by exploring various relevant scholarly sources to understand the theories, principles, components, and factors that influence the success of learning. The findings indicate that learning theories such as behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and humanistic theory provide an essential foundation for teachers in designing meaningful learning experiences. In addition, there has been a paradigm shift from teacher-centered learning to student-centered learning, which requires teachers to act as facilitators and designers of a conducive learning environment. The study further reveals that effective learning is determined by the alignment of objectives, materials, methods, media, learning activities, and evaluation. Internal factors such as students’ motivation and readiness to learn, as well as external factors such as teacher competence and the availability of learning facilities, also significantly influence learning outcomes. Overall, this study emphasizes that effective learning requires comprehensive planning, adaptive approaches, and classroom management that supports active student engagement.
