The Pious Children Festival is a collaborative work program implemented by students (KKN) of Batang Hari Islamic University in Jelutih Village, Batin XXIV District. This activity aims to instill religious values ​​and strengthen children's self-confidence from an early age. A pious child is defined as an individual who consistently behaves well, possesses strong faith, and is devout in practicing Islamic teachings. The objectives of the Pious Children Festival include: (1) increasing children's enthusiasm for studying Islamic teachings, (2) developing children's interests and talents in religious matters, and (3) fostering children's self-confidence in showcasing their abilities. This activity is packaged in the form of religious competitions that include the call to prayer (adhan), memorization of short surahs (chapters), daily prayers, Qur'an recitation, and an Islamic fashion show. Participants from the PAUD (Early Childhood Education), Kindergarten (TK), and RA (Islamic Elementary School) levels take part. The implementation method involves several stages: analyzing the needs of early childhood children, planning activities, implementing programs, and evaluating and following up on the results. The results of the Pious Children Festival demonstrated an increased enthusiasm among the children of Jelutih Village for learning about Islam. Furthermore, this activity also had a positive impact on increasing the children's courage and confidence in showcasing their religious talents. This was evident in the changes in the attitudes of several boys who previously lacked confidence in performing the call to prayer, but after participating in this activity, became more courageous and confident.

This study aims to analyze the influence of teachers' teaching styles on the formation of student character in the school environment. The study focuses on comparing democratic-humanist and authoritarian teaching styles, and their implications for student character development. The research method used is a qualitative method with a literature review approach, through a systematic analysis of books, scientific articles, and previous research results relevant to the topic of teaching styles and character education. The results and discussion indicate that education is not only oriented towards academic achievement, but also on the formation of moral values, attitudes, and personality of students. Teachers have a strategic role as educators, mentors, and role models whose behavior and teaching styles greatly influence student character. Democratic and humanist teaching styles have been shown to encourage the growth of self-confidence, courage to express opinions, independence, empathy, and moral integrity in students. Conversely, authoritarian teaching styles tend to instill fear, reduce creativity, weaken self-confidence, and shape students' character under pressure. This study confirms that student character formation is strongly influenced by the quality of teacher-student interactions, the emotional atmosphere in the classroom, role models, and moral communication established by teachers. Therefore, a balance is needed in implementing a firm but humanistic teaching style in order to create a learning environment that is conducive to optimal character formation of students.

English speaking skill is a crucial competence for university students, particularly those involved in student organizations focusing on language development. Members of English clubs are expected to actively use English in academic and organizational contexts; however, many still face challenges related to pronunciation accuracy, fluency, limited active vocabulary, and low confidence. These challenges are often caused by limited structured speaking practice and insufficient integration between digital learning tools and communicative pedagogy.This community service program aimed to enhance the English-speaking skills of members of the Bhamada English Club at Universitas Bhamada Slawi through the utilization of the Duolingo application integrated with a Task-Based Learning (TBL) approach. The program was implemented through three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Activities included needs analysis, speaking pre-test, guided Duolingo practice focusing on pronunciation and speaking features, task-based speaking activities, and post-test evaluation.The results demonstrated improvements in pronunciation accuracy, speaking fluency, and participants’ confidence in using English orally. The integration of Duolingo as a source of comprehensible input and Task-Based Learning as a communicative output strategy proved effective in enhancing speaking skills. This program indicates that technology-supported task-based instruction can serve as an effective and sustainable model for improving English speaking skills among university students.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in the economy and community independence. However, the great potential of home-based businesses is often hindered by administrative issues related to business legality. This research focuses on UMKM Krecek Kulit Sapi Ashif in Jatirejo Village, which has been operating since 2018 but lacks a Business Identification Number (NIB), Household Industry Food (PIRT) permit, and halal certification due to perceived complex procedures. The main objective of this activity is to strengthen business management through product standardization and obtaining legal certifications to enhance the competitiveness of this MSME. The research method used a descriptive qualitative approach with a community service method based on mentoring, including observation, in-depth interviews, and hands-on practice in managing documents through the Online Single Submission system. The results show that through phased mentoring, UMKM Krecek Kulit Sapi Ashif successfully obtained an NIB and increased the owner’s awareness of PIRT food safety standards and halal certification procedures. The impact of this activity includes meeting administrative legality and improving knowledge, confidence, and professionalism in business management. Intensive mentoring proved crucial in transforming informal businesses into formal, legally protected entities.

The development of digital technology and social media, particularly TikTok, has significantly influenced the learning behavior of elementary school students. This study aims to analyze the impact of TikTok use on the learning behavior of sixth-grade elementary school students through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Data were collected from Google Scholar following the PRISMA guidelines, resulting in 200 initial articles, which were then selected to obtain 12 articles relevant to the Indonesian context. The synthesis results show that TikTok has a dual impact. On the positive side, TikTok increases creativity, digital skills, self-confidence, interest in learning, and provides access to interesting and interactive educational content. However, excessive use without supervision has negative effects, such as decreased discipline, concentration, and motivation to learn, the emergence of academic procrastination, and changes in behavior and language that are inappropriate. These findings confirm that the influence of TikTok is greatly affected by parental supervision, the role of teachers, digital literacy, and student self-regulation. Therefore, it is necessary to use TikTok wisely, purposefully, and in an integrated manner in educational policies so that its benefits are optimized and its risks can be minimized.

This meta-analytic study aims to comprehensively examine the relationship between mental health, learning capacity among health education students, and competencies in nosocomial disease risk management through cross-contextual empirical synthesis. An analysis of 47 studies involving 12,847 participants from 15 countries demonstrates a strong, statistically significant association between students' mental health and competencies in nosocomial infection prevention, as reflected by a correlation coefficient of r=0.68 (p<0.001) and a 95% confidence interval of 0.61-0.74. Students with high mental health scores (M=78.4; SD=8.2) exhibited substantially superior understanding of infection prevention protocols, namely 43% higher than the control group (M=54.7; SD=12.1; t(846)=18.42; p<0.001; d=2.31). Structural equation modeling confirmed learning capacity as a significant partial mediator (β=0.52; p<0.001), with an indirect effect reaching 35.4% and a 95% CI range of 28.6-42.1%. Mindfulness-based psychoeducational interventions were shown to enhance nosocomial risk identification abilities by 38.7% (F(2,564)=42.18; p<0.001; η²=0.41) while reducing clinical anxiety by 31.2% (t(382)=9.84; p<0.001). These findings extend the frameworks proposed by Song (2024) and Schutte et al. (2025), which primarily emphasize cognitive aspects, by demonstrating that the integration of psychological dimensions yields a multidimensional predictive model explaining 64.3% of the variance in risk management competence (R²=0.643; F(5,841)=304.76; p<0.001), surpassing conventional models that account for only 38-45% of the variance.

This study employed a quantitative method with a correlational research design to examine the relationship between family social support and self-confidence among Generation Z individuals born between 1997 and 2012. A total of 205 respondents participated in this study. Data were collected using two Likert-scale instruments: the Family Social Support Scale (60 items; Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.980) and the Self-Confidence Scale (58 items; Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.939), both demonstrating excellent reliability. Assumption testing indicated that normality and linearity were not met; therefore, the Spearman’s Rho non-parametric correlation test was applied. The results revealed a significant positive relationship between family social support and self-confidence (r = 0.429, p < .001), indicating that higher levels of perceived family support are associated with higher levels of self-confidence among Generation Z. Most respondents reported high levels of family social support (49%) and self-confidence (65%). Additionally, two items on the family social support scale and four items on the self-confidence scale were identified as having relatively lower scores within the moderate category, suggesting potential topics for future training interventions.  

This community service activity aims to improve the First Aid Awareness of students at SMAN 5 Tegal through health education and first aid simulation for accident management. The background of this program is based on the high potential for mild to moderate emergency incidents in the school environment, such as fainting, open wounds, nosebleeds, choking, and seizures, as well as the limited knowledge and practical skills of students in providing appropriate initial assistance. The implementation method consisted of three stages: preparation, delivery of health education using presentations and demonstrations, and hands-on simulation, followed by evaluation through knowledge assessment and skills observation. The participants were 54 students representing three grade levels. The expected outcomes of this activity include an improvement in students’ conceptual understanding and practical ability to perform first aid quickly, correctly, and safely before professional medical help arrives. In addition, this program is expected to foster emergency responsiveness, increase students’ confidence in handling accident situations at school, and contribute to the development of a safer and more prepared school environment. The outputs of this activity include increased knowledge and skill scores, documented implementation, and publication of a community service article in a SINTA-indexed journal.

This community service program aimed to strengthen national insight and soft skills among ADik scholarship students through a participatory and reflective mentoring approach. Many students come from underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost regions with diverse socio-cultural backgrounds, requiring contextual guidance to internalize national values and develop essential interpersonal competencies. The program combined interactive socialization, group discussions, and value reflection activities to encourage active participation and personal engagement. The method emphasized dialogic learning rather than one-way lectures, allowing students to relate national values to their lived experiences. The findings revealed noticeable behavioral changes, including increased confidence in expressing opinions, stronger participation in discussions, improved communication skills, and heightened awareness of ethical conduct and financial responsibility as scholarship recipients. The emergence of several students as informal local leaders during discussions indicated early signs of social transformation at the individual level. This program demonstrates that reflective and participatory mentoring can effectively foster character building, leadership, and contextual national awareness among university students. The implications suggest that similar approaches can be adopted in student development programs to promote sustainable character formation, especially for students from diverse and remote regions.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Tahsin Qur'an program at Ma'had Al-Jamiah IAIN Kendari using the Goal Free Evaluation model. This evaluation emphasizes tangible results without being tied to the initial objectives of the program. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that the program has had a significant positive impact: participants showed improved reading ability in hijaiyah letters, mastery of basic tajweed, and increased self-confidence and spiritual closeness to the Quran. The high level of participant attendance and consistent enthusiasm for learning indicate active involvement in the learning process. The program has also proven to be able to create a conducive and sustainable learning community, even though it is run voluntarily without financial incentives. Several recommendations for development include the provision of advanced classes, improvement of learning materials, and increasing reach and wider support. This evaluation confirms that the andragogy-based tahsin learning approach is highly relevant for Quranic education for adults and deserves further development.

Exercise is a planned physical activity that not only contributes to physical fitness but also plays a significant role in maintaining and improving mental health. This study aims to explore the relationship between physical exercise and mental well-being among adolescents and university students with diverse backgrounds of physical activity. The research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews with five informants, consisting of university students who engage in recreational exercise, recreational runners, middle- and long-distance runners, and a sprinter. Data collection was conducted in several public sports spaces in the city of Bandung, focusing on participants’ subjective experiences related to their psychological conditions before and after engaging in exercise. The findings indicate that all participants perceive exercise as an effective means of emotional regulation. Physical activity is consistently associated with improved mood, reduced stress, enhanced sleep quality, stable energy levels, and increased academic concentration and focus. In addition, exercise contributes to the development of self-confidence, self-efficacy, and self-control through structured routines. The social aspects of exercise, such as support from peers, communities, and coaches, were shown to strengthen the sustainability of physical activity while also providing essential emotional support for mental health. However, among competitive athletes, performance-related pressure was identified as a factor that may negatively affect psychological well-being, although this effect can be moderated by adequate social support. Overall, the findings of this study emphasize that exercise functions as an adaptive coping mechanism operating through biological, psychological, and social pathways, and highlight the importance of consistency and balance in physical activity to achieve optimal mental health benefits.

Beginner students often face difficulties in academic writing, such as organizing ideas, choosing correct grammar, and expressing information in their own words. Because of this, many students use QuillBot as a writing support tool. This study aims to understand how QuillBot helps beginner writers become more independent in academic writing. The research used a mixed-method approach with 30 students from the English Language and Literature Department at the State University of Medan, with data collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and open-ended reflections. The findings show that more than 70% of the students use QuillBot frequently in their writing tasks. Most students said that QuillBot helps improve grammar accuracy, sentence clarity, and paraphrasing skills, and also increases their confidence in writing. The summarizing feature also helps students identify and restate main ideas. However, 59% of the students noted that using QuillBot too much may reduce creativity and lead to dependency. The study concludes that QuillBot is helpful as a supporting tool for writing, but it should be used in balance. Students still need to practice writing independently so they can develop their own writing style and confidence.
