Fine motor development is a fundamental prerequisite for academic readiness and independence in early childhood. Still, currently, challenges such as sedentary behaviour and screen exposure hinder the optimisation of these abilities. This community service program aims to implement a Play-Based Learning model of fine-motor stimulation to improve the physical and academic readiness of children at Tamalate State Kindergarten in Makassar City. The intervention program was conducted over two weeks through three main stimulation zones: Texture Zone (playdough and finger painting), Precision Zone (beading, origami, and cutting), and Manipulative Zone (busy board and puzzles). The target subjects were children in group B with fine-motor impairments, and the study evaluated 20 children using periodic observation checklists. The results showed a significant transformation, with 95% of children (19 out of 20 participants) experiencing an increase in achievement from the Starting to Develop (MB) category to Developing as Expected (BSH) and Developing Very Well (BSB). These findings confirm that a structured intervention through play zones is not only effective in strengthening intrinsic hand muscles and eye-hand coordination but also in building children's resilience and perseverance in learning. The program recommends integrating a micro-curriculum based on stimulation zones into daily learning plans and strengthening partnerships with parents to maintain consistency in children's development.

This study aims to evaluate the validity, effectiveness, and practicality of developing problem-based teaching materials for improving student learning outcomes. The research focuses on a practical module for the subject of electric motor installation at SMKN 1 Driyorejo, where interviews and needs assessment revealed issues such as teacher-centered learning and limited student resources, primarily relying on notebooks. These factors have hindered optimal learning outcomes. The development of problem-based learning modules was intended to address these issues and improve cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning outcomes. The research follows a Research & Development (R&D) approach with four steps: 1) Define, 2) Design, 3) Develop, and 4) Disseminate, using a one-shot case study trial design. The study involved 30 students of grade XI TITL 1 at SMKN 1 Driyorejo. Results showed the module’s validity at 3.66, practicality based on student responses at 89.25, and effectiveness with cognitive, psychomotor, and affective outcomes of 84.93, 89.40, and 94.00, respectively. These findings suggest that the problem-based practical module is valid, practical, and effective for improving student learning outcomes across various domains.

The increasing use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in higher education generates large amounts of student activity data that have the potential to provide deeper insights into learning processes. However, in practice, these data are still rarely analyzed systematically to understand variations in students’ learning activity patterns, limiting their practical use in supporting teaching and learning. This study aims to explore students’ learning activity patterns in an LMS using a clustering approach based on activity data.This research utilizes the publicly available Open University Learning Analytics Dataset (OULAD), focusing on a single course and a single academic term. LMS activity data were processed through data cleaning and feature extraction, followed by student clustering using the K-Means algorithm. The quality of the clustering results was evaluated using the Silhouette Score, and visual analysis was applied to support the interpretation of the results.The results indicate that students’ learning activities can be grouped into two main patterns, namely a group of students with high learning activity and a group with lower or moderate activity levels. These findings highlight the existence of heterogeneous learning behaviors among students, even within the same learning context.The identified learning activity patterns provide an initial foundation for utilizing LMS data to monitor student engagement and to support the development of more responsive, data-driven learning approaches in higher education.

This study conducts a qualitative literature review on students' awareness in following school rules as a reflection of high internal motivation forming self-discipline without pressure, and examines the influence of time management discipline on the effectiveness of achieving Islamic Education learning outcomes. The analysis reveals that awareness in following rules develops through a long process of value internalization, starting from external compliance due to fear of punishment, shifting to compliance due to understanding the benefits of rules, and finally reaching a stage where rules are followed because their values have merged with self-identity. Factors such as dialogical rule socialization, teacher role modeling, conducive social environment, educational sanction systems, and consistent implementation significantly determine the success of this internalization. Meanwhile, time management discipline significantly influences the effectiveness of Islamic Education learning outcomes. Students with time management skills can organize study schedules, allocate time for reflection and appreciation of religious material, and consistently perform worship. The impact is seen not only in cognitive aspects through academic grades, but also in affective aspects through religious awareness and psychomotor aspects through regular worship behavior. These findings imply the need for schools to shift disciplinary development paradigms from authoritarian approaches focused on supervision and punishment toward humanist approaches focused on value internalization.

The English Fun Tales program is a community service activity aimed at improving children's English literacy through the use of picture books. This activity was carried out at Rumah Belajar Jadi Mulya, Salatiga, which serves as a non-formal learning center for children from the surrounding area. The background of this program stems from the limited access of children in the area to attractive, interactive, and developmentally appropriate English learning resources. The implementation method includes: (1) providing English picture books selected according to the children's language ability and age; (2) guided shared reading activities; (3) simple discussions about story content to train comprehension; and (4) creative activities such as drawing story characters, role-playing, or story retelling. This approach is designed to combine cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, so that children not only understand vocabulary and language structure but also develop imagination, self-confidence, and reading interest. The implementation results show an increase in reading interest, expansion of English vocabulary, and children's courage in expressing themselves orally. In addition, social interaction among participants becomes more positive through collaborative activities. This program is expected to serve as a model for English literacy learning based on picture books that can be replicated in other learning communities with local context adjustments.
