The Community Service Program (KKN) was implemented with the aim of fostering and enhancing the entrepreneurial spirit and skills of Junior High School (SMP) students through an Entrepreneurship Workshop at SMP PAB 23 Bandar Klippa. This program was designed using a practice-based participatory learning approach (learning by doing), which positions students as active subjects in all stages of the activity, from planning, production, to product marketing. A total of 39 seventh grade students were directly involved in this activity. Through this experiential learning process, students had the opportunity to develop creative thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in a real-life setting. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in several entrepreneurial indicators, namely student self-confidence increased from 55% to 85%, communication skills from 60% to 88%, and interest in entrepreneurship from 50% to 83%. These findings prove that the practice-based learning method is effective in fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and independent character in students. Furthermore, this Community Service Program (KKN) activity demonstrates collaboration between universities and schools in implementing contextual and applicable entrepreneurship education. It also has the potential to be developed as a sustainable learning model to support the achievement of the Pancasila Student Profile, particularly in the dimensions of creativity, independence, and mutual cooperation.

Mathematics learning plays an essential role in developing students’ logical, systematic, and analytical thinking skills. One of the higher-order thinking abilities that serves as a main focus in mathematics education is mathematical reasoning. This ability is closely related to the process of mathematical proof, which functions to justify the truth of a statement logically. This study aims to examine the relationship between the understanding of proof concepts and the development of mathematical reasoning among junior high school students through a library research approach. Data were obtained from various sources such as textbooks, journal articles, research findings, and relevant educational documents. The analysis was conducted using the content analysis method to review both conceptual and empirical findings from the literature. The results indicate that understanding the concept of proof not only helps students comprehend the logical structure of mathematics but also contributes to the development of deductive and reflective reasoning skills. Engaging in proof activities enables students to shift from merely imitative reasoning toward independent logical construction (creative reasoning). However, teaching proof at the junior high school level still faces several challenges, such as students’ limited understanding of basic logic, time constraints, and the lack of teacher training in teaching proof effectively. Therefore, learning strategies that emphasize students’ thought processes, provide opportunities for exploration, and integrate proof activities into meaningful learning contexts are needed.

The need to strengthen literacy in Indonesian language learning requires teachers to be innovative in designing assessment instruments that are relevant to current developments. One approach that can be used is the application of multimodal texts, namely texts that combine various communication modes such as writing, images, sound, and symbols to convey meaning more comprehensively. This community service program was carried out with the aim of improving the competence of Indonesian language teachers at the junior high school level throughout Sragen Regency in developing literacy questions based on multimodal texts that align with the demands of the Independent Curriculum. The activity was carried out through two months of intensive training and mentoring, which included a theoretical understanding of the concept of multimodal texts, analysis of sample questions, and practice in developing literacy-based assessment instruments. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in teachers' understanding of the principles of multimodal texts and their ability to design questions that challenge students' critical and creative thinking skills. Through this program, teachers not only gained new knowledge but also were motivated to be more adaptive to developments in digital media and innovation in learning. Thus, this activity contributed to improving the quality of Indonesian language learning that is contextual, interactive, and meaningful for students.

N the rapidly evolving digital era, decision-making has become a critical aspect across various fields, including education, where choices such as selecting an Islamic boarding school (pondok pesantren) are often influenced by complex and subjective factors. This study addresses the dilemma faced by Diyah, a junior high school student, in determining the best reasons for choosing Pondok Pesantren Darularafah Raya, highlighting the limitations of manual, personal-based processes that fail to systematically consider measurable criteria like educational quality, learning environment, facilities, discipline, and instilled religious values. The advancement of information technology provides a solution through Decision Support Systems (DSS), utilizing the ORESTE (Organization, Rangement Et Synthèse De Données Relationnelles) method, which effectively processes ordinal data to produce objective rankings based on subjective yet structured preferences. Unlike other methods such as SAW or AHP that rely on numerical data, ORESTE emphasizes relative preference weights, making it suitable for individual decision-making contexts like educational choices. The novelty of this research lies in applying ORESTE in a DSS focused on analyzing an individual's best reasons for selecting a pesantren, aiming to reduce subjective bias and enhance rationality. The primary objective is to develop a DSS using the ORESTE method to analyze and determine Diyah's optimal reasons for choosing the pesantren. Through this, the system is expected to accelerate evaluation processes, improve objectivity, and identify dominant factors influencing educational decisions. Findings from the implementation demonstrate accurate rankings that prioritize key criteria, leading to more efficient and data-driven outcomes. Implications include aiding students, schools, and educators in understanding influential factors, fostering objective assessment systems, and serving as a reference for future studies integrating MCDM methods with computer-based systems in personalized educational decision-making.

The current education system is facing a crucial dilemma: the intensifying focus on cognitive achievement amidst the specific challenges faced by Generation Z. Junior high school students aged 12–15, who are digital natives, are at risk of reduced social interaction and mental health issues due to high screen time. Addressing this urgency, this study aims to describe the strategic role of dance arts education in shaping character and creativity, and to identify implementation solutions at SMP Negeri 1 Wonogiri. This descriptive qualitative study utilized 8 students active in dance as primary subjects, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that dance arts, through an embodied learning approach based on physical movement, is highly effective in cultivating character. Values such as discipline, which is transferred from the punctuality required in practice to general school life , collective responsibility , and self-confidence that overcomes social awkwardness, grew significantly. Furthermore, dance reinforces authentic cooperation and cultural appreciation. In terms of creativity, the activity encourages movement exploration, improvisation, and creative problem-solving. Psychologically, dance practice functions as a positive coping mechanism that effectively lowers adolescent stress levels. Although constraints exist, such as limited instructional time (80 minutes per week) , adaptive solutions like strengthening extracurricular activities and the peer tutoring system are being implemented. This research concludes that dance arts education is an essential and strategic medium for developing holistic competencies, including the 4Cs (Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication) and the Profil Pelajar Pancasila.

Technological advancements in education have led to major transformations, particularly with the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum, which emphasizes learning flexibility, student-centered approaches, and educator autonomy in developing innovative teaching methods. One of its essential aspects is the integration of technology for managing educational data, including student health records. At SMP IT Mutia Rahma, biannual student health monitoring has generated a growing volume of data, making it difficult to identify students experiencing psychological challenges. Adolescent mental health problems—such as learning stress, anxiety, and social pressure—can negatively affect academic performance if left unaddressed. This study aims to group students based on their mental health conditions to support more effective intervention strategies. The K-Means Algorithm, a data mining technique for clustering data by similarity, was employed to analyze student health data. The results show that in a three-cluster model, Cluster 2 represents students in a stable condition characterized by high resilience and low counseling needs, indicating good mental health and academic engagement. Meanwhile, Clusters 1 and 3 include students requiring further attention and support. This research demonstrates that the K-Means Algorithm can serve as an effective tool in identifying and categorizing student mental health conditions to improve school-based health management and early intervention programs.
