This community service program aims to strengthen the competence of automotive workshop MSMEs in mastering microcontroller-based starter system technology, enabling them to adapt to the era of vehicle digitalization. The program was carried out through several stages: identification of training needs, delivery of basic theory on microcontrollers and starter systems, practical sessions in module assembly and programming, followed by mentoring and evaluation. The results of the evaluation showed an 85% increase in participants’ understanding of the digital starter system concept, an 80% improvement in module assembly and programming skills, and a 75% increase in readiness to apply innovative starter systems in workshop services. The novelty of this activity lies in the development of a more applicable digital starter system model tailored to the needs of small-scale workshops. The implementation emphasized a participatory, practice-based approach using learning by doing. Participants, mainly workshop owners and technicians, were guided step by step from component recognition, software operation with Arduino IDE, to the prototyping of functional microcontroller-based starter systems. To ensure sustainability, the program also provided training modules, video tutorials, and online mentoring, allowing participants to continue practicing independently after the training. Beyond improving technical competence, this activity also fostered an innovative mindset among participants, making them more confident to provide modern, technology-oriented services. In the long term, the program is expected to enhance the competitiveness of automotive MSMEs, strengthen customer trust, and build collaborative networks between higher education institutions and local workshops in supporting vocational education and digital transformation.

Adolescent career independence is a crucial aspect in facing the increasingly competitive world of work. This article discusses the role of education and environment in shaping adolescent career independence. Education, both formal and non-formal, provides the foundation of skills and knowledge needed to enter the world of work. On the other hand, the environment, including family, peers, and social communities, plays a role in shaping adolescents' mindsets, values, and motivations in planning their future. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study to explore the factors that influence adolescent career independence. The results show that quality education, effective career guidance, and positive environmental support contribute greatly to increasing adolescent readiness to make career decisions independently. In conclusion, collaboration between education, family, and society is key to building a young generation that is independent and ready to face the challenges of the world of work.

Students are the next generation of the nation and need to be equipped with information or news that is up-to-date and contains positive and motivating values. This can be influenced by the use of good and correct language in providing information that can be accounted for its truth. The lack of critical reading literacy can affect the application of values ​​and mindsets of each individual. The development of increasingly sophisticated technology also has positive and negative impacts, especially in the use of inappropriate language that has an impact on misunderstandings related to the intent and purpose of information. In addition, the news presented does not match the elements of the news text, causing chaos, misunderstanding, and the emergence of hoax news that is easily spread to the public. This study aims to help students analyze the structure and language that is good and correct in the news text used as a learning resource. This study is also expected to provide both theoretical and practical benefits. Theoretically, the results of this study can be one of the literature on news texts that contain linguistic analysis found in online newspaper media. In addition, this study does not only discuss language, but also provides information or understanding regarding the characteristics of each online newspaper media that can be considered as a learning resource in schools. Practically, the results of this study are expected to be useful for teachers to understand and meet students' needs according to the competencies to be achieved in the learning process. In addition, the results of this study are expected to prevent language errors, especially in news texts so that the information conveyed can be well received by the public, especially students.

Education is an important element in developing children's minds, especially in rural areas where education is often not a priority. The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of education on the way children think in Kalirejo Village, Kraton District, Pasuruan Regency. The method used was a quantitative design with a survey approach, with 22 randomly selected respondents. Information is obtained through surveys that assess educational variables and children's thinking patterns. The results show that the applied regression model shows satisfactory performance, with an R Square value of 0.634, which means that education can explain around 63.4% of the variation in children's thinking patterns. The t test results show that education has a significant influence on children's thinking patterns, with a significance value of 0.000. The impact of this research is the importance of increasing access and quality of education in rural areas, as well as the need for policies that encourage public awareness of the role of education in children's future. It is hoped that this research can become a reference for the government and related parties in designing more effective education strategies.

This article analyzes the representation of culture shock in Andrea Hirata's novel Edensor, focusing on the experiences of the main characters, Ikal and Arai, as they interact with European culture. Using Kalvero Oberg's culture shock theory, which includes the stages of honeymoon, crisis, recovery, and adjustment, this study explores how both characters undergo shifts in mindset and attitudes when confronted with foreign cultural values. The paper also discusses the impact of culture shock on their character development and its relevance in today's global socio-cultural context, including migration and international education. Through this analysis, it is understood that culture shock is not merely a clash of cultures, but also a crucial process for learning and personal growth. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to interdisciplinary literary studies, particularly in understanding the relationship between literature and social-cultural phenomena.
