Student organizations in schools play an important role as social institutions that support character building and the development of students’ social and leadership skills. However, in practice, many students still perceive school organizations merely as formal or administrative activities, resulting in low participation and limited understanding of their educational value. This condition highlights the need for socialization activities that emphasize meaningful organizational learning. This community service activity aims to strengthen students’ understanding of the role of school organizations as social learning spaces. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed involving 30 eleventh-grade students at SMK Muhammadiyah 04 Boyolali. Data were collected through observation, discussion notes, and students’ responses during interactive sessions.The activity was conducted through teacher coordination, material preparation, material presentation, and discussion and question-and-answer sessions. The results indicate an improvement in students’ understanding of the functions and benefits of student organizations as social institutions. Students showed increased awareness of the importance of cooperation, discipline, responsibility, and communication, as well as greater motivation to actively participate in school organizations. These findings suggest that participatory and dialogical socialization is effective in promoting meaningful organizational learning and supporting students’ character development.

Learning Indonesian language and literature in elementary schools plays an important role in shaping students' character through the integration of literary works based on local culture. Lampung poetry as a representation of local wisdom contains educational values, such as religiosity, respect for parents, polite language, mutual cooperation, and environmental awareness. This study aims to describe the educational values ​​and local wisdom in Lampung poetry and their relevance to the character formation of elementary school students. The research method used is a literature review by analyzing references in the form of scientific articles, textbooks, Lampung poetry texts, and previous research results related to character education, regional literature, and local wisdom-based learning. The results of the study indicate that Lampung poetry is effective as a literary learning medium to instill character values, especially those in line with the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile, namely faith and piety, mutual cooperation, creativity, and global diversity. Practical implementation can be done through literary appreciation activities, reflective discussions on cultural values, and assignments to write poetry based on students' local experiences. The conclusion of this study confirms that systematically integrating Lampung poetry into Indonesian language learning has significant potential to strengthen students' character education while preserving local culture amidst the challenges of globalization.  

This study aims to analyze the change in word choice in Indonesian children's songs from the classical to modern times as a reflection of the shift in the social environment in the digital era. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a content analysis method on eight children's songs, consisting of four classic songs by A. T. Mahmud and four popular modern songs on digital platforms such as YouTube. The results showed that classical songs highlight concrete and local vocabulary that describe children's closeness to nature, family, and moral values, while modern songs are dominated by global, repetitive, and phonetic vocabulary that reflect the influence of globalization and the digital lifestyle of today's children. In addition, modern songs tend to contain simple expressions that are easy to remember, but have minimal educational value compared to classical songs that are more loaded with moral messages. This shift shows that the language in children's songs not only serves as a medium of entertainment, but also reflects the changing social and cultural values of Indonesian society. Therefore, the study of children's song language is important to understand the dynamics of popular cultural development that affects the process of character formation of the younger generation.

Traditional games are an important part of cultural heritage that carry educational values and can serve as an enjoyable and effective learning medium for children. Through the Community Service Program (KKN), university students organized traditional game competitions during the Independence Day celebration with village children. The activities aimed not only to provide entertainment but also to foster children’s learning motivation, enhance social interaction, and develop their personal character. This study employed observation, interviews, and documentation to collect accurate data. A total of 30 children were recorded as participants, although the actual number of participants in the competitions was higher. Ten children were purposively selected as interview respondents to gain deeper insights into their experiences. The results revealed that most children felt happy and enthusiastic while participating in the competitions. They also acquired important educational values such as teamwork, concentration, patience, perseverance, and enthusiasm for learning. Moreover, the majority of respondents stated that participating in the traditional games motivated them to be more engaged in school learning and encouraged them to study harder after the activities. Therefore, the revitalization of traditional games during the Independence Day celebration can serve as an effective alternative medium to enhance children’s learning motivation, strengthen social interaction, and preserve local cultural heritage. This study suggests that integrating cultural activities into educational practices can positively influence children’s attitudes toward learning while maintaining the community’s cultural identity.

This research is motivated by changes in the community that carries out the mitoni tradition. The mitoni tradition is a native tradition of Java pioneered by Hinduism and Buddhism, which used to be carried out in the Javanese or Kejawen way but has changed over time. This change is caused by the development of an increasingly modern era and the arrival of Islam to Indonesia. The changes that have occurred are about the elements of the ritual, from the original complete Kejawen ritual to a more spiritual tradition that has an Islamic feel without leaving the core of the tradition and the noble values contained. This research is a qualitative research that uses the type of field research and data collection using observation, interview and documentation methods. Then the analysis technique is through data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The informants in this research are the village head, religious leaders, traditional leaders and several people from Bangun Rejo Village, South Solok Regency.  The results of this study indicate that in the implementation of the mitoni tradition there are several processions carried out during the day and night, where the processions carried out during the day are not all in accordance with Islamic teachings. Along with the development of an increasingly modern era, there have been many changes in the implementation of the mitoni tradition where some people only carry out the mitoni tradition by holding a simple kenduri and thanksgiving. The implementation of the mitoni tradition also contains Islamic educational values, namely the value of faith education in the form of sungkeman, brojolan, lawuhan, kenduri and kepungan processions. The value of worship education in the form of the siraman procession. The value of moral education in the form of a procession of sending prayers and reading the holy verses of the Qur’an. With the values of Islamic education that have developed in the mitoni tradition, the people of Bangun Rejo Village still maintain the mitoni tradition to this day.

The essence of education is the teaching and learning process. The better the teaching and learning process is implemented, the better the quality of education will be.
