This community service activity aims to enhance the understanding of local business actors in Kanekes Village (Baduy Luar) regarding the implementation of a sales information system to support the management and marketing of traditional handicraft products. The main problems faced by partners include unstructured transaction recording, low utilization of sales data, and business management that is still based on memory. The implementation method uses a participatory approach through socialization, training, hands-on practice, and mentoring, with data collection techniques carried out through interviews and field observations. The activity was conducted on April 17, 2026, involving MSME handicraft actors as the main partners. The results show an increase in business actors’ understanding of the importance of sales recording systems as a basis for business management. Participants began to be able to record transactions in a more structured and simple manner and utilize sales data to monitor business performance and identify the most in-demand products. In addition, there was a shift in business management patterns from memory-based to simple data-based systems. This activity also encouraged improvements in digital literacy through the introduction of social media utilization and digital marketing strategies. Overall, this program contributes to strengthening the capacity of business actors and supporting the more effective and sustainable development of traditional product marketing.

Listening skills are frequently regarded as the most challenging aspect of English language acquisition due to the complexity of the cognitive processes involved. In an orphanage environment, limited access to learning resources remains a primary obstacle to the development of this competence. This community outreach initiative aims to sharpen the listening skills of children at the Bonang Orphanage in Banjarmasin through the integration of subtitled YouTube videos and interactive repetition drill techniques. The implementation method involved 20 children selected via purposive sampling, utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest design. The intervention procedure encompassed the presentation of listening strategies, interactive discussions, and structured repetition exercises designed to build phonological automaticity. Quantitative evaluation results indicated a significant improvement, with the participants' mean score rising from 82.9 on the pretest to 86.7 on the posttest, with a maximum achievement score of 94. The discussion reveals that the use of subtitles serves as a visual scaffolding mechanism that facilitates sound-to-form mapping, while repetition drills strengthen the participants' working memory. Overall, the utilization of digital media and repetitive exercises proved effective in lowering cognitive barriers and increasing the participants' active engagement in English language learning.

Education in Indonesia is currently undergoing many changes. The education system, curriculum, learning tools, learning media, and resources have also undergone major improvements, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. The learning process can not only be carried out face-to-face, but can also be done boldly. The application of learning media is designed to support students' attention, affective, cognitive, and compensatory. The Quizziz application can be a means of conducting formative assessments, because teachers can measure students' understanding by taking quizzes at the end of learning. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with subjects of class 8E students of SMPN 2 Semarang. The data collection techniques used are observation and documentation. The data analysis techniques used by researchers include three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and data conclusions. The results of this study show that the assessment format for class 8E students is on average above the KKM. The recapitulation results also show that the level of effectiveness of the questions used is by using multiple choice because in multiple choice questions students tend to get the best results, while in fill-in questions many students get less satisfactory results. The fill-in question model in the Quizziz application has several weaknesses, including if the teacher writes the answer key, the capitalization and punctuation must be correct. There is no tolerance for answers for students. Therefore, another option for teachers is to correct them manually. Another weakness in the Quizziz application with the multiple choice question model is that teachers cannot measure students' understanding in depth. Students tend to express their memory in answering.    

Science education in early childhood plays a crucial role in their cognitive and creative development. Science education in early childhood also has a vital role in supporting cognitive and creative development. This research aims to explore the benefits provided by science education in stimulating critical thinking, problem solving and innovation skills in children. Through qualitative and quantitative approaches, data is collected from various sources, including classroom observations, interviews with educators, and analysis of children's learning outcomes. The results showed that children who were involved in science activities from an early age showed significant improvements in cognitive skills such as memory, concentration and analytical abilities. Apart from that, science education has also been proven to encourage children's creativity by enriching their imagination and ability to think outside the box. This article concludes that the integration of science education in the PAUD curriculum not only supports children's intellectual development but also forms a strong foundation for creativity and innovation in the future. Therefore, it is important for educators and policy makers to recognize and prioritize science education as an essential component in early childhood education, science education must be a top priority in early childhood education strategies by educators and policy makers.
