This study aims to explore issues faced by students and the contribution of guidance and counseling (BK) services in addressing various challenges at MTSN Cirebon. The issues studied include low levels of discipline, school withdrawal behavior, lack of learning motivation, and smoking habits among students. This study employed a qualitative, descriptive approach. Participants in the study consisted of BK teachers, students, and student organizations (OSIM and MPK) selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model involving data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Its validity was tested through triangulation of sources and techniques. The findings of this study indicate that the issues faced by students are influenced by internal and external factors, such as lack of self-awareness, low learning motivation, environmental impacts, and excessive use of social media. BK services play a vital role in addressing these issues through preventive and curative approaches, as well as collaboration between teachers, students, parents, and school organizations. In addition, consistent discipline, engaging learning methods, and monitoring of student behavior are also crucial elements in problem-solving efforts. This research confirms that resolving student issues requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach across all parties within the school environment. Guidance and counseling services play a strategic role in supporting students in overcoming challenges and developing their full potential.

Collecting donations for natural disaster victims is a form of social solidarity widely practiced by the community, including students. However, in practice, these fundraising activities must be carried out in accordance with applicable legal provisions, specifically Regulation of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 8 of 2021 concerning the Implementation of the Collection of Money or Goods (PUB). This study aims to analyze the implementation of Ministerial Regulation Number 8 of 2021 in the practice of collecting donations for natural disasters by students. The research method used is a normative empirical research method with a legislative and sociological approach. Data were obtained through literature review and interviews with the Social Services Agency and student organizations. The results show that the implementation of Ministerial Regulation Number 8 of 2021 in student fundraising activities has actually taken place, but is not yet fully optimal. This is evident in the continued discovery of donation collections carried out without official permits from authorized agencies and the lack of accountability reporting for collected funds. This condition indicates that the level of compliance with administrative provisions in the implementation of fundraising is still relatively low. Therefore, increased regulatory dissemination, more effective oversight, and increased legal awareness among students are needed to ensure that fundraising activities are carried out transparently, accountably, and in accordance with applicable laws.

Indonesian Sign Language (Bahasa Isyarat Indonesia, BISINDO) is often misunderstood as merely a gestural or simplified form of communication, undermining its linguistic sophistication and contributing to barriers to deaf inclusion in Indonesia. Approximately 2.6 million deaf individuals in the country rely on BISINDO as their primary language. This study explores the linguistic complexity of BISINDO, documenting its phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic systems. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyzed 150 hours of BISINDO conversations from 80 deaf signers, conducted experimental studies on phonological distinctions and syntactic complexity, and performed ethnographic fieldwork in deaf communities and schools. Comparative analysis with American Sign Language (ASL) was also conducted. Our findings demonstrate that BISINDO is a fully developed natural language, with 45 handshapes, 18 locations, 23 movements, and 4 orientations in its phonological system. It shows productive morphological processes, flexible word order, and rich semantics, including idioms and metaphors. However, there are significant barriers to inclusion: 68% of deaf students lack qualified BISINDO teachers, and 84% of public services lack sign language interpreters. Furthermore, 72% of hearing Indonesians still do not recognize BISINDO as a legitimate language. Deaf community organizations, however, report BISINDO as central to their identity. The study highlights the need for policy reforms, including BISINDO recognition as an official language, qualified interpreters, bilingual deaf education, and public awareness campaigns to combat misconceptions.    

English speaking skill is a crucial competence for university students, particularly those involved in student organizations focusing on language development. Members of English clubs are expected to actively use English in academic and organizational contexts; however, many still face challenges related to pronunciation accuracy, fluency, limited active vocabulary, and low confidence. These challenges are often caused by limited structured speaking practice and insufficient integration between digital learning tools and communicative pedagogy.This community service program aimed to enhance the English-speaking skills of members of the Bhamada English Club at Universitas Bhamada Slawi through the utilization of the Duolingo application integrated with a Task-Based Learning (TBL) approach. The program was implemented through three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Activities included needs analysis, speaking pre-test, guided Duolingo practice focusing on pronunciation and speaking features, task-based speaking activities, and post-test evaluation.The results demonstrated improvements in pronunciation accuracy, speaking fluency, and participants’ confidence in using English orally. The integration of Duolingo as a source of comprehensible input and Task-Based Learning as a communicative output strategy proved effective in enhancing speaking skills. This program indicates that technology-supported task-based instruction can serve as an effective and sustainable model for improving English speaking skills among university students.

This study is expected to serve as a reference for higher education institutions and student organizations in designing programs that support the development of students’ soft skills, particularly public speaking abilities.

Students have a strategic role as agents of change that requires adequate leadership and managerial skills. Formal learning in the classroom has not been able to fully develop these practical skills. This community service activity aims to improve the basic management skills of students at the Faculty of Computer Science, Universitas Dian Nuswantoro through Basic Student Management Skills Training (LKMM TD) with the theme Sailing Beyond Limits. The implementation method uses a Participatory Learning Action approach that includes problem identification, strategic planning, activity implementation, and joint evaluation. The activity was attended by 193 students from student organizations and general students. The learning process was carried out through lectures, case studies, discussions, group work, and pre- and post-tests. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in participant capacity, marked by an increase in the average score from 68.21 percent in the pre-test to 91.69 percent. LKMM TD activities effectively equip students with managerial, leadership, communication, and motivational control skills as provisions for carrying out the role of student agents of change.

Public Relations (PR) plays a strategic role in building effective organizational communication, including within student organizations. The Communication Studies Student Association (Himakom) of Muhammadiyah University of Jakarta (UMJ), as an internal campus organization, requires a PR role to maintain internal relationships among members and external relationships with the academic community. This study aims to determine the role of Himakom UMJ Public Relations in building organizational communication on campus. The research method used was a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through literature studies and conceptual observations of student organization public relations activities. The results indicate that Himakom Public Relations plays a role as a communicator, information facilitator, organizational image builder, and liaison between the organization and internal and external publics. This role contributes to creating effective, harmonious, and sustainable organizational communication on the UMJ campus

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.

The growing demand for transparency, accountability, and measurable performance has transformed higher education institutions into complex public organizations required to deliver reliable and stakeholder-oriented services. Within this governance-driven environment, institutional governance plays a fundamental role in shaping service excellence and institutional legitimacy. Drawing on a public administration perspective, this study examines how governance dimensions influence academic service performance in higher education. This research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and institutional observations involving university leaders, academic administrators, faculty members, and students. The analysis focuses on governance dimensions—transparency, accountability, participation, effectiveness, and responsibility—and their integration into institutional systems such as performance management, quality assurance, and digital infrastructure. The findings reveal that governance frameworks are formally established through regulations and digital systems; however, their operational integration remains uneven. Transparency improves service reliability when supported by consistent information management, while accountability mechanisms tend to emphasize procedural compliance rather than performance-based evaluation. Stakeholder participation is institutionalized but largely consultative. The study concludes that service excellence in higher education is a governance-driven outcome that requires systemic alignment between governance principles, institutional capacity, and performance management processes. Strengthened governance integration enhances service reliability and institutional legitimacy.

The phenomenonoccurring in various universities shows an increase in cases of academic fraud, such as cheating, plagiarism, research data manipulation, and misuse of technology in the learning process. This behavior not only undermines academic integrity, but also has the potential tocreate a mindset of cheating that carries over into the workplace. Integrityis a fundamental value that forms the moral foundation of every aspect oflife, both in education and in the workplace. In the context of higher education, students are expected not only to excel academically,but also to possess honesty, responsibility, and strong professional ethics.Accountants are future professionals who will be directly involved inthe management and financial reporting of organizations. This profession demandsa very high level of honesty and integrity, because the accuracy andreliability of financial reports form the basis for business and public decision-making. However, in practice, there are many cases of accounting fraud, such as budget mark-ups, financial statement manipulation, creative accounting, and data misstatement, which occur due to weak values of integrity and moral responsibilityamong individuals. If dishonest behavior has already been established during college—for example, in the form of cheating, manipulating assignment data, or falsifying lab reports—then the risk of bringing similar habits into the workplace will be even higher. Integrity is a core competency (core comp) that determines a person's quality as an organizational asset

Knowledge must be managed effectively to facilitate transfer between individuals, groups, and organizations. The Informatics Engineering study program currently lacks a system for knowledge management. Currently, the study program facilitates offline discussion forums for the sharing of knowledge gained by lecturers and students. These offline discussion forums require significant costs, time, and space, often resulting in delays in knowledge sharing. This research focused on the analysis and design of a Knowledge Management System to meet the needs of Informatics Engineering students at Universitas PGRI Madiun. The system development method used was the Knowledge Management System Lifecycle (KMSL). In this study, the TIF KMS system using the KMSL method has been successfully built. The results of testing using the Blackbox Testing method showed that 5 scenarios and 18 cases were successfully executed as expected with a 100% success rate. Based on the system test results, the TIF KMS is ready to proceed to the implementation stage. Future implementation can be done by developing additional features such as a digital library

The declining interest of students in joining organizations poses a challenge in character development and strengthening Pancasila values in higher education institutions. This study aims to investigate the causes of low student involvement in student organizations and to design strategies for strengthening the implementation of Pancasila values through organizational activities. A qualitative method is applied in this research through in-depth interviews with administrators, active members, and students with organizational experience. The data is then analyzed based on Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory to understand the social learning process as a shaper of student behavior. The research findings reveal that the low interest in organizing is caused by several factors, namely lack of institutional support, limited facilities, and minimal recognition for active students. Nevertheless, the role of student organizations is crucial in fostering discipline, a sense of responsibility, cooperation, and the spirit of deliberation that reflects Pancasila values. Strengthening efforts can be carried out through improved institutional development, providing awards to active students, and implementing organizational programs based on national values and Pancasila character.

This study aims to analyze the influence of student organizations, role conflict, and self-regulation on student academic achievement. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research sample consisted of 200 students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Surabaya(Unesa) who are active in student organizations. Data collection was conducted through distributing questionnaires with a Likert scale. Data analysis used multiple linear regression, accompanied by tests of validity, reliability, normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. The results showed that student organizations have a positive effect on student academic achievement. Role conflict has a negative effect on achievement. And self-regulation has a positive effect on academic achievement. All three variables simultaneously have a significant effect on academic achievement. The results of this study confirm that involvement in student organizations can have a positive impact on academic achievement if combined with strong self-regulation skills and effective role conflict management. Therefore, developing self-regulation skills and time management training should be part of student organization development programs in higher education.

This community service program aims to improve the basic accounting literacy of the students (santri) at Pondok Pesantren Nurmadani NW Montong Lisung as a strategic effort to strengthen their financial independence. The program was initiated in response to the limited understanding of systematic financial management among santri, despite their involvement in various economic activities within the pesantren, such as the cooperative, canteen, and student organizations. The activities were carried out through four main stages: needs assessment, socialization of basic accounting concepts, financial record-keeping training, and evaluation accompanied by follow-up assistance. Interactive learning methods and experiential learning approaches were applied to ensure that participants not only understood theoretical concepts but were also able to practice them directly. The results showed a significant increase in the santris’ knowledge of the basic accounting equation, general journal, ledger posting, and preparation of simple financial statements. In addition to improved knowledge, there was also a positive shift in attitudes toward the importance of transparency, accountability, and sound financial governance. Several pesantren units began implementing the financial recording formats introduced during the training. Overall, this program successfully enhanced the technical skills and financial awareness of the santri and contributed to strengthening the pesantren’s financial management practices in a more professional and sustainable manner.
