Kapok range is a natural fiber that has considerable potential in the form of cellulose and can be enhanced by its physical and mechanical value cellulose. This study aims to analyze the character of cellulose produced from kapok and isolation. The cellulose isolation method used a factorial complete randomized design, namely the first factor of NaOH concentration (4%, 6%, and 8%) and the second factor of extraction time (40, 50, and 60 minutes). The cellulose isolation process showed that the method did not significantly affect the yield of randu kapok cellulose. The highest yield and degree of whiteness resulted from the treatment of 4% NaOH concentration and 40 minutes of extraction time with a yield of 6.54 ± 0.82%. The following result showed that the treatment had a significant effect on the results of the degree of whiteness. The highest degree of whiteness resulted from the treatment of 8% NaOH concentration and 60 minute extraction time of 30 ± 0.7. The cellulose isolation results of kapok resulted in cellulose content of 90.15 ± 0.81%, hemicellulose content of 3.6 ± 0.52%, and lignin content of 0.91 ± 0.03%. The analyzed properties provide a strong basis for considering the potential use of such cellulose nanofibers in various industrial applications, such as the manufacture of sustainable composite materials or other valueadded products.

Teachers are expected to be able to carry out learning in accordance with the merdeka curriculum, including the use of teaching modules in accordance with the provisions of the curriculum. Ideally, teachers can design teaching modules optimally. However, in reality, many teachers are not yet able to create teaching modules merdekaly according to the needs and situations in their learning environment. Several teachers stated that it required additional time, money and energy to compose teaching modules comprehensively, which became an obstacle in preparing teaching modules merdekaly. The Office Management and Business Services Skills Program (MPLB) in Phase F is not included in the Center of Excellence (PK) Vocational School program, part of the merdeka learning program. The aim of this service activity is to strengthen partners' skills in compiling merdeka curriculum teaching modules through several stages: socialization, training, mentoring and evaluation. This devotion was carried out for one week from June 26 to July 3, 2024 offline with 25 teacher participants at State Vocational School 2, Semarang City. The evaluation results show an increase in participants' abilities and skills in compiling Phase F teaching modules according to the existing learning environment.

This study aimed to develop and evaluate Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media to enhance students’ cognitive abilities at State Vocational High School (SMK Negeri) 2 Pati, particularly in the subject of Computer Networking and the Internet. The research was motivated by low student achievement in meeting the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKTP), which was primarily attributed to the continued reliance on traditional teaching methods and low student motivation. A research and development (R&D) approach was employed using the ADDIE model. The resulting AR media is an Android application that integrates text, audio, images, animations, interactive 3D objects, and simulations, and is in accordance with the Merdeka Curriculum. Expert evaluations showed a very high level of feasibility, with ratings of 94% from a subject matter expert and 91% from a media expert. These results were further supported by Aiken’s V index, which indicated very high validity for the material (0.921) and high validity for the media (0.881). A practicality test was conducted, revealing a high level of effectiveness, with a 94% approval rating from both teachers and students. Moreover, a pretest–posttest control group design demonstrated significant progress in learning outcomes. The experimental group achieved an average post-test score of 83.75, significantly higher than the control group’s 73.60. Based on the N-Gain test, the experimental group achieved an average gain of 65.52% (moderately effective), whereas the control group achieved only 38.75% (ineffective). This study contributes to the theories of learning transfer, connectivism, and heutagogy, and offers practical implications for vocational education in adopting innovative technologies.
