Nadhia Rahmawati — 2024-12-24

This research project examines the role of students in community service activities, with a particular focus on the Taman Pendidikan Quran (TPQ) Nurul Iman in Warak, Salatiga, Central Java. A TPQ, or Taman Pendidikan Al-Quran, is a non-formal educational institution in Indonesia that specializes in teaching children the Quran, the holy book of Islam. These institutions typically offer lessons in reading, understanding, and memorizing the Quran. Additionally, TPQs often provide Islamic education, teaching young learners about the basic principles of Islam, such as prayers, fasting, and the Five Pillars of Islam. The objective of this activity is to enhance the efficacy of the TPQ in terms of the quality of learning to read the Quran and knowledge of Islamic history. The methodology employed is that of Qur'anic and historical studies. The results of the activity demonstrate that TPQ plays a pivotal role in enhancing the proficiency in Quranic reading through the implementation of multifaceted and experiential pedagogical approaches. Furthermore, TPQ has effectively instilled a comprehensive understanding of Islamic history through the incorporation of historical materials into the instructional curriculum. This activity proposes the formulation of a more structured curriculum and the provision of training for educators to further optimize TPQ's capacity in fostering a profound religious comprehension among learners.

Yopi Novita — 2024-12-29

The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has designated several fishing villages throughout Indonesia as kalaju villages, one of which is Cikiruhwetan Village, Pandeglang Regency, Banten Province. However, the development of kalaju village in Cikiruhwetan Village has not been optimized, so there is no visible difference between kalaju village and non-kalaju village. Therefore, in order to optimize the development of kalaju village, the village community needs to be equipped with various understandings that can improve their abilities, especially abilities in the field of capture fisheries. The improvement of understanding is carried out in the form of training or technical guidance involving the fishing community and agency employees and village officials. Changes or improvements in understanding were tested using written questions given at the beginning of the training (pre-test) and at the end of the training (post-test). Based on the evaluation results of the pre-test and post-test results, it can be seen that there is an increase in the understanding of the fishing community on the material provided. Although the increase in understanding has not been optimal, it can be done through regular training.

Eka Krisna Santoso — 2024-12-29

The acceptance of Civil Servant Candidates (CPNS) is an opportunity highly anticipated by the community to build a career in the government sector. However, tight competition and complex selection stages are often the main challenges for applicants. Many applicants fail due to a lack of understanding of the selection process, ineffective learning strategies, and minimal information about the success criteria. The partner of this Community Service activity is Giat Belajar Abadi. Giat Belajar Abadi (GBA) is a lifelong learning platform designed to help people improve their skills and expand their knowledge. This platform offers a variety of classes and learning programs related to business, self-development, and more. However, Giat Belajar Abadi has not yet opened a class for training strategies to pass the Civil Servant Candidate (CPNS) test. Therefore, a community service program is needed for Giat Belajar Abadi partners by opening a training class on CPNS test strategies. This class will help CPNS applicants to be better prepared for the selection, both technically and mentally, increasing their chances of success. The purpose of this Community Service activity is to increase understanding of CPNS selection strategies through Giat Belajar Abadi partners. Therefore, the target audience of this activity is CPNS applicants. The outcome of this Community Service program is an increased understanding of CPNS selection strategies. Through this program, it is hoped that the success rate of participants in the CPNS selection will increase, while creating more competent human resources ready to contribute to the government sector. This program also has a long-term impact on improving the quality of CPNS applicants’ preparation in the future.

Herlinda Effendi — 2024-12-24

Program Penguatan Kapasitas Kemahasiswaan team (PPK Ormawa) of Himpunan Mahasiswa Kimia (HIMASKA) of the Faculty of Mathematics and Science, Pakuan University has implemented a water resource conservation program to overcome floods and droughts that occur every year in Kalong Liud Village, Nanggung District, Bogor Regency, West Java Province. Water resource conservation with green ampel bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. ex. J.C) uses a combination of vegetative and agronomic methods with the aim of maximizing erosion control and surface flow of the Cikaniki River. This program began with a survey of village locations, socialization and education to maximize the sustainability of the implementation of the program by holding pre-tests and post-tests for community groups and residents around the Cikaniki River. After that, green ampel bamboo was planted on the cleared and dug land 50 cm deep with a hole diameter of 15 cm. The growth of green ampel bamboo is monitored and evaluated once a week to find out how to optimize its growth. As a result, young leaves grow from bamboo books after 3 (three) weeks of planting and maintenance. In addition, the provision of education and scientific approaches can increase public understanding and awareness of climate change that can cause flood disasters.
