Arwin Halim — 2025-05-20

The lack of ability of the students of SMA Dharma Bakti Lubuk Pakam in mastering computers, especially the programming field, is a significant challenge in preparing them for the digital era. In the industrial era 4.0, mastering programming skills is essential, especially the Python programming language which is widely used in data analysis, artificial intelligence, and application development. To overcome this problem, Mikroskil University organized an introduction to Python programming training through Community Service activities. The training covered both theory and hands-on practice to build a better understanding. To measure the success of the training, the pre-test and post-test were conducted as well as a quiz-based evaluation. The training results showed a significant increase in students' understanding level of 85.42%. The results of the evaluation of the level of mastery of the training material showed that 26.67% of students mastered the material well, and 16.66% of students moderately mastered the material. However, 56.67% of the students still lacked mastery of the material due to the limited duration of the training and limited experience in programming. Overall, this training succeeded in improving digital literacy for students while supporting technological transformation in the school environment. To improve the effectiveness of the training, a longer training duration and more interactive learning methods are recommended. It is also recommended that similar training be extended to other schools to improve the programming skills of the younger generation and their readiness to face the challenges of the digital industry.

Ideal pregnancy spacing has a major impact not only on maternal and infant health, but also on the overall well-being of the family. Unplanned pregnancy spacing also has an impact on the mother's mental health, family economic limitations, and the quality of care that can be given to previous children. Therefore, appropriate pregnancy spacing is an important component in efforts to improve public health. However, the prevalence of long-term contraceptive methods (LMPs) in Indonesia is still low due to lack of knowledge and myths. Therefore, this community service aims to improve family health through education and implementation of LMPs as a pregnancy spacing strategy. Community service activities are carried out using the Counseling method in the Bara-Baraya Health Center work area. The stages of the activity include the preparation, implementation and evaluation stages. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in the level of knowledge of women of childbearing age regarding LMPs, participants understood the material that had been presented. Supporting factors for success include the active involvement of health workers and positive community acceptance of community-based education. The conclusion of the comprehensive LMP education and implementation activities can improve the understanding and use of LMPs in the community. It is recommended that similar programs be integrated into local health policies by expanding access to MKJP services and reducing existing cultural barriers.

Innovations in forage processing technology, especially through the manufacture of silage, are a strategic solution to improve the quality of animal feed in rural communities, including Muhammadiyah farmer groups in Karanganyar Regency. This study aims to analyze the application of silage technology as an alternative to feed forage processing among sheep and cattle farmers in Kedungjeruk Village, Karanganyar. By adopting forage processing technology into silage, it is hoped that it can increase the resilience of animal feed, reduce dependence on commercial feed, and increase livestock productivity in a sustainable manner. The methods used in this study involve training for farmers, the implementation of silage production, and the evaluation of the impact on the success of animal feed and the economy of farmers. The results of the study show that the application of silage technology is able to reduce the waste of forage forage, extend the shelf life of feed, and improving the quality of feed for livestock. Overall, this innovation has succeeded in making a positive contribution to increasing the independence of animal feed and farmers' income in the area, while supporting the development of a circular economy based on agriculture and livestock

Integrasi Visual Learning dan Gamifikasi dalam Pelatihan Public Speaking untuk Meningkatkan Kepercayaan Diri Mahasiswa Asrama Bibit Unggul Surabaya

Zahrotul Munawwaroh — 2025-05-20

Disparities in higher education access for underprivileged families in Indonesia perpetuate intergenerational poverty cycles. In response, the Surabaya City Government launched the program “Satu Keluarga Satu Sarjana” through full funding and accommodation at the Bibit Unggul Dormitory. Observations by the community service team and focus group discussions (FGDs) with the Surabaya Social Agency revealed that academic competence alone, without strengthening effective communication skills, risks hindering the competitiveness of students from underprivileged backgrounds. Using a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach, the team designed a public speaking training intervention integrating visual learning techniques and gamification. The methodology included: (1) anxiety-level surveys, (2) workshops on public speaking techniques and visual-based presentation strategies, (3) practical simulations, (4) gamified role-playing scenarios, and (5) collaborative feedback sessions. Active participation of students ensured contextual relevance. Evaluation results demonstrated significant improvement in self-confidence (pre-test-post-test) and the ability to articulate ideas. This community service initiative not only addresses psychological barriers but also establishes a sustainable soft skills development model for marginalized communities, while aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in reducing educational inequality.
