Rina Insani Setyowati — 2025-08-14

Children’s school readiness is a critical factor in determining their future academic and social success. The transition from Early Childhood Education (ECE) to primary school often presents a significant challenge for young learners. At this stage, the role of parents and ECE institutions becomes crucial in ensuring children are adequately prepared to navigate this shift. Failure to achieve a smooth transition can result in anxiety, discomfort, and difficulties adapting to the new school environment. Therefore, special attention must be given to support children’s readiness for entering the next level of education. Purpose of the Study: The primary objective of strengthening the involvement of parents and ECE units in preparing children for school is to foster a positive and low-stress transition from early education to primary education. Methods: This initiative was carried out on September 12, 2024, using a combination of interactive dialogue, lectures, group discussions, and Q&A sessions. Results: Through awareness-building efforts directed at parents and ECE educators, children’s readiness for school can be enhanced by stimulating essential social, emotional, and academic competencies required in a primary school setting. (5) Conclusions: By conducting outreach to parents and teachers at Al Hidayah Kindergarten Sanankulon, this program aimed to facilitate a joyful and confident transition to primary school. As a result, children are expected to enter elementary school with a stronger sense of self-confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

Peningkatan Literasi Digital Pelayanan PBB-P2 Berbasis Aplikasi SiPBB TRENGGINAS Melalui Pelatihan dan Pendampingan Bagi Aparatur Desa

Arief Hendra Kurniawan — 2025-08-15

The advancement of information technology has had a significant impact on public services, including in the area of regional taxation. One of the innovations introduced by the Government of Magelang Regency is SIPBB Trengginas, a web-based application designed to facilitate the management of Land and Building Tax (PBB) data, expedite the data updating process, and enhance transparency at the village level. This community service activity was carried out through the thematic Community Service Program (KKN) in Trenten Village, aimed at improving the capacity of village officials in using SIPBB Trengginas, particularly in the features of rights transfer mutation and the addition of new objects. The method employed was hands-on practice, starting with basic training at the BPPKAD of Magelang Regency, followed by intensive assistance to village officials. The results of this activity indicate that the assistance was effective, as village officials were able to operate the mutation and new object addition features independently, allowing for faster and more accurate updates of PBB data. However, several challenges were encountered, such as a lack of understanding of the overall system workflow and varying levels of digital literacy among village officials. As a sustainability measure, the KKN team has developed and submitted a user guide module for SIPBB Trengginas to support self-learning and long-term utilization of the application.

Supian Supian — 2025-08-15

The community service program at MI Ihsaniyah, Jambi City, aimed to strengthen the development of students’ religious character through collaborative mentoring between teachers and parents, based on effective communication.

Parents became more confident, empathetic, and actively involved in the character-building process. The communication forum served as a sustainable collaboration platform, fostering a synergistic educational ecosystem and becoming a replicable model for religious character development in other schools.

Pemanfaatan Pestisida Nabati Ekstrak Daun Pepaya sebagai Pengendalian Ramah Lingkungan dalam Mendukung Ketahanan Pangan Berkelanjutan

Shaqila Mazaya Andira — 2025-08-28

This community service program addresses the critical role of food security in national development, acknowledging that agricultural productivity is often challenged by pests and diseases. While chemical pesticides are commonly used for pest control, their long-term application leads to negative environmental impacts, including increased pest resistance and harmful residues on food products. Therefore, there is a clear need for environmentally friendly, easy-to-use, and safe alternative pest control methods for household scale application. This initiative focuses on the potential of papaya leaf extract (Carica papaya L.) as a natural pesticide due to its bioactive compounds like papain, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, and tannins, which possess insecticidal and antimicrobial properties. The program employed a participatory educational approach in Dukuhmencek Village, involving community members, particularly active women farmers. Activities included socialization on the dangers of chemical pesticides and the benefits of natural alternatives, demonstrations of simple papaya leaf extract preparation, distribution of the natural pesticide, and guidance on its application in home gardens. Primary data was collected through interviews and observations to understand community perceptions, knowledge, and needs regarding eco-friendly pest control. The results showed that the application of papaya leaf extract effectively controlled pests like caterpillars and aphids, leading to healthier plants and reduced leaf damage. This successful implementation fostered community confidence in natural pesticides as a reliable, long-term solution, promoting environmental sustainability and reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals. The program not only enhanced technical skills but also contributed to community self-reliance and strengthened food security.

Eksplorasi Kualitatif Faktor Penghambat Adopsi Teknologi Rainwater Harvesting di Daerah Rawan Kekeringan

Syahrul Rezi Ismail — 2025-08-30

This qualitative research aims to explore in depth the factors inhibiting the adoption of Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) technology in drought-prone communities, focusing on non-technical aspects that are socio-cultural, perceptual, and psychological. This study uses a phenomenological approach through qualitative methods. Data was collected from communities in drought-prone areas through in-depth interviews and Pumped Group Discussions (FGDs). Data analysis was carried out thematically to identify key patterns and themes. This study reveals five main themes as inhibitors of RWH adoption: (1) Public perception that rainwater is "dirty" and unfit for consumption, while groundwater and PDAM water are considered "clean" and guaranteed; (2) Economic constraints and priority allocation of family funds; (3) Perception of technological complexity and concerns about treatment; (4) Institutional weaknesses and social dynamics in management; and (5) Beliefs and cultural norms that view drought as a destiny. These findings suggest that the biggest obstacle is not in the technical aspect, but in the construction of entrenched social perceptions, values, and norms. The success of community service programs in implementing civil engineering technology such as RWH is highly dependent on understanding the socio-cultural context of the community. An approach that focuses only on technical solutions will fail to guarantee adoption and sustainability. A holistic, participatory, and culturally sensitive intervention strategy is needed, which not only provides infrastructure but also builds strong local awareness, confidence, and institutions to create sustainable water resilience.
