Rowiyani Rowiyani — 2026-08-30

This community service activity aims to improve data literacy and strategic decision-making capacity among employees of SR Land Group (SRGroup), a business group engaged in property development and shopping-mall management with business units spread across several cities. The activity employed a one-group pretest-posttest evaluation design combined with a practice-based training approach (experiential learning), comprising interactive lectures, demonstrations, hands-on practice, case studies, and a capstone project. The training involved 62 employees from eight business units and various job levels, from staff to board of directors, assigned by SRGroup's management and HR & GA division. Effectiveness was measured through pre-test and post-test questionnaires and a Google Form-based satisfaction survey completed by 39 participants (62.9% response rate) and analyzed using descriptive quantitative statistics. Results showed an increase in the average score from 69.7 (pre-test) to 93.2 (post-test), an improvement of approximately 33.7%. Overall satisfaction was high, with 87.2% of participants reporting being satisfied to very satisfied. Participants were also able to produce simple analytical dashboards using Google Looker Studio as the capstone project output. These findings indicate that practice-based training has the potential to improve data literacy and readiness for data-driven decision-making among cross-divisional employees, although the lack of a comparison group limits causal generalization. The novelty of this activity lies in its cross-divisional, integrated data-literacy training approach implemented within a medium-to-large property and retail company, a segment rarely targeted by community-based data literacy programs.

Linawati Hananta — 2026-09-02

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) is an essential indicator for creating a healthy school environment and preventing environment-related diseases among elementary school children. Preliminary

observations at SDIT Masyarul Huda revealed that students' implementation of CHLB indicators was not yet optimal, particularly regarding proper handwashing with soap, personal hygiene practices, and awareness of the importance of maintaining healthy behaviors within the school environment. These findings served as the basis for implementing an interactive educational program aimed at improving students' knowledge of CHLB indicators. This community service program aimed to improve elementary school students' knowledge of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) indicators in the school setting through an interactive educational approach. The program involved 87 students and employed a one-group pretest–posttest design. Students' knowledge was assessed using a pretest–posttest questionnaire administered before and after the intervention. The educational activities consisted of interactive lectures, group discussions, and handwashing demonstrations. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results demonstrated that the proportion of students with good knowledge increased from 33.33% during the pretest to 73.56% during the posttest.

Sugiarti — 2026-08-30

This community service program aimed to improve the scientific writing skills of students at Muhammadiyah X Junior High School in Malang City, particularly their ability to develop the background, methods, data, findings, and conclusions of a scientific paper. The program employed a one-group pretest-posttest design by integrating Wallas’s four stages of creativity preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification with the principles of project-based learning (PjBL). The program was conducted over three sessions and involved 22 ninth-grade students working in 11 groups. Students’ scientific writing skills were assessed using a rubric covering five components: background, methods, data, findings, and conclusions. The data were analyzed using a paired-sample t-test. The results demonstrated an improvement in students’ scientific writing performance, with the mean score increasing from 10.364 at pretest to 11.455 at posttest. The paired-sample t-test indicated a statistically significant difference between the scores before and after the program (t = -4.353, df= 10, p < 0.001), with a Cohen’s d of -1.312.
