Pemberdayaan Desa Melalui Pelatihan Edugame Wordwall: Meningkatkan Literasi Digital, Keterampilan Sosial, dan Ekspresi Emosi Anak Usia Dini [Village Empowerment Through Edugame Wordwall Training: Enhancing Digital Literacy, Social Skills, and Emotional Expression in Early Childhood]
Full text linkAbstract. This activity is motivated by the low digital literacy of educators in the village, which has resulted in suboptimal development of social skills and emotional expression in early childhood. The implementation of Wordwall was chosen because it supports creative and enjoyable learning in the digital era. This community service aims to improve the skills of early childhood education (PAUD) teachers in Jabaran Village in utilizing the Wordwall platform as an interactive digital-based learning medium. The method uses a participatory approach with three stages: needs identification through surveys and interviews, conducting theory and practical Wordwall training over three days, and evaluating the impact on teaching practices. The training participants consisted of PAUD teachers in Jabaran Village who actively engaged in all stages. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and interviews, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results showed a significant increase in teachers' understanding and skills in using Wordwall, from 30% previously to 95%. Children showed increased active engagement in class, with participation and positive response indicators rising by more than 40%. Teachers became more innovative and confident in developing game-based learning media. This training proved effective in reducing the digital gap and supporting children's social-emotional development. The activity demonstrated that digital training based on edugames can be an effective strategy for empowering village communities, especially in early childhood education. It is hoped that this program will serve as a model for developing similar training in other villages as an effort to support equitable access to education in the digital era. Abstrak.

Empowering Paud Teachers Through Montage Activities to Enhance Children’s Motor and Language Skills
Full text linkThis community engagement program was designed to enhance the pedagogical skills of early childhood educators by introducing montage-based learning as an innovative method to support children's fine motor and language development. The program was implemented at a rural early childhood education center in Pasuruan, Indonesia, where a significant number of children exhibited limited motor and verbal abilities, and teachers had not previously applied montage as a structured learning and evaluation tool. The program involved a series of activities, including needs assessment, training workshops, guided classroom implementation, and evaluation using a custom-designed assessment rubric. The results showed significant improvements in both teacher competence and student engagement. Teachers demonstrated increased confidence and creativity in planning and conducting montage activities, while children displayed better coordination and expressive language skills during and after the intervention. The developed rubric was found to be effective in capturing children's developmental progress in a structured manner. Overall, the program successfully empowered educators to integrate art-based methods into their teaching strategies, resulting in a more engaging and developmentally supportive learning environment. This approach holds promise for broader application in other early childhood education contexts to address similar pedagogical challenges
Pentingnya Literasi dan Aksi Wakaf untuk Peningkatan Ekonomi Masyarakat Desa Karangrejo Kediri (The Importance of Literacy and Waqf Action for Economic Improvement in the Villages of Karangrejo, Kediri)
Full text linkABSTRAKWakaf adalah menyerahkan harta kepada nadzir dengan tujuan dapat diambil manfaatnya oleh banyak orang. Literasi wakaf di Indonesia tergolong rendah. Masyarakat banyak yang belum memahami wakaf itu sendiri. Beberapa diantaranya hanya mengenal wakaf seperti wakaf untuk madrasah, masjid dan makam, dimana bentuk wakaf tersebut merupakan wakaf benda tidak bergerak. Pemahan yang seperti itu menjadikan mindset bahwa wakaf hanya bisa dilakukan oleh orang kaya saja, padahal harta benda wakaf bermacam-macam dan bisa dilakukan oleh siapapun termasuk non-muslim sekalipun. Metode yang digunakan untuk menambah literasi kepada masyarakat adalah dengan memberikan edukasi, sosialisasi dan pemahaman secara mendalam tentang wakaf saat ini, bahwa wakaf bisa dengan harta bergerak seperti uang atau melalui uang dan menjadi wakaf produktif. Hasil dari wakaf produktif atau wakaf uang lebih efektif dan dapat digunakan untuk peningkatan ekonomi pada UMKM di masyarakat sekitar. Setelah literasi wakaf diberikan diharapkan masyarakat mengetahui manfaatnya dan dapat mengimplementasikan wakaf agar dapat berjalan dengan baik dan bisa menjadi salah satu jalan dalam meningkatkan ekonomi masyarakat desa. Pelaku UMKM Desa Karangrejo Kediri bisa memanfaatkan wakaf ini lebih baik lagi dengan bekerjasama antara tokoh masyarakat atau pimpinan desa dengan lembaga wakaf yang sudah ada, atau pimpinan desa dan tokoh agama membentuk lembaga dan mendaftarkan menjadi nadzir wakaf. Abstract. Waqf involves the dedication of property to a trustee with the aim of benefiting many people. Waqf literacy in Indonesia is relatively low, with many members of the community lacking an understanding of waqf itself. Some only recognize waqf in the context of madrasahs, mosques, and graves, where such forms represent immovable waqf property. This understanding fosters the mindset that waqf can only be performed by wealthy individuals, whereas waqf assets can vary and can be established by anyone, including non-Muslims. The method used to enhance literacy within the community involves providing education, socialization, and in-depth understanding of waqf today, emphasizing that waqf can also involve movable assets such as money, thereby becoming productive waqf. The outcomes of productive waqf or cash waqf are more effective and can be utilized to improve the economy of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the surrounding community. After waqf literacy is provided, it is expected that the community will recognize its benefits and be able to implement waqf effectively, serving as a pathway to enhance the economic conditions of the village community. SMEs in Karangrejo, Kediri can better leverage waqf by collaborating with community leaders or village heads and existing waqf institutions, or by having village leaders and religious figures establish an institution and register as waqf trustees
Navigating Emerging Adulthood: The Role of Religious Coping in Promoting Flourishing Among Indonesian University Students
Full text linkThis study examined the relationship between positive and negative religious coping and flourishing, conceptualized through the PERMA model of subjective well-being, among Indonesian university students in emerging adulthood. Emerging adulthood (ages 18–25) is a developmental stage marked by identity exploration and emotional transitions, making religious coping a potential protective factor for psychological flourishing. A total of 278 participants completed online questionnaires assessing religious coping and well-being. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s rho and partial correlation controlling for age, gender, and education. Results showed a significant positive association between positive religious coping and well-being (ρ = .284, p .001, 95% CI [0.16, 0.39]) and a weak negative association for negative religious coping (ρ = –.101, p = .033, 95% CI [–0.22, 0.02]). Effect sizes were small (R² = .08 and R² = .01), and post-hoc power analysis indicated adequate statistical power (1–β = .99). The strongest link was observed in the meaning dimension, underscoring spirituality’s central role in constructing purpose and acceptance. Although the effects were modest, the findings highlight that positive religious coping contributes to flourishing within Indonesia’s collectivist and religious culture, serving as a psychological resource that supports meaning-making and emotional well-being during the transition to adulthood
Optimism and Hope: The Psychological Foundation for Building Grit in Islamic Boarding School Students
Full text linkThe high dropout rate in Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia poses a significant educational challenge. Many adolescents lose interest in continuing their education at boarding schools, resulting in many of them dropping out. Increased grit is believed to have a significant impact on the academic success of adolescents in these schools. This study examines the influence of optimism and hope on grit in adolescents attending Islamic boarding schools. The study uses a quantitative ex-post facto approach, involving 367 teenagers selected through multistage random sampling. Data were collected using the Short Grit Scale (Grit-S), an optimism scale, and the Dispositional Adult Hope Scale, and analyzed using multiple regression with SPSS Version 27. The results showed that optimism and hope together have a positive and significant effect on grit (p 0.05). Partially, optimism acts as a positive belief in future outcomes that encourages students to view challenges as opportunities, while hope provides clarity of purpose and the ability to devise alternative strategies to overcome obstacles. These findings confirm that the synergy between optimism and hope forms a psychological foundation that strengthens students' resilience amid academic and spiritual demands in the dormitory

Strengthening Family and Community Roles in Elderly Rehabilitation for Osteoarthritis Prevention
Full text linkThe elderly population in Surabaya exceeds 350,000 individuals, presenting major challenges in musculoskeletal health, particularly osteoarthritis, which contributes to pain, functional limitations, and reduced independence. A preliminary community survey in Wonocolo District showed that 35.7% of older adults experienced knee pain, particularly during stair climbing, squatting, and sit-to-stand movements, indicating an urgent need for preventive and functional rehabilitation strategies. Families and community health cadres hold a key role, yet their knowledge and skills in assisting elderly mobility and joint-protection activities remain limited. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen family and cadre capacity in elderly rehabilitation and osteoarthritis prevention through structured education, functional exercise training, and health literacy improvement. The intervention was conducted from February to July 2025 and involved 40 elderly participants and 32 family caregivers and health cadres. Activities included community health education, hands-on functional exercise training, mobility modification for prayer movements, screening for common comorbidities, and pre- and post-test knowledge assessments. Qualitative feedback was obtained to evaluate perceived benefits and readiness for sustainability. Participants demonstrated significant improvement in knowledge, with post-test scores showing more than 85% achieving 8–10 correct answers compared to pre-program scores of 4–6. Elderly participants reported decreased stiffness, increased mobility confidence, and improved ability in daily movements such as sit-to-stand transitions. Families and cadres exhibited enhanced skills in supervising exercises and assisting safe transfers. Screening activities also identified undiagnosed hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperuricemia, which were referred to primary health care services. The program effectively enhanced health literacy, mobility skills, and caregiver involvement in elderly rehabilitation. Strengthened family and cadre participation supports program continuity and sustainable community-based healthy aging initiatives. Future programs should include periodic follow-up training, integration with primary health services, and expansion of digital education resources to reinforce long-term behavior change
