Daya Saing UMKM Melalui Desain Kemasan Produk Madu Lokal Berbasis Estetika Modern
Full text linkPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan daya saing produk madu lokal melalui penerapan desain kemasan berbasis estetika modern. UMKM madu di Indonesia umumnya menghadapi tantangan pada aspek visual dan kemasan yang belum mampu merepresentasikan kualitas produk, sehingga berdampak pada rendahnya daya tarik konsumen. Melalui pendekatan perancangan berbasis desain (design-based research), penelitian ini mengembangkan model kemasan madu yang menonjolkan kesederhanaan bentuk, keseimbangan komposisi, serta tipografi modern yang merefleksikan keaslian dan profesionalitas produk. Tahapan penelitian meliputi observasi visual terhadap kemasan madu lokal yang beredar di pasaran, perancangan konsep estetika modern, pembuatan prototipe digital, serta evaluasi visual berdasarkan persepsi kejelasan, estetika, dan nilai jual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan elemen visual yang terstruktur dan minimalis mampu meningkatkan persepsi konsumen terhadap mutu produk, serta memberikan citra yang lebih kompetitif bagi UMKM. Desain kemasan yang dihasilkan bersifat adaptif dan dapat diterapkan oleh pelaku UMKM dengan biaya produksi yang terjangkau. Implikasi keberlanjutan dari kegiatan ini dalam konteks pengabdian kepada masyarakat terletak pada potensi replikasi desain kemasan sebagai model edukatif dan pendampingan berkelanjutan bagi UMKM di sektor pangan lokal. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa desain kemasan berbasis estetika modern dapat berfungsi tidak hanya sebagai media komunikasi visual, tetapi juga sebagai strategi pemberdayaan ekonomi kreatif untuk meningkatkan daya saing UMKM di pasar lokal maupun digital
Optimalisasi E-Learning dalam Pembelajaran Kewarganegaraan Di Era Digital
Full text linkPenelitian ini mengkaji penerapan E-learning dalam mata kuliah Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan (PPKn) di Universitas Muhammadiyah Riau dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa E-learning memberikan kemudahan akses dan fleksibilitas, namun masih dihadapkan pada tantangan seperti terbatasnya interaksi, rendahnya motivasi belajar, dan kendala teknis. Efektivitas pembelajaran daring ditentukan oleh interaksi yang berkualitas, desain materi yang kontekstual, serta keterlibatan aktif dosen dan mahasiswa. Berdasarkan teori Difusi Inovasi, Komunikasi Instruksional, dan Uses and Gratification, E-learning berpotensi mendukung pembentukan karakter kewarganegaraan digital yang kritis dan bertanggung jawab jika diterapkan secara adaptif dan partisipatif. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pengembangan strategi E-learning yang lebih relevan dan interaktif dalam pengajaran PPKn. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa optimalisasi E-learning dalam pembelajaran PPKn tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai sarana penyampaian materi, tetapi juga sebagai media strategis dalam membangun kualitas interaksi pembelajaran dan internalisasi nilai-nilai kewarganegaraan. Oleh karena itu, penerapan E-learning perlu dirancang secara sistematis, komunikatif, dan berorientasi pada kebutuhan mahasiswa agar mampu meningkatkan efektivitas pembelajaran serta mendukung pembentukan karakter kewarganegaraan digital yang kritis, etis, dan bertanggung jawab di era digital

Implementasi Teknologi Virtual Reality Sebagai Media Edukasi Mitigasi Bencana Pesisir di Sekolah Dasar Muhammadiyah 9 Kenjeran
Full text linkKnowledge and preparedness in facing natural disasters is very important, especially for students who are in disaster-prone areas such as the coastal area of Kenjeran, Surabaya. Based on interviews with the principal and teachers at SD Muhammadiyah 9 Surabaya, it is known that the low understanding of students and teachers about disaster mitigation triggers feelings of anxiety and fear about potential disasters that could occur at any time. To overcome this problem, this research implemented Virtual Reality (VR) technology as a medium for disaster mitigation education at SD Muhammadiyah 9 Kenjeran. VR technology was chosen because of its ability to provide a simulation experience that is close to real situations, so it is hoped that it can increase students' and teachers' understanding and resilience in facing crises. This service aims to provide counseling and outreach to teachers and students with VR learning media at SD Muhammadiyah 9 Kenjeran Surabaya. The approach to solving partner problems is to focus on students' understanding of disaster mitigation with VR-based education and the impact of post-disaster psychological problems. The research results show an increase in students' understanding of disaster mitigation measures, as well as an increase in self-confidence in facing disaster threats after implementing VR. Another positive impact is a reduction in students' anxiety and fear levels, which shows that VR-based simulations are effective in preparing students to face emergency situations. The conclusion is that the use of VR technology as a medium for disaster mitigation education can be an effective alternative for increasing students' readiness in facing disasters in coastal areas
