Meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat dalam pengelolaan sampah rumah tangga untuk ibu-ibu PKK di Desa Sidorejo, Sayung
Keberadaan limbah rumah tangga yang dihasilkan dari berbagai aktivitas manusia memberikan dampak yang cukup besar terhadap Kesehatan Masyarakat maupun kualitas lingkungan. Di Desa Sidorejo, masih ditemukan banyak sampah organik dan anorganik yang bersumber dari kegiatan sehari-hari warga, khususnya dari rumah tangga. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, salah satu langkah yang efektif adalah dengan melaksanakan penyuluhan serta pelatihan mengenai pengelolaan sampah berbasis konsep 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Konsep ini menekankan pada upaya mengurangi, menggunakan kembali, dan mendaur ulang sampah, sehingga diharapkan mampu menciptakan lingkungan yang bersih, nyaman, dan sehat serta mendukung terwujudnya kawasan dengan system pengelolaan sampah mandiri. Tujuan utama dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk: (1) memberikan edukasi kepada masyarakat tentang pentingnya memilah sampah organic dan anorganik sebagai langkah awal penerapan 3R dan (2) memberikan pengetahuan praktis mengenai pemanfaatan sampah organik menjadi pupuk kompos serta mengolah sampah anorganik menjadi produk kerajinan yang bernilai guna. Kegiatan penyuluhan dilaksanakan di aula Balai Desa Sidorejo pada hari Sabtu, 9 Agustus 2025 pukul 09.00 WIB dengan metode pemberian materi, demonstrasi, serta diskusi yang interaktif. Pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan melalui tiga tahap, yaitu tahap persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Hasil yang dicapai menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kesadaran masyarakat mengenai pentingnya pengelolaan sampah. Warga mulai terbiasa memilah sampah organik dan anorganik, serta terinspirasi untuk menerapkan konsep 3R dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Pengetahuan masyarakat mengenai pemanfaatan sampah juga meningkat, sehingga mendukung terciptanya lingkungan yang bersih, sehat, dan lestari. The presence of household waste generated from various human activities has a considerable impact on public health and environmental quality. In Sidorejo Village, there are still many organic and inorganic waste sources from residents' daily activities, especially from households. To overcome this, one effective step is to provide counseling and training on the 3R concept of waste management (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). This concept emphasizes efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle waste, with the aim of creating a clean, comfortable, and healthy environment and supporting the development of areas with independent waste management systems. The main purpose of this activity is to: (1) provide education to the public about the importance of sorting organic and inorganic waste as a first step in implementing 3R, and (2) provide practical knowledge about the use of organic waste in compost fertilizers and processing inorganic waste into useful craft products. The counseling activity was held at the Sidorejo Village Hall on Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 09.00 WIB, using methods including the provision of materials, demonstrations, and interactive discussions. The activity is implemented in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The results showed an increase in public awareness of the importance of waste management. Residents began to get used to sorting out organic and inorganic waste, and were inspired to implement the 3R concept in everyday life. Public awareness of the use of garbage also increases, thereby supporting the creation of a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.

Dari Edukasi ke Aksi: Eco Bhinneka sebagai model pengabdian masyarakat berbasis kolaborasi lintas iman untuk keberlanjutan lingkungan
Krisis ekologis global dan meningkatnya polarisasi sosial menuntut pendekatan pengabdian masyarakat yang tidak hanya berorientasi pada solusi teknis, tetapi juga memperkuat kohesi sosial dan nilai keberlanjutan. Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis dampak Program Eco Bhinneka sebagai model pengabdian masyarakat berbasis kolaborasi lintas iman dan lingkungan di lima wilayah dampingan: Banjarmasin, Bandung, Jakarta Timur, Jambi, dan Banyumas. Program ini menggunakan pendekatan community-based participatory approach yang mengintegrasikan edukasi lingkungan, aksi kolektif, dan penguatan kepemimpinan perempuan muda. Data dikumpulkan melalui analisis situasi awal, pre-test dan post-test, observasi partisipatif, refleksi peserta, serta monitoring dan evaluasi program. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan literasi ekologis peserta, perubahan perilaku pro-lingkungan, serta penguatan kohesi sosial lintas iman melalui aksi bersama seperti bank sampah, penghijauan, eco enzyme, budikdamber, dan kampanye digital. Dari perspektif teoretis, program ini mengintegrasikan environmental peacebuilding, faith-based environmentalism, transformative learning, dan ekofeminisme dalam satu praktik pengabdian yang kontekstual dan transformatif. Eco Bhinneka terbukti efektif dalam menghubungkan keberlanjutan ekologis dengan perdamaian sosial serta pemberdayaan perempuan muda. Model ini berpotensi direplikasi sebagai strategi pengabdian masyarakat yang inklusif dan berkelanjutan dalam konteks multikultural Indonesia. The global ecological crisis and increasing social polarization demand community engagement approaches that move beyond technical solutions and actively strengthen social cohesion and sustainability values. This article analyzes the impact of the Eco Bhinneka Program as a community engagement model based on interfaith collaboration and environmental action across five assisted regions in Indonesia: Banjarmasin, Bandung, East Jakarta, Jambi, and Banyumas. The program adopts a community-based participatory approach that integrates environmental education, collective action, and the empowerment of young women’s leadership. Data were collected through baseline situational analysis, pre- and post-tests, participatory observation, participant reflections, and program monitoring and evaluation. The findings indicate significant improvements in participants’ ecological literacy, pro-environmental behavioral changes, and strengthened interfaith social cohesion through collaborative initiatives such as community waste banks, tree planting, eco-enzyme production, small-scale urban aquaculture (budikdamber), and digital environmental campaigns. Theoretically, the program synthesizes environmental peacebuilding, faith-based environmentalism, transformative learning, and ecofeminism into a contextual and transformative model of community engagement. Eco Bhinneka demonstrates that interfaith environmental collaboration can simultaneously promote ecological sustainability, social peace, and young women’s empowerment. The model holds strong potential for replication as an inclusive and sustainable community engagement strategy in multicultural contexts such as Indonesia.

Penghijauan Desa Pilangsari dengan diversifikasi tanaman buah: Sinergi konservasi alam dan pemberdayaan masyarakat
Rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam menjaga kelestarian lingkungan mengakibatkan berkurangnya ruang hijau akibat alih fungsi lahan dan sedikit peduli terhadap penghijauan. Kondisi tersebut berdampak pada menurunnya kualitas udara, meningkatnya suhu lingkungan, kekeringan, serta berkurangnya potensi ekonomi desa dari sektor pertanian buah-buahan. Melalui program pengabdian masyarakat ini, dosen dan mahasiswa Universitas Islam Sultan Agung berinisiatif melakukan penghijauan di Desa Pilangsari, Kecamatan Sayung, Kabupaten Demak tepatnya di RW. 04 dan RW. 05 dengan diversifikasi tanaman buah sebagai solusi inovatif. Sehingga, program ini menekankan penanaman berbagai varian tanaman buah yang tidak hanya mendukung konservasi alam, tetapi juga berkontribusi pada pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui pemanfaatan hasil panen. Hasil dan pembahasan terhadap pelaksanaan program tersebut dilakukan dengan survei dan sowan RW setempat terkait pelaksanaan program penghijauan; pemilihan bibit tanaman buah yang sesuai dengan kondisi lingkungan; persiapan lahan dan media tanam; pelaksanaan penanaman dan pendistribusian bibit kepada masyarakat di setiap RW agar tercipta keterlibatan aktif warga di Desa Pilangsari. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan meningkatnya partisipasi masyarakat, tumbuhnya kesadaran akan konservasi, serta terbukanya peluang ekonomi jangka panjang melalui hasil panen buah. Dengan pendekatan ini, Desa Pilangsari tidak hanya menjadi lebih hijau dan asri, tetapi juga lebih produktif dan berdaya. Ini menegaskan bahwa diversifikasi tanaman buah adalah strategi nyata yang mampu menghubungkan kepentingan ekologi dan kesejahteraan sosial secara berkelanjutan. Low public awareness of environmental sustainability has resulted in a reduction in green space due to land conversion and little concern for reforestation. This condition has an impact on declining air quality, increasing environmental temperatures, drought, and reducing the village's economic potential from the fruit farming sector. Through this community service program, lecturers and students of Sultan Agung Islamic University took the initiative to reforest Pilangsari Village, Sayung District, Demak Regency, specifically in RW. 04 and RW. 05 with fruit crop diversification as an innovative solution. Thus, this program emphasizes the planting of various fruit crop variants that not only support nature conservation, but also contribute to community empowerment through the utilization of harvested crops. The results and discussions on the implementation of the program were carried out through surveys and visits to local RWs regarding the implementation of the reforestation program; selection of fruit plant seeds that are suitable for environmental conditions; preparation of land and planting media; implementation of planting and distribution of seeds to the community in each RW to create active involvement of residents in Pilangsari Village. The results of the activity show increased community participation, growing awareness of conservation, and the opening of long-term economic opportunities through fruit harvests. With this approach, Pilangsari Village has not only become greener and more beautiful, but also more productive and empowered. This confirms that fruit crop diversification is a real strategy capable of sustainably linking ecological interests and social well-being.

Informal teaching and learning of English in secondary schools: EFL students’ perspectives
As Indonesia becomes increasingly integrated into the global economy, English proficiency is essential for both educational and professional opportunities. However, traditional classroom instruction often prioritizes grammar and writing, resulting in limited development of students' speaking and listening skills. This study investigates students’ perceptions of informal English learning through their participation in the English Club at SMPN 14 Malang. Informal learning environments offer a dynamic setting for practicing English through discussions, storytelling, and interactive activities, thereby fostering both confidence and fluency. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study gathered data from 20 students using open-ended questionnaires to explore their experiences. The findings reveal that students value the club’s relaxed atmosphere, interactive learning methods, and social elements, all of which contribute to increased motivation and language acquisition. Nevertheless, some students report difficulties with public speaking, group dynamics, and the pacing of activities. Recommendations for improvement include incorporating more film-based sessions and maintaining a fun, low-pressure learning environment. This study underscores the role of informal learning in complementing formal instruction and provides insights for educators seeking to design more engaging English language experiences.

Pengaruh game-based learning berbantuan kahoot terhadap higher order thinking skills materi bangun datar kelas III SD
Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya kemampuan Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) siswa sekolah dasar yang disebabkan oleh pembelajaran yang masih berpusat pada guru dan kurangnya pemanfaatan media pembelajaran inovatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh model Game Based Learning (GBL) berbantuan media kuis interaktif berbasis Kahoot terhadap kemampuan HOTS siswa pada materi bangun datar. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain Pre-Experimental Design tipe One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas III SD Negeri Tlogosari Kulon 04 yang berjumlah 28 siswa. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan tes berupa pretest dan posttest berbasis HOTS. Analisis data dilakukan melalui uji normalitas dan uji hipotesis menggunakan Paired Sample T-Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata pretest sebesar 66,7 meningkat menjadi 86,81 pada posttest. Hasil uji hipotesis menunjukkan nilai signifikansi (Sig. 2-tailed) sebesar 0,000 < 0,05, yang berarti terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Dengan demikian, penerapan model GBL berbantuan Kahoot berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap peningkatan kemampuan HOTS siswa. Implikasi penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan model pembelajaran inovatif berbasis permainan dan teknologi digital dapat menjadi alternatif yang efektif dalam meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa serta mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi di sekolah dasar. This study is motivated by the low level of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) among elementary school students, which is caused by teacher-centered learning and the limited use of innovative learning media. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Game Based Learning (GBL) model assisted by Kahoot-based interactive quiz media on students’ HOTS in the topic of plane geometry. The method used is a quantitative approach with a Pre-Experimental Design of the One Group Pretest-Posttest Design type. The research subjects were 28 third-grade students of SD Negeri Tlogosari Kulon 04. Data collection techniques used tests in the form of HOTS-based pretest and posttest. Data analysis was conducted through normality testing and hypothesis testing using the Paired Sample T-Test. The results showed that the average pretest score of 66.7 increased to 86.81 in the posttest. The hypothesis test results indicated a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, which means there is a significant difference before and after the treatment. Thus, the implementation of the GBL model assisted by Kahoot has a significant effect on improving students’ HOTS. The implication of this study indicates that the use of innovative learning models based on games and digital technology can be an effective alternative in increasing student engagement and developing higher-order thinking skills in elementary schools.

Analisis komperhensif penyuluhan non-komersial sebagai sarana diseminasi Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja
Implementasi Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan di tingkat masyarakat, terutama dalam hal pemahaman dan penerimaan terhadap regulasi tersebut, sehingga diperlukan strategi komunikasi yang efektif dan inklusif. Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja bertujuan untuk mempercepat investasi dan penciptaan lapangan kerja, namun penerapannya di tingkat lokal masih menghadapi tantangan, termasuk kurangnya pemahaman masyarakat terhadap isi regulasi tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis strategi, implementasi, dan hambatan dalam penyuluhan non-komersial sebagai sarana diseminasi UU Cipta Kerja guna mendukung pembangunan berkelanjutan di Kelurahan Pedurungan Lor. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara mendalam, observasi partisipatif, serta analisis dokumentasi terkait kegiatan penyuluhan yang telah dilakukan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyuluhan non-komersial yang melibatkan mahasiswa dan masyarakat dapat meningkatkan pemahaman regulasi serta mendorong keterlibatan aktif warga dalam implementasi kebijakan. Strategi berbasis komunitas dengan pendekatan partisipatif terbukti efektif dalam membangun kesadaran dan respons positif masyarakat terhadap UU Cipta Kerja. Namun, penelitian juga menemukan beberapa hambatan utama, seperti resistensi terhadap kebijakan, kurangnya akses terhadap informasi resmi, serta keterbatasan sumber daya dalam penyelenggaraan penyuluhan. Kesimpulannya, penyuluhan non-komersial dapat menjadi instrumen yang efektif dalam mengedukasi masyarakat mengenai kebijakan publik, terutama jika didukung dengan metode komunikasi yang adaptif dan kolaborasi yang lebih erat antara mahasiswa, pemerintah daerah, serta tokoh masyarakat. Implikasinya, perlu adanya peningkatan sinergi antara berbagai pemangku kepentingan serta optimalisasi penggunaan teknologi informasi agar penyebarluasan kebijakan lebih luas dan berkelanjutan. The implementation of the Job Creation Law still faces various challenges at the community level, especially in terms of understanding and acceptance of these regulations, so an effective and inclusive communication strategy is needed. The Job Creation Law aims to accelerate investment and job creation, but its implementation at the local level still faces challenges, including a lack of public understanding of the contents of the regulation. This research aims to analyze the strategy, implementation and obstacles in non-commercial counseling as a means of disseminating the Job Creation Law to support sustainable development in Pedurungan Lor Subdistrict. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach using in-depth interview techniques, participatory observation, and analysis of documentation related to the extension activities that have been carried out. The research results show that non-commercial outreach involving students and the community can increase understanding of regulations and encourage active involvement of citizens in policy implementation. Community-based strategies with a participatory approach have proven effective in building awareness and positive responses from the community towards the Job Creation Law. However, research also found several main obstacles, such as resistance to policies, lack of access to official information, and limited resources in providing extension services. In conclusion, non-commercial outreach can be an effective instrument in educating the public about public policy, especially if supported by adaptive communication methods and closer collaboration between students, local government and community leaders. The implication is that there is a need to increase synergy between various stakeholders and optimize the use of information technology so that policy dissemination is wider and more sustainable.

Penerapan sanitasi air bersih dan pemanfaatan kolam ikan di SDN Siwalan Semarang sebagai upaya pencegahan DBD
Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) merupakan penyakit menular yang masih menjadi permasalahan kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia akibat infeksi virus dengue yang ditularkan oleh nyamuk Aedes aegypti dan Aedes albopictus. Rendahnya kesadaran terhadap kebersihan lingkungan dan sanitasi air menjadi faktor utama tingginya kasus DBD. Program ini bertujuan untuk menerapkan strategi pengendalian DBD berbasis ekosistem dengan mengintegrasikan sanitasi air bersih dan pemanfaatan kolam ikan nila merah (Oreochromis niloticus) sebagai metode alami dalam menghambat pertumbuhan jentik nyamuk. Program dilaksanakan di SDN Siwalan Semarang dengan beberapa tahapan, yaitu sosialisasi sanitasi air bersih, observasi dan pembersihan area yang berpotensi menjadi sarang nyamuk, serta pembuatan dan pemanfaatan kolam ikan nila merah sebagai pengendali biologis jentik nyamuk. Hasil menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kesadaran siswa dan guru dalam menjaga kebersihan lingkungan serta penurunan jumlah jentik nyamuk setelah program diterapkan. Selain itu, kolam ikan juga menjadi sarana edukatif dalam memahami ekosistem perairan. Keberhasilan program ini membuktikan bahwa pendekatan berbasis ekosistem dapat menjadi solusi efektif, berkelanjutan, dan ramah lingkungan dalam pengendalian DBD. Dengan partisipasi aktif warga sekolah, SDN Siwalan dapat menjadi contoh dalam menerapkan strategi pencegahan DBD berbasis lingkungan. Dengue fever is an infectious disease that is still a public health problem in Indonesia due to dengue virus infection transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Low awareness of environmental hygiene and water sanitation is a major factor in the high number of DHF cases. This program aims to implement an ecosystem-based dengue control strategy by integrating clean water sanitation and the use of red tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) ponds as a natural method in inhibiting the growth of mosquito larvae. The program was implemented at SDN Siwalan Semarang with several stages, namely socialization of clean water sanitation, observation and cleaning of areas that have the potential to become mosquito nests, as well as the construction and utilization of red tilapia ponds as biological control of mosquito larvae. The results showed an increase in student and teacher awareness in maintaining environmental cleanliness and a decrease in the number of mosquito larvae after the program was implemented. In addition, the fish pond also became an educational tool in understanding aquatic ecosystems. The success of this program proves that an ecosystem-based approach can be an effective, sustainable and environmentally friendly solution to dengue control. With the active participation of the school community, SDN Siwalan can be an example in implementing an environmentally-based dengue prevention strategy.

Pencegahan stunting sejak dini melalui penyuluhan gizi dengan media leaflet untuk ibu yang memiliki anak stunting di Desa Waru
Stunting merupakan salah satu masalah gizi kronis yang berdampak pada kualitas hidup anak di masa depan. Kondisi ini ditandai dengan keterlambatan pertumbuhan fisik akibat kekurangan gizi, pola asuh yang tidak tepat, serta sanitasi lingkungan yang kurang baik. Dampak stunting tidak hanya memengaruhi tinggi badan, tetapi juga perkembangan otak, daya tahan tubuh, hingga produktivitas saat dewasa. Upaya pencegahan dan penanggulangan stunting perlu dilakukan sejak dini, khususnya pada keluarga yang anaknya telah teridentifikasi mengalami stunting. Sebagai bentuk kontribusi nyata, mahasiswa Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) Kelompok 30 Universitas Islam Sultan Agung Semarang melaksanakan penyuluhan pencegahan stunting di Desa Waru. Sasaran utama kegiatan ini adalah ibu yang memiliki anak stunting. Penyuluhan dilakukan dengan media leaflet edukatif yang berisi informasi singkat mengenai gizi seimbang, ASI eksklusif, pemberian MP-ASI bergizi, serta perilaku hidup bersih. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman ibu terkait pentingnya pemenuhan gizi anak dan pola hidup sehat keluarga. Media leaflet terbukti efektif sebagai sarana edukasi karena mudah dipahami, praktis, dan dapat dijadikan rujukan kembali oleh peserta. Program ini diharapkan menjadi langkah berkelanjutan dalam mendukung upaya penurunan prevalensi stunting di tingkat desa. Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that impacts a child's future quality of life. This condition is characterized by delayed physical growth due to malnutrition, inappropriate parenting, and poor environmental sanitation. The impact of stunting not only affects height but also brain development, endurance, and productivity in adulthood. Efforts to prevent and address stunting need to be implemented early, especially in families whose children have been identified as stunted. As a concrete contribution, Community Service Program (KKN) students from Group 30 of Sultan Agung Islamic University Semarang conducted stunting prevention outreach in Waru Village. The primary target group for this activity was mothers with stunted children. The outreach included educational leaflets containing concise information on balanced nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, providing nutritious complementary foods, and practicing good hygiene. The results of the activity showed an increase in mothers' understanding of the importance of meeting children's nutritional needs and maintaining a healthy family lifestyle. The leaflets proved effective as an educational tool because they were easy to understand, practical, and could be used as a reference by participants. This program is expected to be a sustainable step in supporting efforts to reduce stunting prevalence at the village level.
