One form of assessment in this curriculum is the Computer-Based National Assessment (ANBK), which includes various types of assessments, including the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM), learning environment surveys, and character surveys. In AKM, students are expected to master literacy and numeracy skills through questions with relatively long texts, which often make it difficult for many students to understand and solve the questions satisfactorily. As a solution, it is important for schools to intensively introduce the types of AKM questions to students and get them used to, both independently and in groups, solving numeracy literacy-based questions using interactive e-books. This community service program was carried out for one day at SDN Paninggaran Darma, Kuningan Regency, and focused on introducing AKM questions based on numeracy literacy. During the activity, grade 5 students showed that they were not familiar with the questions, so they still faced difficulties in solving the problems. The evaluation was conducted by asking students to complete 5 AKM questions based on numeracy literacy directly in class. The conclusion is that students already have an understanding of various types of Minimum Competency Assessment questions based on numeracy literacy and show an increase in their ability to solve questions in the moderate category. To improve students' numeracy literacy skills, routine efforts need to be made to introduce these questions during the daily learning process, so that they can better apply these skills in their daily lives. Suggestion: Students already understand various types of Minimum Competency Assessment questions that focus on numeracy literacy and show an increase in their ability to solve questions with a moderate level of difficulty. In order for students' numeracy literacy skills to continue to develop and be applied in their daily lives, it is important to continue</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 2025-05-08T15:34:44+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Azin Taufik https://journal.uniku.ac.id/index.php/empowerment/article/view/10388 Peningkatan Kepuasan Layanan Prima pada Kantor Imigrasi Kelas I TPI Denpasar, Bali 2025-05-10T10:59:43+07:00 Ni Kadek Prima Krisnayuni [email protected] Dewa Ayu Putu Adhiya Garini Putri [email protected] <p><em>Class I TPI Denpasar Immigration Office is a public service place, where in that environment it is customary to serve many people who come to take care of passports and visas.

This community service activity takes place by becoming a visitor service ambassador which aims to improve services to visitors who come to the Immigration Office. With the results of the discussion that excellent service is the key to the quality of service provided, seen from positive Google reviews, it shows that the Immigration Office has implemented excellent service.</em></p> 2025-04-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Ni Kadek Prima Krisnayuni, Dewa Ayu Putu Adhiya Garini Putri https://journal.uniku.ac.id/index.php/empowerment/article/view/10956 Sosialisasi Healing Touch sebagai Terapi Non-Farmakologis untuk Nyeri Pasca Imunisasi pada Anak 2025-05-10T10:58:47+07:00 Vernando Yanry Lameky [email protected] Isak Roberth Akollo [email protected] Joanna Cristy Patty [email protected] Bredlcy Fransiscus Tuhuleruw [email protected] Boy Tomasila [email protected] <p><em>Immunization is crucial for protecting individuals from vaccine-preventable diseases, but pain during and after vaccination can lead to fear and anxiety in children, causing them to refuse subsequent vaccinations. This study aimed to address the lack of knowledge among parents regarding non-pharmacological pain management techniques, specifically healing touch (HT), through a community empowerment partnership (PKM) program. The PKM was conducted as a socialization event for posyandu cadres at the Waihoka Community Health Center on October 30, 2024. Participants completed a pre-test questionnaire, attended a presentation on HT for post-immunization pain management, engaged in a question-and-answer session, and completed a post-test questionnaire. The results showed that before the socialization, most cadres had poor knowledge of non-pharmacological therapies and HT. However, after the event, their knowledge significantly improved, with the majority demonstrating very good understanding. The study concludes that the socialization effectively enhanced the posyandu cadres' knowledge of HT as a non-pharmacological therapy for post-immunization pain management. The authors recommend that the Ambon City Health Office, through the Community Health Center, conduct similar socialization events for parents through posyandu cadres to promote the use of HT in reducing post-immunization pain and anxiety in children.</em></p> 2025-04-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Vernando Yanry Lameky, Isak Roberth Akollo, Joanna Cristy Patty, Bredlcy Fransiscus Tuhuleruw, Boy Tomasila https://journal.uniku.ac.id/index.php/empowerment/article/view/10887 Pelatihan Pembuatan Bibit Stek Batang Kiara Karasak (Ficus Kurzii King) untuk Rehabilitasi di Desa Cimara Kecamatan Cibeureum, Kuningan 2025-05-10T10:59:06+07:00 Yayan Hendrayana [email protected] Ilham Adhya [email protected] Toto Supartono [email protected] Nina Herlina [email protected] Siti Tamala [email protected] Unan Nur Abain [email protected] Alwi Zulva Maulida [email protected] Danda Priyana [email protected] <p><em>Cimara Village, Cibeureum District, Kuningan Regency, faces the problem of critical land which is at risk of environmental degradation due to erosion and reduced natural vegetation. This condition threatens soil fertility and reduces ecosystem function in maintaining environmental balance. One step that can be taken to restore this condition is land rehabilitation using local plants such as kiara karasak (Ficus kurzii King), which has high adaptability to the local environment and plays an important role in preventing soil erosion. The aim of this service is to provide training to the community regarding techniques for making Kiara Karasak stem cuttings, which is expected to support sustainable land rehabilitation programs. Methods for carrying out activities include introducing kiara karasak plants, training in selecting healthy stems suitable for cuttings, correct cutting techniques, use of root-stimulating hormones, as well as sowing and caring for seedlings so that they grow optimally. The approach used is participatory with direct practice in the field, so that participants can apply each stage independently. In this training, participants are also trained in caring for seedlings until they are ready to be moved to rehabilitation land. The results of the service showed that participants experienced a significant increase in their understanding and technical skills in making cuttings. They feel better prepared to produce Kiara Karasak seeds independently and contribute to land rehabilitation in Cimara Village.

The limited understanding of the participants about digital marketing hinders them from increasing their market share and competitiveness in a wider environment. The approach employed was in the form of hands-on mentorship, gifting participants the knowledge and acumen to wield digital tools like social media, online marketplaces, and content creation techniques. The study shows that respondents’ ability to digitally market their products has increased because of the support provided, where more visibility attracts customers and can lead to sales. Some other outcomes or results of the program were collaboration among the MSME sector and the adoption of sustainability in marketing practice. The recommendations go to the sustainability of the program through: establishing a digital community of MSMEs, continuous training, and solidifying ties with government and private stakeholders. This initiative thus illustrates the potential impact of digital marketing for empowering rural MSMEs in support of economic development at the local level.</em></p> 2025-04-30T00:00:00+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Arief Surya Lesmana https://journal.uniku.ac.id/index.php/empowerment/article/view/10406 Pelatihan Pembuatan Pesawat OHLG untuk Pengembangan Spot Dirgantara di Destinasi Wisata Stone Park 2025-05-14T11:01:45+07:00 Riani Nurdin [email protected] Uyuunul Mauidzoh [email protected] Elisabeth Anna Prattiwi [email protected] Nurfi Ahmadi [email protected] Gunawan Gunawan [email protected] Marni Astuti [email protected] Yasrin Zabidi [email protected] <p><em>Stone Park is one of the tourist destinations located in Turunan, Girisuko, Panggang, Gunungkidul. The Stone Park tourist destination is currently not widely visited by tourists because it only offers sunrise spot facilities, photo spots, gazebos, and camping areas that have been widely offered by other tourist destinations. To support Sustainable Tourism which can have a long-term impact on the environment, social, culture, and economy, it is necessary to develop attraction spots. The aerosport attraction spot is one of the attraction spots that is quite popular with the public. To provide understanding and skills, training has been held on making and flying the Out Hand Launch Glider (OHLG) Aircraft which was attended by 21 participants consisting of Stone Park tourist destination managers and the surrounding community.

Globally, 1 in 7 adolescents experiences emotional mental health problems, mainly anxiety and depression. The Indonesia National Adolescence Mental Health Survey (I-NAHMS) reports that one in three Indonesian adolescents faces mental health issues, and one in twenty suffers from mental disorders. Early screening and intervention are crucial due to the high risk and significant impact of these problems. Raising awareness among the community, especially within schools, about adolescent emotional mental health is essential. This activity uses the Health Promotion Model, targeting three guidance counseling teachers and 61 peer counselors from grades X and XI at a public high school in South Jakarta. Training showed improvements in understanding and knowledge of guidance-counceling’ teachers and peer counselors (p=0.00), and in conducting assessments using the e-SDQ instrument for screening and psychological first aid.

Awareness in waste management, especially household waste, still needs to be increased. Lopang urban village, especially Taman Lopang Indah neighbourhood 11, is an area that faces problems in managing household waste. The lack of concern among residents in managing waste and the absence of final disposal sites have resulted in waste not being properly organized and often scattered around. This outreach activity aims to increase public awareness in neighbourhood 11 Lopang urban village regarding the importance of managing household waste by applying the 3R principle (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). The lack of public understanding of the 3R concept is caused by a lack of support and involvement from both the community and government in facilitating waste management. This problem is the main focus that needs to be resolved through outreach activities aimed at providing an understanding of the 3R concept and its implementation in everyday life. In this way, it is hoped that waste management habits will be formed which can contribute to improving the culture of waste management in the community. This activity was carried out at the Al-Fath Mosque, neighbourhood 11, Lopang urban village. After attending education regarding waste management, the public understands better the importance of waste management and sorting. In fact, the community is starting to plan to establish a waste bank as a concrete step in improving waste management in the area.</em></p> 2025-05-14T08:09:53+07:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Fitri Pertiwi, Herlina Siregar https://journal.uniku.ac.id/index.php/empowerment/article/view/11239 Peningkatan Ketahanan Pangan melalui Pengembangan Sistem Hidroponik Sederhana Mengunakan Sistem Wick di Desa Ciomas, Kuningan Jawa Barat 2025-05-14T10:59:56+07:00 Asep Ginanjar Arip [email protected] Anna Fitri Hindriana [email protected] Zaenal Abidin [email protected] <p>This community service activity aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of the community regarding hydroponics, particularly the wick system, as an efficient and environmentally friendly solution for urban farming.
