Ikhya'ul Farokh — 2026-06-15

This community service program was conducted at SMA Al Karimi Tebuwung as an effort to address students’ low confidence in expressing their opinions orally during English language learning. Although students had previously studied the topic of Expressions of Asking and Giving Opinion, their verbal participation and self-confidence remained relatively low. The program introduced an innovative and simple learning medium called One Paper Plane, One Question, One Brave Opinion, which integrates the principles of the Love-Based Curriculum through equal opportunities to speak, a psychologically safe learning environment, and positive reinforcement for every student’s opinion. The program employed a participatory approach involving the partner teacher in the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants consisted of 30 tenth-grade students (Class X-A). Evaluation was carried out through speaking tests, observations of verbal participation, and self-confidence questionnaires. The results showed an increase in the average speaking score from 65.75 to 81.25, an improvement in verbal participation from 40% to 93%, and a rise in self-confidence scores from 2.7 to 4.2 on a five-point scale. In addition to benefiting students, the program also enhanced teachers’ capacity to implement participatory learning strategies that can be easily adapted to other learning materials. These findings indicate that a simple learning medium based on active participation can effectively foster students’ confidence in expressing their opinions while supporting the sustainability of instructional innovation in partner schools.

Strengthening local wisdom through primary education is a strategic effort to foster students’ character while preserving regional culture. However, art learning activities in schools are still largely limited to simple practices and have not provided sufficient opportunities for students to engage in hands-on experiences that integrate creativity, practical skills, and an understanding of local culture. One of the challenges faced by MIN 3 Banyuwangi is the lack of project-based activities that can simultaneously enhance students’ creativity and introduce Banyuwangi’s local wisdom in a practical and meaningful way. This community service program aimed to improve students’ creativity, collaborative skills, and understanding of local culture through flat printmaking training based on Banyuwangi local wisdom. The program was conducted in February 2026 and involved 87 fifth-grade students of MIN 3 Banyuwangi. The implementation stages included needs assessment, socialization, group formation, practical printmaking activities using wooden cutting boards as the printing medium, an art exhibition, and program evaluation through participatory observation. The results showed that all student groups successfully produced printmaking artworks inspired by Banyuwangi cultural themes, including Gajah Oling batik motifs, Gandrung and Seblang traditional performances, and other local cultural icons. In addition to enhancing students’ creativity and fine motor skills, the program also strengthened their collaboration, self confidence, and appreciation of local culture. The exhibition held at the end of the program provided students with basic entrepreneurial experience and fostered the values embodied in the Pancasila Student Profile. Therefore, local wisdom-based flat printmaking training can serve as an alternative program for character development and the preservation of local culture within the madrasah environment.

Bullying in elementary school environments remains a significant issue that can hinder students’ character development, mental health, and social interactions. Initial observations and interviews with school representatives revealed that many students at SDN 01 Kemiri and SDN 02 Kemiri had not yet fully understood the various forms of bullying and their impacts on victims and the school environment.

The program was implemented at SDN 01 Kemiri and SDN 02 Kemiri through several stages, including problem identification, coordination with school authorities, preparation of educational materials, interactive socialization sessions, group discussions, question-and-answer activities, and program evaluation. The materials covered the definition of bullying, its various forms, the consequences of bullying, and strategies for prevention and reporting bullying incidents. The results indicated that students developed a better understanding of bullying behavior, were able to identify common forms of bullying occurring in the school environment, and demonstrated increased awareness of the importance of mutual respect in creating a safe learning atmosphere. Furthermore, the program fostered a shared commitment among students and school stakeholders to support the development of a child-friendly and bullying-free school culture. This empathy-based anti-bullying socialization program can serve as an effective preventive strategy for strengthening character education in elementary schools.

Bullying remains a prevalent issue in elementary school environments and has negative impacts on students’ social-emotional development, academic achievement, and psychological well-being.
