Empowering Young High School Students Through The Preservation Of Traditional Health Therapy Tools As Local Wisdom Heritage
Preserving local wisdom in the field of health, particularly traditional health therapy tools, has become a challenge in the era of modernisation due to the declining interest of the younger generation in learning about and applying them. This community service activity aims to empower senior high school students through education, practical training, and participatory empowerment so that they are able to understand, use, and preserve traditional health therapy tools as cultural heritage. The methods used include needs identification, educational socialisation, guided practical training, empowerment of students as agents of preservation, and periodic monitoring and evaluation. The results of the community service show an increase in students' knowledge, attitudes, and skills in using traditional therapy tools, as well as an increase in their enthusiasm to play an active role in preserving local wisdom. This activity also fostered students' awareness of cultural and health values based on local wisdom, while shaping the character of the younger generation to care about culture and community welfare. Thus, empowering students through community service can be an effective strategy for maintaining the sustainability of traditional health therapy tools and strengthening the nation's cultural identity.
Socialization and Wellness Tourism Training to Encourage Self-sufficient Educational Tourism in the Sumber Manis Nature Tourism, Banyuwangi
This paper discusses the socialization and training of wellness tourism for the Gombengsari Tourism Awareness Group. The Gombengsari Tourism Awareness Group has management and marketing problems in managing tourism. This is due to a lack of knowledge in mapping and managing tourism concepts. Therefore, socialization and training were carried out to improve the management and marketing of tourist destinations. The socialization and training include the application of wellness tourism spot technology, mentoring, evaluation, and program sustainability. The results of the socialization and training show that mapping has been carried out on wellness tourism spots and flying fox spots. Tourism destination marketing is carried out once every two weeks in managing financial management and partner businesses. Website-based promotion and inter-regional tourism destination marketing training are also conducted. Website-based tourism destination promotion has increased tourist visitors by ±50-75% in one month.
Competence Improvement Training for Physical Education Teacher at Darussalam Pasuruan Islamic Boarding School
Physical Education, Sports, and Health plays a crucial role in supporting physical development, character building, and a healthy lifestyle. However, Islamic boarding school-based educational institutions still face challenges related to limited teaching competencies among physical education teachers, particularly those without formal physical education backgrounds. This condition impacts the quality of learning, resulting in unstructured and monotonous teaching that hinders the achievement of learning objectives. This community service program aims to improve the pedagogical and professional competencies of physical education teachers in Islamic boarding schools through module-based training and mentoring. The program was implemented through needs analysis, module development, workshops, teaching practice assistance, and evaluation. Participants included four physical education teachers and fifteen community service teachers from Islamic boarding school backgrounds. Results showed that the module-based training improved teachers' understanding of basic Physical Education, Sports, and Health concepts, as well as lesson planning skills and structured teaching practices. Participants responded positively, with a 100% satisfaction rate, and considered the module a practical teaching guide. These findings confirm that module-based training is effective and essential for improving the competency of physical education teachers in Islamic boarding schools.
Socialization of Basic Artistic Gymnastics Movements for Elementary School Teachers
Physical education in elementary schools plays a strategic role in developing children’s fundamental movement skills, physical fitness, and character formation. However, the implementation of artistic gymnastics learning at the elementary level remains limited due to teachers’ lack of specific technical training, inadequate facilities, and the absence of structured instructional modules. This community service program aimed to enhance teachers’ competencies and improve students’ basic artistic gymnastics skills through a systematic and participatory approach. The program was conducted over one month and involved 15 physical education teachers and 120 students from five elementary schools. The activities included program socialization, a one-week intensive technical training for teachers using a learning-by-doing approach, and a three-week implementation phase for students. Evaluation was carried out through pre-test and post-test assessments of teachers’ knowledge and students’ gymnastics skills. The results showed a 27.2% increase in teachers’ knowledge scores and a 32.16% improvement in students’ basic gymnastics skills. These findings are consistent with experiential learning theory and previous studies indicating that practical-based teacher training significantly enhances pedagogical competence and positively impacts student learning outcomes. The program demonstrates that strengthening teacher capacity, applying progressive teaching methods, and ensuring safe learning environments are key factors in improving the quality of artistic gymnastics instruction in elementary schools.
Positive Reinforcement Assistance on the Effectiveness of Volleyball Forearm Passing Learning
In addition to improving motivation and self-confidence, the positive reinforcement–based mentoring activities also brought significant changes to the learning dynamics in the field. Students who were previously passive and hesitant began to show greater confidence when attempting the forearm passing technique. Each form of praise and feedback provided encouraged students to repeat the movement with increased assurance. This was evident from the growing number of students who voluntarily stepped forward to practice the technique in front of the group. Positive changes were also observed in the quality of interaction between students and lecturers. The reinforcement approach created a more dialogic and supportive learning atmosphere. Students felt appreciated, making them more receptive to corrections and more responsive in improving their technical errors. The training environment became more conducive and collaborative, as students supported one another whenever progress was demonstrated by their peers. Furthermore, observational results indicated a significant improvement in the students’ forearm passing accuracy, particularly in body positioning, arm swing, and movement coordination. This improvement was not only seen in students who initially displayed adequate skills but also in those who previously faced limitations. This demonstrates that the implementation of reinforcement has an equal and inclusive effect on all participants. Students also expressed that this approach made them feel more comfortable and motivated throughout the learning process. They perceived positive reinforcement as providing psychological safety, as mistakes were not regarded as failures but as essential elements of the learning process. This condition fostered a more humanistic learning climate and encouraged students to continually engage in self-improvement. Thus, the outcomes of this community service program not only enhanced students’ technical skills but also developed a more positive, supportive, and sustainable learning culture. This mentoring model has the potential to be applied to other volleyball techniques as well as to other sports-related courses that require a motivational approach
Strengthening Active Physical Education Learning Through a PJOK Trofeo Program: a Service-Learning Approach with Pre-Service Teachers at SD Citra Bakti
This community service program aimed to enhance active learning and sportsmanship in elementary physical education through the implementation of a structured PJOK Trofeo model supported by pre-service teachers (PLP students). Conducted at SD Citra Bakti, the program adopted a service-learning framework integrating collaborative mentoring among lecturers, pre-service teachers, and school teachers. The intervention was implemented in four stages: needs assessment, collaborative design, structured Trofeo-based activities, and reflective evaluation. Data were collected using observation sheets assessing student participation and sportsmanship indicators, complemented by reflective reports from pre-service teachers. The results demonstrated a significant increase in active participation (from 62% to 85%) and improvements in sportsmanship indicators, including fair play and teamwork. Furthermore, pre-service teachers showed enhanced pedagogical competence in classroom management and active learning facilitation. The novelty of this program lies in reconstructing a competitive format into a pedagogical device that integrates cooperative learning principles and service learning within a community-based partnership. This model provides a replicable framework for character-oriented and experiential physical education practices.
