ya, Central Kalimantan, also prepares its students to participate in this prestigious event. To this end, the school formed an English Debate Club (EDC). However, the enthusiasm of EDC members in practising tends to be inconsistent, which impacts the effectiveness of their preparation. In response to this problem, a team of lecturer and students from the English Education Study Program, Palangka Raya University, implemented a coaching program to increase the enthusiasm, confidence, and debating skills of EDC members. The coaching activities were conducted in four sessions, covering motion analysis training, case studies, and debate practice, with guidance from an outstanding student representing the university in the National University Debating Championship (NUDC) at the national level. Qualitative questionnaire results indicated increased enthusiasm and self-confidence among EDC members during training sessions and improved understanding of debate strategies. This initiative demonstrates that coaching based on the direct experience of a high-achieving debater can serve as an effective strategy for developing debate clubs in secondary schools.

Abstract:Optimizing the library space at OPPM Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor aims to improve the book layout, classification system, and space design initiatives to increase the efficiency of borrowing books for students. The problems…
oblems faced include sloppy book layout, an ineffective classification system, and a lack of design initiative from library administrators. The implementation method uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, which involves several stages of socializing the layout design to administrators, implementing a new classification system, writing books according to classification, and creating Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for daily, weekly and monthly activities. Familiarization provides an understanding of ergonomic design principles, while a new classification system and book fireplace make it easier to find and return books. Creating SOPs ensures consistent and efficient implementation. The results of this method show significant improvements in library management and user experience, with students finding it easier to access and borrow books and library administrators carrying out their duties in a more structured manner.

community's welfare. The practice of fishing with bombs not only damages marine habitats, including coral reefs, but also threatens the sustainability of fish resources in the future. If allowed to continue, this can harm marine ecosystems and jeopardize the sustainability of the local economy. To address this problem, training and implementing coral reef conservation using the Coral Adoption method is crucial. This initiative, which involves the Simeulue Regency government, Simeulue Police, and TNI, focuses on the community, especially fishermen. The Coral Adoption method is a marine environmental rehabilitation technique that aims to conserve marine biota, accelerate coral reef growth, and restore threatened ecosystems. The training provides participants with knowledge about the negative impacts of fish bombing and the importance of marine environmental rehabilitation. It also empowers them to stop such destructive practices. Furthermore, participants recognize the long-term impacts of fish bombing on their socio-economic aspects, which ultimately increases their commitment to preserving the marine environment for a better future.

Abstrak: Sebagian besar penduduk Simeulue bergantung pada hasil laut untuk mata pencaharian mereka. Namun, penggunaan bom dalam penangkapan ikan telah menimbulkan ancaman serius terhadap kelestarian sumber daya ikan yang menjadi aset penting bagi kesejahteraan masyarakat. Praktik penangkapan ikan dengan bom tidak hanya merusak habitat laut, termasuk terumbu karang, tetapi juga mengancam keberlanjutan sumber daya ikan di masa depan. Jika dibiarkan berlanjut, hal ini dapat berdampak buruk pada ekosistem laut dan mengancam keberlanjutan ekonomi lokal. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, pelatihan dan penerapan konservasi terumbu karang dengan metode Rock Pile menjadi sangat penting. Pelatihan ini, yang melibatkan pihak pemerintah Kabupaten Simeulue, Polres Simeulue, dan TNI, difokuskan pada masyarakat, terutama nelayan. Rock Pile adalah teknik rehabilitasi lingkungan laut yang bertujuan untuk melestarikan biota laut, mempercepat pertumbuhan terumbu karang, dan memulihkan ekosistem yang terancam.

tial for processed shrimp paste. The challenges faced include: 1) the drying method for shrimp paste is conducted by sun-drying, which means that during the rainy season, the drying process for shrimp paste takes a long time and hampers the production process; and 2) sales of processed shrimp paste products are currently limited to the local community. To address these issues related to the extended drying process and to expand marketing efforts, this PkM initiative developed a shrimp paste drying tool tailored to the needs of the PKK KB Khinasih women. Additionally, outreach activities were conducted to educate them about design and packaging strategies that could be beneficial for hosting product exhibitions. The dryer has been handed over to the PKK women for suitability testing with regard to its function, quality, and capacity. KB Khinasih has also adopted label and sticker designs for packaging processed rebon shrimp paste products.

le to develop interaction patterns for various parties involved in learning. State Defense Education taught by teachers in class is one of the means in fostering students' awareness in understanding Bela Negara. Awareness of Bela Negara that cannot grow and develop by itself in every citizen, so planned efforts are needed in instilling the values of State Defense in citizens. Based on the results of observations carried out in kindergartens in Pakal District, Surabaya City shows that the learning process carried out by teachers still lacks learning processes related to Bela Negara, so that students lack insight into Bela Negara. In carrying out the learning process related to national defense, it can be through educational game tools (APE) which are specifically created and designed creatively to students using the superhero puppet character Panca Satria. This activity is expected to produce teachers who are able to create and apply educational game tools (APE) in introducing the spirit of Bela Negara in the classroom.

Permasalah utama produk pertanian adalah fluktuasi harga yang disebabkan oleh dinamika situasi produksi dan permintaan serta sistem rantai nilai produk dari produsen ke konsumen. Lemahnya akses pasar pertanian berdampak pada ketidakpastian harga di tingkat petani. Kegiatan ini bertujuan membangun kapasitas Gapoktan dalam inisiasi pasar alternatif melalui Sub Terminal Agribisnis (STA). Penyuluhan dan bimbingan teknis digunakan untuk metode pelaksanaan kegiatan pendampingan. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan bahwa STA memiliki peran penting dalam mengatasi kelemahan pasar produk pertanian. STA memperkuat Gapoktan dalam menghadapi keterbatasan akses pasar. Keberhasilan pendirian STA di sentra produksi tergantung pada kemampuan manajerial pengurus STA. Pengurus STA harus bekerja keras mendorong sinergi antara pelaku produksi dan jejaring pasar. Setelah mengikuti penyuluhan, anggota Gapoktan bertambah pengetahuannya tentang syarat-syarat pendirian STA dan pengelolaan STA. Bantuan teknis disampaikan secara terpisah. Gapoktan Sumber Katon memprakarsai STA swakelola yang berfokus pada hubungan produksi hortikultura dengan pasar. Gapoktan Srikandi mendirikan STA swakelola yang fokus pada produksi beras. Kegiatan pembinaan perintisan STA pada Gapoktan di Kab. Pringsewu menghasilkan kelembagaan STA swadaya di daerah sentra produksi sayur mayur. Tumbuh kembang STA swadaya di daerah sentra produksi akan tergantung kepada kesungguhan dan kerja keras unsur pengurus dalam memperjuangkan akses pasar bagi hasil produksi pertanian anggotanya.
