PENGEMBANGAN PEMBERDAYAAN MASYARAKAT MELALUI PROGRAM KULIAH KERJA NYATA DI DESA JATISOBO KECAMATAN JATIPURO KABUPATEN KARANGANYAR
Abstract
Community Service Program (KKN) is a manifestation of the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, which aims to apply campus science and technology to address social problems and encourage sustainable development at the village level. Jatisobo Village, which has potential in the agricultural and MSME sectors, but faces challenges in the quality of non-academic human resources, digital literacy, and environmental management, was designated as the KKN location. Therefore, the KKN program focuses on five main pillars that are holistic. This community service aims to improve the quality of basic education through learning assistance and assessment of students' reading/numeracy skills, strengthen the moral foundation and character of children through religious activities, encourage the economic independence of MSMEs through the use of online marketing, transfer agricultural innovations through organic vegetable cultivation training; and build environmental awareness through the habit of disposing of waste properly from an early age. The method used is an Integrated and Participatory Multi-Method, involving hands-on workshops, fun learning, as well as action research and a reward system. The program is implemented in active synergy with village officials, elementary school teachers, and the Karang Taruna group for one month. KKN has successfully provided tangible contributions in five main sectors, namely improving students' basic skills, measured through post-tests on reading and arithmetic; TPA/Mushola has become more active and children are motivated to preach; facilitating village MSMEs in onboarding to e-commerce platforms and social media, opening wider market access; Implementing organic cultivation demonstration plots; and successfully instilling the habit of disposing of waste properly through a reward system in schools and the provision of educational waste sorting facilities. The entire program received a positive response, marking the successful transfer of knowledge and adoption of innovation by the Jatisobo community.
