2026-01-24T16:26:22+07:00

This community service program aims to improve the English grammar mastery of Madrasah Diniyah (Madin) students at STIT Al-Urwatul Wutsqo Jombang through mentoring using the EGRA (Exposure, Generalization, Reinforcement, and Application) method. The program was conducted in response to students’ low grammar proficiency resulting from their religious educational backgrounds and limited exposure to formal English learning. The EGRA method was applied as a gradual, participatory, and contextual grammar learning approach to enable students to independently understand and apply grammatical rules. This program involved 26 Madin students and employed a quantitative design using pre-test and post-test instruments. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ grammar achievement after the mentoring program, as shown by an increase in the mean score from 44.81 in the pre-test to 64.04 in the post-test. Statistical analysis also revealed that the calculated t value was higher than the t table value (9.836 > 2.05954) with a significance level below 0.05. These findings confirm that the EGRA method is effective in enhancing grammar mastery, learning motivation, and students’ confidence. This community service activity contributes an adaptive grammar mentoring model for students with non-general educational backgrounds, although it remains limited in terms of participant number and the scope of grammatical materials

Organisational performance is greatly influenced by the capacity of administrators to perform managerial functions effectively, particularly in planning, organising, implementing, and evaluating activities. This community service aims to improve the effectiveness of organisational management through organisational management training for ISMAU Banjarnegara administrators. The data were analysed descriptively and qualitatively to examine changes in the understanding, attitudes, and managerial skills of the administrators. The results of the service showed that the training contributed to an increase in the administrators' ability to formulate the objectives and direction of the organisation's programmes, divide roles and responsibilities more clearly, and develop more structured work coordination mechanisms. The administrators also began to understand the importance of documentation and evaluation as part of the organisational management cycle. In addition, the training encouraged the formation of a more systematic and accountable work pattern in the implementation of organisational programmes. These findings indicate that organisational management training not only improved the administrators' conceptual understanding but also strengthened the organisational management practices of ISMAU Banjarnegara in a sustainable manner.

This community service program aims to improve mothers’ understanding and practical skills in performing proper ablution (wudhu) in Wonotirto Hamlet, Wonomerto Village, Wonosalam District, Jombang Regency. The program was initiated based on preliminary findings indicating that some mothers practiced ablution in ways that did not fully comply with its pillars and legal requirements, particularly regarding the sequence and completeness of washing the required body parts. Such practices potentially affect the validity of daily prayer performance. The community service activity was conducted using a practice-based mentoring approach that integrated the delivery of basic materials, interactive dialogue, demonstrations, and guided individual practice. This approach was selected to provide an applicable and contextual learning experience suitable for participants of diverse ages and religious educational backgrounds. Data were collected through observation, question-and-answer sessions, and activity documentation. The results of the program indicate an improvement in participants’ understanding of the basic concepts of ablution, its pillars and legal requirements, as well as actions that invalidate or perfect ablution. In addition, participants’ practical skills in performing ablution showed significant improvement, as evidenced by a more orderly sequence and more complete washing of the required body parts. The activity also increased participants’ awareness and motivation to improve the quality of their worship and their readiness to transfer proper ablution practices to family members. Therefore, this practice-based ablution mentoring program contributes to strengthening the quality of community worship and may serve as an applicable and sustainable model for community service in religious practice development

Al-Urwatul Wutsqo Islamic Boarding School (Pesantren) faces serious challenges regarding normalized verbal bullying (gojlogan) and the risk of cyberbullying among its Junior (MTs) and Senior (SMA) High School students, particularly amidst the inevitable expansion of the digital era. This community service program aimed to enhance understanding and cultivate a commitment to non-violence within the pesantren environment through a Persuasive-Educative Approach. The implementation method involved preliminary observations and interactive education utilizing empathy simulations, alongside the integration of Ukhuwah Islamiyah (Islamic Brotherhood) values and legal awareness regarding the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law. The results indicated a significant increase in student awareness concerning the psychological impacts of bullying and the legal consequences of digital violence. The persuasive approach proved highly effective in fostering empathy, prompting self-reflection (muhasabah), and successfully mobilizing a collective commitment against bullying among participants, as documented in a joint declaration. It is concluded that this method serves as a humanistic, valid, and highly relevant preventive solution for the pesantren context, which is characterized by intense social interaction and a transition toward digital culture

This community service programme aims to improve the quality of Qur’anic learning through mentoring and training in the Lagu Qur'any programme at TPQ Al-Ikhlas, located in Nglele Village, Sumobito District, Jombang Regency. Lagu Qur-any is an innovative song-based learning medium whose lyrics are derived entirely from Qur’anic values and contain teachings related to faith (iman), worship (ibadah), and morality (akhlaq). This medium is designed to help students understand Qur’anic teachings in a more engaging, communicative, and memorable way. The programme employed a descriptive qualitative approach consisting of three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The participants were 30 TPQ students aged between 7 and 12 years. Data collection techniques included observation to identify changes in students’ participation and behaviour, semi-structured interviews with the TPQ management and teachers, and documentation as supporting evidence. Data were analysed qualitatively through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ ability to memorise Lagu Qur-any, increasing from 30% before the mentoring programme to 83.3% after its implementation. In addition, students demonstrated better understanding of faith, worship, and moral values, as well as increased confidence, enthusiasm, and active participation in Qur’anic learning activities. Therefore, the Lagu Qur-any mentoring programme has proven to be an effective and innovative learning model that enhances the quality of Qur’anic education in TPQ and supports the development of students’ religious character in a sustainable manner.
