PENDAMPINGAN UMAT KATOLIK: MEMAHAMI "MAKNA TEOLOGIS" DAN FUNGSI ALAT LITURGI UNTUK PENGHAYATAN IBADAT YANG LEBIH MENDALAM DI ST. FRANSISKUS BTN

2026-03-08T14:14:16+00:00

The understanding of the Catholic faithful regarding the theological meaning of the Eucharist and the function of liturgical instruments is often still superficial. This condition not only diminishes reverence but also hinders active participation in worship, even though a correct understanding is the main foundation of ecclesial life. Stemming from this problem, this community service activity aims to enhance the faithful's appreciation through comprehensive assistance at St. Francis BTN Church. The implementation method used a participatory approach through three stages: interactive lectures, demonstrations of liturgical instruments, and discussions with Q&A sessions. The target audience was 35 faithful from various categorical groups. The results showed a significant increase in the participants' understanding, measured through pre-tests and post-tests. The average comprehension score of the participants increased from 62% in the pre-test to 88% in the post-test, with the highest increase in the indicator of the theological meaning of the paten and corporal. Furthermore, high enthusiasm was observed during the demonstration sessions. The faithful not only understood the names and functions of the instruments but also the theological meaning behind each liturgical symbol. This assistance proved effective in building a new awareness that the liturgy is not merely a routine, but a personal encounter with Christ. It is recommended that similar activities be carried out periodically with more in-depth material, such as the meaning of liturgical vestments and gestures.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE "SPEAK WITH CONFIDENCE" MODULE: INTERVENTION BASED ON THE RESULTS OF IDENTIFYING ENGLISH LANGUAGE ANXIETY FACTORS IN LOW-ACHIEVING STUDENTS AT SMPN WELIMAN

2026-03-04T07:20:22+00:00

English speaking anxiety is a significant psychological barrier experienced by low-achieving students, impacting low active participation and academic achievement. Based on initial observations at SMPN Weliman, it was found that 78% of students with scores below the Minimum Completeness Criteria experienced symptoms of high anxiety such as nervousness, fear of making mistakes, trembling voices, and avoiding eye contact when asked to speak English. This condition is exacerbated by the unavailability of teaching materials or special intervention programs from the school to address speaking anxiety in this student group, causing the problem to persist without systematic handling. This research, conducted in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, aims to develop the "Speak with Confidence" module as an intervention based on the identification results of English speaking anxiety factors in low-achieving students at SMPN Weliman. The research method used Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research subjects were 32 eighth-grade students who had low English achievement and high anxiety levels based on initial screening using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). Data collection instruments included an adapted FLCAS questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, participatory observation, and speaking performance tests. SMPN Weliman played an active role as a research partner, contributing to the initial identification of low-achieving and high-anxiety students, providing facilities, space, and time for intervention implementation, involving English teachers in practical validation of the module, and providing assistance during the program implementation process. The identification results showed three main anxiety factors: fear of making mistakes (78%), lack of confidence (72%), and limited vocabulary (68%). The "Speak with Confidence" module was developed using a scaffolding approach and integration of relaxation techniques, consisting of six progressive learning units covering self-introduction, vocabulary enrichment, constructing simple sentences, expressing ideas, dialogue practice, and mini-presentations. Expert validation results showed the module was highly feasible to use with an average score of 84.8% (very feasible category). Effectiveness test results showed a significant decrease in anxiety levels from an average of 82.3 (high category) to 45.6 (low category) and an increase in speaking performance scores from an average of 54.2 to 78.6. The paired sample t-test showed a significance of 0.000 (<0.05), proving the module's effectiveness statistically. This research concludes that the "Speak with Confidence" module is effective in reducing anxiety and improving English speaking skills of low-achieving students at SMPN Weliman. This module is recommended to be integrated into regular English learning and remedial programs as a needs-based intervention that can be applied sustainably.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a strategic role in supporting national and regional economic stability. In Papua, the MSME sector continues to develop as a key driver of the local economy. However, many MSME actors still face challenges in financial management, such as the lack of transaction recording, the absence of separation between personal and business finances, and limited understanding of financial reporting. This condition results in a low ability to control cash flow and to access formal financing sources. The use of digital technology through financial applications has become an effective solution to improve efficiency and transparency in MSME financial management. One recommended application is SIAPIK (Sistem Informasi Aplikasi Pencatatan Informasi Keuangan), developed by Bank Indonesia, which helps business actors prepare simple digital-based financial reports. This community service activity was conducted in Kampung Enggros, Distrik Abepura, Kota Jayapura, Provinsi Papua, aiming to provide assistance in bookkeeping and the preparation of digital-based financial reports for local micro business actors. The methods used include socialization, training, and participatory assistance in the use of the SIAPIK application. The results show a significant improvement in participants’ understanding of transaction recording, asset management, pricing determination, and receivables and payables management. In addition, business actors are able to operate the SIAPIK application independently and produce valid financial reports to support decision-making and access to financing.
