PKM Pelatihan Perancangan Prototype Internet of Things (IoT) untuk Smart Aquaculture
Vocational High Schools Nurul Jadid (SMKNJ) as vocational education institutions have a strategic role in producing skilled human resources who are ready to face the challenges of industry 4.0. However, based on the results of observations and communication with SMK partners in coastal areas, it was found that students still have limited knowledge and skills in the application of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, especially in the context of relevant industrial worlds such as aquaculture. This is a major problem because the low understanding of technology makes SMK graduates less competitive and have minimal innovation in developing appropriate technology-based solutions. This community service activity was carried out in the form of intensive training for SMK students through the method of delivering materials, demonstrations, and direct practice workshops. The focus of the training was on creating a prototype of an IoT-based water quality monitoring system consisting of a microcontroller device (ESP32), temperature sensor, pH sensor, and cloud-based monitoring system (such as Blynk or Thingspeak). This solution not only provides conceptual understanding, but also practical skills that can be directly applied to the needs of industry and student projects. Based on the evaluation conducted using a pre-test, students' understanding of IoT concepts increased by 35%. This indicator of success was proven by feedback from participants, the successful training demonstrated their ability to independently build functional prototypes, and 95% of participants successfully assembled and programmed the basics. Thus, this activity is able to bridge the gap between industry needs and the skills of vocational school students and open up opportunities for local innovation in the field of smart aquaculture.

Pemberdayaan Guru dalam Terapi Kolase sebagai Media Adaptasi Sosial Santri Pesantren
Social adaptation is essential for new students entering the pesantren environment, where they must adjust to a more disciplined, structured, and collective lifestyle. Limited adaptive ability often leads to difficulties in interaction, feelings of awkwardness, low self-esteem, and reduced learning motivation. Companion teachers hold a strategic role in guiding students through this transition, yet many still lack the skills to utilize creative media that support self-expression and interpersonal engagement. To address this need, this community service program focuses on strengthening teachers’ capacity to apply collage therapy as an alternative medium for facilitating social adaptation.Implemented at Pesantren Zainul Anwar, Kraksaan, Probolinggo, the program involved companion teachers and newly enrolled students. Activities were conducted through six stages: needs assessment, program dissemination, training and workshops, collage therapy implementation, mentoring and monitoring, and final evaluation. Using an experiential learning approach, the training emphasized hands-on practice and simulation. The results show improved teacher competence in facilitating collage-based activities and increased student interaction, cooperation, self-expression, and confidence. The program highlights collage therapy as an effective method that can be sustainably integrated into creative mentoring strategies within pesantren settings.

This Community Service Program was conducted for two months at MI Nurul Mun’im, focusing on nutrition education about fast food, which generally contains low nutritional value but high levels of saturated fats, sugars, salt, and calories. These components can trigger various health problems such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and other metabolic disorders. The low awareness among students regarding the long-term dangers of consuming such foods served as the main background for the importance of systematic nutrition education. The objective of this program was to improve students’ knowledge and awareness of the negative impacts of fast food consumption and to encourage the development of healthy eating habits from an early age. The implementation methods included interactive lectures, educational video screenings, quiz games, small group discussions, and the distribution of printed educational materials. The target participants were fifth- and sixth-grade students of MI Nurul Mun’im, totaling 70 students. The evaluation results showed that students gained a better understanding of fast food and the distinction between healthy and unhealthy foods. There was also an increase in their awareness of the dangers of fast food and their interest in adopting healthier eating patterns. The students’ enthusiasm during the Community Service activities brought many benefits both to the students and the school. Therefore, future long-term initiatives will focus on reducing fast food availability in the school canteen and providing quarterly mentoring sessions to update knowledge about healthy food.
Pendampingan Pembelajaran Penulisan Arab Pegon bagi Santri Pondok Pesantren Darul Fawaid Ilmiyah Randujalak Besuk Probolinggo
The Arabic Pegon literacy learning plays a crucial role in preserving Islamic literacy traditions within Islamic boarding schools (pesantren), especially among students studying classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning).

In addition, it also provides an understanding of tafaqquh fid-din and is expected to be able to provide a solution for Islamic Boarding Schools regarding the importance of maintaining and developing students' understanding in the field of religion. This mentoring uses the Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) method, which is a partnership approach involving management members, religious teachers, and the researchers themselves. This is intended to ensure that activities continue even after the mentoring has concluded. From the evaluation results, it is proven that this mentoring has a positive and significant impact, especially in the development of the Qur'an and the deepening of furudul ainiyah, a culture of mutual assistance has emerged, strengthening Islamic brotherhood, and strengthening the tradition of studying yellow books and the Qur'an and being able to practice furudul ainiyah material.
Inovasi Pemetaan Desa dengan Google Maps: Implementasi di Kawasan Pengunungan
All elements of a village, including its potential, community culture, and natural and human resources, are important assets that belong to the village and require development, promotion, and dissemination efforts to the wider community. With Google Maps, the spatial planning of villages, including mosques, schools, health facilities, and other important places, has become more efficient and easier to access. The objective of this research is to digitize the area using Google Maps to facilitate others in obtaining information, promoting businesses, and improving accessibility and village development.

The positive impacts of this program can be seen in students’ behavioral changes toward waste management, improved creative abilities, and the creation of an innovative learning atmosphere. Program sustainability is planned through integration into the local content curriculum, the establishment of a creative school community, and the development of partnerships with external parties.
Peningkatan Kesadaran dan Keterampilan Warga dalam Pengelolaan Sampah Rumah Tangga Berbasis 3R
Waste management in rural areas is often not handled optimally due to the low level of community awareness and skills. Household waste that is disposed of carelessly not only causes environmental pollution but also disrupts village aesthetics and poses health risks. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge, skills, and participation of residents in Kalianyar Village, Kapas District, Bojonegoro Regency in household waste management based on the 3R principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method. The program was carried out through four main stages: (1) problem identification with residents and mapping of waste sources; (2) planning through education, training, and the establishment of a waste management institution; (3) action in the form of socialization, training on separating organic and inorganic waste, compost production using the Takakura basket method and biopore holes, as well as processing inorganic waste into handicrafts; and (4) reflection and evaluation to measure the success of the program. The results indicated an increase in residents’ knowledge from an average of 55% to 85%. As many as 70% of participants began practicing waste separation at home, 50% produced compost independently, and 35% utilized inorganic waste into creative products with economic value. In addition, a Village Waste Bank was established and successfully collected 120 kg of inorganic waste within the first two weeks of operation. These findings demonstrate that the PAR method is effective in building collective awareness and strengthening community engagement in maintaining environmental cleanliness. The success of this program is expected to serve as a replication model for other villages in realizing a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.
Peningkatan Produktivitas Budidaya Jamur Tiram melalui Partisipasi Masyarakat dan Penerapan Teknologi Tepat Guna
Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are a horticultural commodity with high economic value and increasing market demand, both from households and the culinary industry. However, at the local farmer level, productivity remains low due to limitations in cultivation methods, production facilities, and technical knowledge. Therefore, this community engagement program was essential to address the need for increased production capacity and to support the economic independence of mushroom farmers. This program was implemented in Jugruk Rejosari Village, Kandangan Sub-district, Benowo District, Surabaya, in collaboration with the farmer group “Jamur Jaya Sukses” as part of the Bangun Desa Unggul program initiated by Baitulmaal Muamalat. The interventions included the distribution of 2,000 baglogs, the implementation of automated temperature and humidity control systems, the use of fermented agricultural waste as a growing medium, steam sterilization, and a micro misting system. Technical mentoring was also provided through consultation with mushroom cultivation practitioners from Magetan. The results demonstrated increased cultivation efficiency, such as reduced crop failure rates, shorter harvesting periods, and lower operational costs due to the use of local waste-based substrates. Additionally, mushroom productivity significantly improved, from an average of 0.6 kg per baglog to 0.9 kg per baglog. This program is expected to serve as a practical model for the sustainable development of oyster mushroom cultivation in other regions.
Optimalisasi Zakat Produktif Berbasis Maqashid Syariah untuk Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Masyarakat Kraksaan, Probolinggo
Zakat is a strategic instrument in Islam that carries both devotional and socio-economic dimensions. However, in many regions, including Keboangung Village, Kraksaan District, Probolinggo Regency, zakat management still tends to be consumptive and lacks a long-term empowerment orientation. The distribution of zakat as mere direct aid fails to sustainably transform the condition of the mustahiq (zakat recipients). This program aims to optimize zakat management through a productive approach based on maqashid sharia as both a philosophical foundation and an operational framework for empowering the local economy. The maqashid sharia approach encompasses the protection of religion (din), life (nafs), intellect (‘aql), lineage (nasl), and wealth (mal). The implementation methods include socialization and education on the values of maqashid sharia for zakat managers and the local community, skill development and business management training for mustahiq, as well as intensive mentoring in the establishment and growth of business units funded by zakat. The results of this community service activity show positive outcomes in optimizing productive zakat based on maqashid sharia for economic empowerment. Through education and socialization efforts targeting key stakeholders, there has been an increase in understanding regarding the importance of transforming zakat management from a consumptive to a productive approach grounded in the five core objectives of maqashid sharia: the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth

Implementasi Gerakan ABABIL: Membangun Budaya Literasi di MI Ihyauddiniyah Probolinggo
This community service activity carries the theme of the Implementation of the Ayo Bangkit Bina Literacy (ABABIL) Movement which was carried out at MI Ihyauddiniyah, Sareh Hamlet, Duren Village, Probolinggo Regency. This school has great potential in developing a culture of literacy, supported by the involvement of cooperative teachers and available free space. However, several challenges are still faced, such as low student interest in reading, limited facilities and extracurricular literacy programs, and the lack of a consistent reading culture. The low interest in reading was identified through observations of student habits regarding access to reading materials, the level of activity in reading sessions, and the results of a diagnostic questionnaire that measures reading frequency, reading duration, and interest in various types of reading. This program aims to build a sustainable literacy ecosystem through optimizing the reading space and the active involvement of all school members. The program implementation method is designed in five stages: (1) needs analysis using a participatory SWOT approach, (2) collaborative activity planning between students, teachers, and pupils, (3) literacy training through story writing classes, critical reading, public speaking, and small da'wah, (4) implementation of literacy activities in the form of daily practice in the reading room and school forum, and (5) monitoring and evaluation to measure the effectiveness of the program and develop follow-up actions. The results of the activities show the formation of an active reading room that is used routinely, increased student participation in literacy activities, and the growth of students' self-confidence and communication skills. This program is a collaborative model between students, teachers, and pupils in building a contextual and sustainable literacy culture in the elementary education environment.
Pelatihan Metode Jibril untuk Meningkatkan Kefasihan Membaca Al-Qur’an di TPQ Achsin Qifly, Besuk Agung Kraksaan
This community service program was motivated by the low level of Qur’anic reading fluency among students at TPQ Achsin Qifly, Besuk Agung. A preliminary survey revealed that approximately 50% of the students were unable to read the Qur’an fluently and in accordance with proper tajwid rules. This condition was primarily caused by the use of conventional teaching methods and the lack of participatory approaches. The purpose of this program was to improve the students’ Qur’anic reading skills through the implementation of the Jibril Method, which consists of three main components: talaqqi (direct recitation), takrir (repetition), and tas-hih (correction). The program employed a qualitative case study approach combined with participatory methods, actively involving students in all stages of the learning process, from needs assessment to evaluation. The results demonstrated significant improvements in the students’ pronunciation (makhraj), application of tajwid rules, and reading fluency. In addition to technical skill enhancement, this program also fostered positive changes in students’ learning behavior and increased parental involvement in supporting the learning process. Therefore, the Jibril Method has proven to be effective and suitable as a holistic and adaptive approach to meet the students’ needs. However, these findings are still contextual, and further research is required to explore its applicability in other Qur’anic learning centers.
Sinergi Edukasi Fikih Ramadhan dan Aksi Sosial: Pendampingan Keislaman di MWCNU Paiton
The Paiton community faces two main problems during Ramadan: a low understanding of the fiqh of fasting and weak social concern for orphans and poor families. Many people perform religious practices based on tradition without a strong fiqh foundation, leading to potential mistakes in fasting, zakat fitrah, and other worship.
