Classroom-Based Community Service Program to Foster a Positive Learning Culture Among Students at MTs Jetis, Saptosari, Gunung Kidul

Abstract

A positive learning culture among students requires reinforcement through structured educational interventions, particularly in the post-pandemic context and given the dynamics of digital device use, which have the potential to influence motivation and engagement in learning. This Community Service Program (PkM) aims to foster a positive learning culture among students at MTs Jetis, Saptosari, Gunung Kidul through an interactive classroom education approach that integrates structured tutoring, technology-assisted learning, healthy digital device literacy, and the building of students’ self-confidence. Implementation methods include a preparation and coordination phase with school officials, the conduct of structured classroom sessions based on participatory discussions and interactive digital media, and ongoing mentoring to strengthen the learning ecosystem within the school environment. Activity results demonstrate the successful implementation of interactive classroom education, the development of digital media-based teaching materials, and the implementation of digital device literacy that supports changes in students’ learning behaviors. The targeted changes include increased motivation and engagement in learning, the formation of more focused learning habits, the productive use of devices for learning, and increased student self-confidence in learning activities. Program sustainability is directed through the strengthening of support classes and the continuous use of digital teaching materials by teachers. These findings indicate that an integrated classroom education approach has the potential to foster a sustainable positive learning culture within the madrasah environment.
