Abstract

Literacy is essentially the ability of a person to read and write. Knowledge cannot be solely provided by teachers. Therefore, students are expected to be able to explore and seek knowledge and information from various sources to enrich their understanding. In Indonesia, there is still a weak understanding of multiple texts, or, in other words, a lack of comprehension of information. This indicates that the reading and writing literacy skills of Indonesian students are below the global average, especially in the current digital era. Recognizing this situation, the community service team consisting of permanent lecturers from University Muhammadiyah Aceh and I would like to develop reading and writing literacy at Baitul Arqam Islamic Boarding School Aceh Besar. This community service project began on February 19, 2023, and continued indefinitely. The target audience of this project was all middle school-level students. The method used in this community service project was community-based research (CBR), utilizing action research and participatory research approaches. Through guidance and support, the outcome was a book titled "Aku Menulis Aku Berdaya", which consisted of writings by the students of Baitul Arqam. The implications of the service outcomes can strengthen cooperation with neighborhood educational institutions and madrasas to increase the impact of this program, develop more materials and content specifically geared toward students’ literacy needs, including materials based on religion and culture, involve parents and guardians of students in the learning process to support literacy practices in the home environment, and periodically monitor the literacy development of students

Abstract

Prayer can serve as a valuable component of mathematical education, especially in Islamic schools, based on the constructivist learning theory. Utilizing community-based research methods, such as action and participatory research, fosters self-awareness and conflict resolution. Through prayer, students can engage in mathematical concepts like counting and multiplication by observing actions like bows and prostrations. Media supplements, such as a ball count, can enhance learning. Contextual notions of school mathematics are evident in prayer, such as adding and multiplying natural numbers, understanding sets, arithmetic sequences, and geometry concepts like lines, angles, and parallelism. For instance, the number of prayer units illustrates adding natural numbers, while the tahajjud prayer exemplifies multiples of two. Moreover, the congregation's rows during group prayer demonstrate line segments and parallel lines, while the standing position showcases various angles. These connections highlight the relationship between prayer and mathematics, offering unique insights into both disciplines. Integrating prayer into mathematical education not only enriches students' understanding but also fosters a holistic approach to learning.
