Reading Material

The problem faced by SDN Girimoyo 02 in implementing the school literacy movement was the lack of the number and type of reading material. This problem was overcome through the empowerment of teaching writing skills. Therefore, the aim of this community service was to provide creative writing assistance for SDN Girimoyo 2 teachers so that teachers can contribute reading material to fill the existing gaps. The service method was carried out through workshops and collective and personal mentoring, face-to-face and online. The results of the activity show that the teacher's main problem was exploring ideas or topics to be written about and starting to write. There were doubts and distrust of the teacher when writing, afraid that the idea is not good, not quite right, and not good. Likewise, when starting to write, the first sentence of the writing is felt to be insufficient. For this reason, the handling was carried out on the teacher by strengthening self-confidence, practicing simple writing that starts from experience to develop in writing accompanied by arguments or rationality, and writing assistance. Through this activity, teachers feel very helpful and motivated to optimize the implementation of GLS in schools. Teachers have been able to access various information related to cultural literacy and produce a joint workbook.

Community Service is one part of the direct contribution from academics, in this case the Faculty of Economics and Business, Trisakti University to the community. On this occasion the Trisakti University FEB team had the opportunity to provide training on Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA) for MSMEs. This training is considered important considering that the understanding of MSME actors in terms of the flow cost of material is still very minimal, so that in the implementation of their business there are still very few who apply it in the production process. This training aims to educate MSME actors in terms of flow cost accounting for the use of their production materials, MSMEs can sort out the types and types of materials to be used so as to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of production to increase sales and business profits. PKM training will be carried out using an online method considering the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, which until now has not allowed face-to-face/off-line training. The output of this PKM will be published to the public so that it can provide wider benefits.
