A Optimizing Non-formal Education Through Student Participation in KKN UIN Salatiga

Abstract

Education in Indonesia is divided into three parts: formal, non-formal, and informal. Non-formal education in Islam in Piyanggang Village, namely Al-Qur'an Education Park (Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an abbreviated as TPQ) and Madrasah Diniyah Laa Tansa, still lacks awareness regarding Madrasah cleanliness. At the same time, there are few tutoring institutions in Piyanggang Village, and few people are interested due to parents' lack of encouragement and awareness to advance education. Informal for these children. Community service activities aim to be a means for students to channel their knowledge and concern for children who are currently attending school. This research used the PAR (Participatory Action Research) method, with the research subjects being children from TPQ and Madrasah Laa Tansa and approximately 15 children who took additional tutoring. Based on the research results, the results of the service carried out by UIN Salatiga KKN students were reviewing the science of recitation in the TPQ class, holding a Beautiful Sunday work program, and opening free tutoring activities for children in Piyanggang Village.
