‘Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta will soon be ready to operate the Nutrition Service Unit (SPPG) kitchen to support the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG). Based on verification by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), the readiness of UNISA Yogyakarta’s SPPG has reached 90 percent.

“From Unisa Yogyakarta, it is probably 80-90 percent (SPPG kitchen readiness),” said Bachelor of Indonesian Development Activists (SPPI) of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), Avira Durrotul Rasyida, after verifying the location of the UNISA Yogyakarta SPPG kitchen, which is in Notoprajan, Ngampilan, Yogyakarta, Monday (10/3/2025).

Avira explained that for this location verification, checks were carried out starting from the location of the kitchen, area, and equipment. In addition, the kitchen is also ready to operate in the near future. The verification team also provided a number of notes to optimize the SPPG kitchen.

When mentioned, when is the possibility of the UNISA Yogyakarta SPPG kitchen, Avira made it possible in the near future. “Probably after Eid. Earlier we also saw the materials, manpower, kitchen equipment, kitchen safety,” said Avira.

Yuli said that a number of inputs from the BGN team that verified the location were immediately followed up. It is also hoped that after the Eid moment, it can operate immediately. “God willing, it will be ready after Eid. This week we will fix it,” said Yuli.

Yuli hopes that the presence of SPPG UNISA Yogyakarta can support the MBG program and benefit future generations. “The main target is ABA kindergartens in the Ngampilan area, elementary school students, and maybe some junior high school students. UNISA is also planning to provide for pregnant women, but waiting for BGN’s approval. Hopefully, with this, nutrition will be fulfilled and the generation will be healthy,” said Yuli.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION: The Crater of the Golden Generation, as Well as The Frontline to Fight Stunting

,

Preschool Teacher

Early childhood (0-6 years) is like a blank canvas, full of colorful spontaneity, explosive curiosity, and unlimited imagination. However, behind that agility and playfulness, there is also vulnerability: easy frustration, short attention span, and natural egocentrism. This is where Early Childhood Education (ECE) comes in, as the crater of the candradimuka that forges Indonesia’s golden generation.

PAUD is not just a place to play. More than that, PAUD is a holistic stimulation stage, stimulating children’s motor, emotional, and intellectual potential. The goal is clear: to prepare them to enter the next level of education with a solid foundation.

However, the burden of PAUD goes beyond that. The government has high hopes for PAUD in the effort to prevent stunting. Two crucial indicators are the benchmark: covering parents who attend parenting classes and covering children aged 2-6 years who are registered as PAUD students.

PAUD teachers are at the forefront, required to be able to provide stimulation, detection, and intervention of child growth and development, under the close supervision of puskesmas and health offices. This service is even one of the assessment indicators in PAUD accreditation.

Unfortunately, reality says otherwise. Not all PAUD teachers have adequate capacity, especially in monitoring children’s growth and development. The data is astonishing: 94% of teachers do not understand early detection of child development.

This condition aroused the concern of Sri Ratnaningsih and Rosmita Nuzuliana, a community service team from the Midwifery Undergraduate Program at the Faculty of Health (FIKes) of Universitas `Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta. They initiated a training program on the detection of children’s growth and development, targeting IGABA Turi PAUD teachers.

“The first step was in-depth problem identification, followed by the delivery of Early Detection of Growth and Development material based on the Ministry of Health 2022. The training method was made interactive: discussion, roleplay with case studies, and case presentations,” said Sri Ratnaningsih, Saturday (8/3/2025).

The training, which was attended by 34 IGABA PAUD teachers, produced positive results. Teachers’ knowledge and skills in detecting children’s growth and development increased significantly. As a provision, the service team provided growth and development detection books and educational game tools.

As a follow-up, teachers are committed to conducting growth and development detection at least once a year, according to the age of the students’ development. This effort is expected to detect potential growth problems early, so that intervention can be done as early as possible.

“Thus, PAUD is not only a place to play, but also a stronghold against stunting, ensuring that every Indonesian child grows optimally, becoming a quality golden generation,” added Rosmita Nuzuliana.

Utilization of Smart Eco Farming for Outdoor Learning at SDN Ledoknongko

,

News, News, Research

An innovation in education is once again present through the Smart Eco Farming program implemented at SD Negeri Ledoknongko, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. This program is part of the Community Service activities initiated by the research team from the University of ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta. Using hydroponic-based outdoor learning methods, the program aims to improve students’ cognition and reduce post-pandemic academic stress.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought huge challenges to the education system, especially for elementary school students who have to adapt to online learning methods. As a result, many students have experienced a decrease in learning motivation and difficulty in adapting back to face-to-face learning. Seeing this phenomenon, the research team from UNISA Yogyakarta initiated the Smart Eco Farming program as a more interactive and fun learning solution.

Smart Eco Farming is a technology-based farming method combined with environmental sustainability principles. In this program, students of SDN Ledoknongko are invited to learn firsthand about hydroponic techniques, from seed sowing, plant care, to harvesting. The hydroponic system was chosen due to its ease of application and its benefits in teaching students about modern agriculture.

The program began with an in-class education session on the basics of hydroponics. Furthermore, students are given the opportunity to directly practice planting and caring for plants in hydroponic installations that have been prepared in the school area. Not only improving academic understanding, this activity also aims to hone students’ social, motor and emotional skills.

The evaluation results showed an increase in students’ understanding of hydroponics as well as a positive impact on their psychological well-being. Based on surveys conducted before and after the program, students who participated in this activity experienced an increase in learning motivation and a decrease in academic stress levels.

“We see very positive changes in the children. They are more enthusiastic about learning and better understand the concept of modern agriculture. In addition, they are also more active and confident,” said Ika Afifah Nugraheni, S.P., M.Biotech, Head of the Community Service Team from UNISA Yogyakarta.

This activity also received appreciation from the school and parents. Head of SDN Ledoknongko, Anik Hendrawati, S.Pd. M.Pd in her statement, expressed her hope that similar programs can continue to be developed in other schools as a form of innovation in learning methods.

The success of this program shows that hands-on learning methods such as Smart Eco Farming can be an effective solution in improving the quality of education at the primary school level. With support from various parties, it is hoped that this program can continue and become a model for other schools in developing more innovative and environmentally friendly learning methods.
