Vol. 1 No. 4 (2025): November 2025

The publication of Volume 1, Number 4 (November 2025) of the Jurnal Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (JPPM) reaffirms the journal’s commitment to advancing interdisciplinary scholarship that meaningfully connects academic research with community-based practices. This issue features five rigorously peer-reviewed articles that collectively address pressing challenges in governance, education, and community empowerment within developing contexts. The contributions span diverse yet interconnected themes, including the reconstruction of Village-Owned Enterprise governance through digital financial accountability, the development of Pancasila-based project learning models, the enhancement of teachers’ technopedagogical competence through generative AI, the promotion of gender-responsive family education, and the strengthening of Qur’anic literacy through creative community-based learning. Each article offers empirically grounded insights and innovative frameworks that respond to the complexities of social transformation in contemporary society.

A defining characteristic of this issue is its strong emphasis on participatory, context-sensitive, and transformative approaches. The featured studies highlight how service-learning, participatory action research, and community engagement function not merely as methodological choices, but as epistemological foundations for producing socially relevant knowledge. By integrating technological innovation, cultural values, and local wisdom, these contributions demonstrate pathways toward sustainable and inclusive development. Methodologically robust and theoretically informed, the articles in this issue reinforce JPPM’s role as an open-access platform that promotes academic integrity, global scholarly exchange, and collaborative knowledge production. Through this publication, JPPM continues to foster critical dialogue and practical solutions that bridge the divide between theory and practice in addressing real-world societal needs.
