PERAN RUMAH BELAJAR MASYARAKAT DALAM MENDUKUNG PENDIDIKAN ANAK DI DESA MARGA MULYA KECAMATAN SUNGAI BAHAR

Abstract

Children's education in Marga Mulya Village, Sungai Bahar District, still faces various challenges,
especially in terms of access and learning assistance. As part of the implementation of the Tri Dharma Perguruan
Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education), Batanghari Islamic University, through the Community Learning
Center at Post 23, strives to support the improvement of the quality of children's education. This program
provides tutoring services, academic assistance, and learning motivation reinforcement by actively involving
students, lecturers, and the local community. Activities are carried out using child-friendly, interactive, and
educational learning methods, including games, discussions, and practice questions. Observations show an
improvement in children's reading, writing, arithmetic, discipline, interest, and learning motivation. Additionally,
this program has fostered good cooperation between mentors, children, and parents, and has been positively
received by the community as an effective alternative learning tool.
