Dampak kegiatan ini bermanfaat bagi pendidik untuk mewujudkan pembelajaran yang lebih bermakna, berkualitas menyenangkan, dan mendukung program dinas pendidikan Bangkalan dalam mewujudkan satu sekolah satu inovasi di PAUD Bangkalan.

Abstract:. The mentoring program for educators at TK Anugerah in implementing a local wisdom based educational laboratory rooted in Madurese culture was conducted as a form of community service aimed at enhancing the competencies of early childhood educators in creating learning experiences that are more contextual, meaningful, high-quality, and integrated with Madurese local wisdom. Based on field conditions, educators at TK Anugerah still tend to apply conventional learning models such as teacher-centered learning, with limited innovation in utilizing local cultural potential in instructional practices. Through this community service activity, educators were provided with training, guidance, and hands-on practice on managing learning activities by utilizing an educational laboratory through a scientific learning approach and incorporating learning content derived from Madurese local resources. The main materials implemented in the educational laboratory included the production of soap made from betel leaf and lemongrass extracts, hand sanitizer derived from pandan leaves, and aromatherapy products using a combination of coffee and neem. As a result of this mentoring program, educators were able to develop learning modules with core materials focused on the production of soap, hand sanitizer, and aromatherapy. Both educators were also able to design learning activities using the scientific learning approach, encompassing stages of observing, questioning, collecting information, reasoning, and communicating. The impact of this program benefits educators in realizing learning that is more meaningful, high-quality, and enjoyable, while also supporting the Bangkalan Education Office program in achieving the “one school, one innovation” initiative for early childhood education institutions in Bangkalan.
