PENGUATAN LITERASI SEKOLAH MELALUI REVITALISASI PERPUSTAKAAN, PEMBELAJARAN TEMATIK, DAN PENDAMPINGAN EKSTRAKURIKULER DI SMP ISLAM MISHBAAHUL MUNIIR

Abstract

This community service program was implemented through the 2025/2026 Field Experience Practice (PPL) at SMP Islam Mishbaahul Muniir. The program aimed to strengthen school literacy through library revitalization, contextual thematic English learning, and extracurricular assistance while supporting the professional development of prospective teachers. Four university students collaborated with the school principal, supervising teachers, and students in Grades VII–IX. Activities included initial observation, sorting and labeling book collections, reorganizing library shelves and borrowing records, facilitating English lessons on recount text and texture and taste, supporting science learning, and accompanying reading, religious, historical, museum, and Paskibraka activities. Evaluation drew on field observations, student work, school library records, and feedback from supervising teachers. The activities improved the organization and accessibility of the library collection; field notes indicated greater student engagement in reading, classroom discussions, and thematic writing. Extracurricular activities also provided opportunities for character formation and experiential literacy. The outcomes are descriptive and were not measured using a quantitative pretest–posttest design. The program illustrates a collaborative school-based literacy initiative integrated with practical teacher education.
