The concept of the Three Education Centers (Tripusat Pendidikan) introduced by Ki Hajar Dewantara emphasizes that three main environments: family, school, and community must all take responsibility for building a person’s character and abilities. The family acts as the first and main teacher, shaping moral values and character. The school, as a formal institution, is responsible for developing academic skills while also teaching character education. Meanwhile, the community is a real place where people can learn from life, strengthen social values, and apply their knowledge in daily situations. This article discusses different ways to make sure these three education centers work well together. The strategies include effective communication, equal cooperation, and collaborative programs. It also identifies challenges such as lack of communication and gaps in understanding, along with practical solutions.Therefore, to create a generation that is not only smart but also has good character and social responsibility, a strong synergy among the Three Education Centers is needed.</em></p> Jumhuriyatus Sadiyah Nur Khasanah Copyright (c) 2026 Jumhuriyatus Sadiyah, Nur Khasanah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-08-30 2026-08-30 5 2 1 8 10.67528/ic.v5i2.58 PENGABDIAN MASYARAKAT MELALUI PENGAJARAN BAHASA INGGRIS DAN KOLABORASI PEMBUATAN KONTEN DIGITAL DI PANTI ASUHAN BINA INSANI BENGKULU https://ejournal.almarkazibkl.org/index.php/ince/article/view/193 <p><em>This community service program was conducted at Bina Insani Orphanage with the aim of improving children's basic English skills, creativity, and digital literacy through interactive and collaborative learning activities.

One instructional approach that supports this process is Experiential Learning, which emphasizes direct experience as the primary source of learning. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of a Cooking Class as an experiential learning strategy to support English vocabulary acquisition among preschool children. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed at Blinkids.id Preschool on June 2, 2025. Data were collected through classroom observations, documentation, and field notes during the Cooking Class activities. The findings indicate that the activity provided children with opportunities to learn English vocabulary related to food ingredients, cooking utensils, and action verbs through the use of realia, simple classroom instructions, and active participation in meaningful learning experiences. These contextual learning experiences enabled children to understand vocabulary more naturally in accordance with their developmental characteristics. Therefore, Cooking Class has the potential to serve as a contextual, interactive, and enjoyable instructional strategy for supporting English vocabulary acquisition in preschool learners.</em></p> Yuda Septian Kurniawan Sulikah Septi Herawati Copyright (c) 2026 Yuda Septian Kurniawan, Sulikah Septi Herawati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-08-30 2026-08-30 5 2 23 32 10.67528/ic.v5i2.189 PENGARUH PEMBELAJARAN KESEHATAN BERBASIS CONTEXTUAL TEACHING AND LEARNING TERHADAP PENGETAHUAN CUCI TANGAN DAN OBAT AMAN ANAK USIA DINI https://ejournal.almarkazibkl.org/index.php/ince/article/view/199 <p>This study aimed to analyze the effect of health learning using pictorial posters and demonstrations on kindergarten children's knowledge of proper handwashing and safe medicine use.

The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were 30 eighth-grade students. Data on students’ understanding were collected through individual tests, while learning interest was examined qualitatively through observations and interviews based on four indicators: enjoyment, interest, acceptance, and student involvement. The results showed a gradual improvement in students’ understanding. The mean score increased from 33.83 in the pre-cycle to 60.33 in the first cycle and 90.67 in the second cycle. Students’ learning interest also developed positively, as reflected in their increasing enjoyment, interest in using puzzles, acceptance of the learning activities, and involvement in group discussions and task completion. The implementation of Cooperative Learning assisted by puzzles can therefore serve as an alternative approach to support students’ conceptual understanding and learning interest in the topic of urine formation.</em></p> Meirita Sari Elvida Sari Yunilarosi Dian Mardiati Sari Hamzah Pansuri Arsela Eko Listiono Copyright (c) 2026 Meirita Sari, Elvida Sari Yunilarosi, Dian Mardiati Sari, Hamzah Pansuri, Arsela Eko Listiono https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-08-30 2026-08-30 5 2 43 51 10.67528/ic.v5i2.197 IMPLEMENTASI PENGGUNAAN KONTEN DIGITAL PODCAST (POD’ENG) BAHASA INGGRIS PADA PENGUASAAAN SPEAKING DAN VOCABULARY https://ejournal.almarkazibkl.org/index.php/ince/article/view/192 <p><em>The advancement of digital technology has given way to various learning media that can be used to improve English language skills, one of which is podcasts.

This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using a data collection method that involved distributing a questionnaire to 41 respondents. The research instrument consists of nine statements assessing the frequency of podcast use, understanding of English usage, vocabulary mastery, pronunciation skills, and the effectiveness of podcasts as a learning medium. The results indicate that the majority of respondents provided positive feedback regarding the use of English-language podcasts. The majority of responses for each indicator fell into the “agree” category, ranging from 39.02% to 56.10%. The findings indicate that podcasts help respondents understand the use of English in everyday situations, obtain new vocabulary, comprehend word meanings, improve pronunciation, and imitate English expressions and speaking styles. Additionally, podcasts are considered effective because they provide exposure to authentic, natural, and easily accessible language anytime. Thus, English podcasts can serve as an effective digital learning medium to support the improvement of speaking skills and vocabulary mastery for English language learners.</em></p> Novrida Azzahra Sendi Mellya Rosalina Dewi Anggraeni Repsi Jemesti Lestiani Reno Andrean Saputra Copyright (c) 2026 Novrida Azzahra, Sendi Mellya, Rosalina Dewi Anggraeni, Repsi Jemesti, Lestiani, Reno Andrean Saputra https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-08-30 2026-08-30 5 2 52 59 10.67528/ic.v5i2.192 PERAN KETERAMPILAN BAHASA INGGRIS DALAM MENINGKATKAN DAYA SAING KERJA MAHASISWA: REFLEKSI TERHADAP SEMINAR “ENGLISH FOR CAREER, SUCCESS FOR FUTURE” https://ejournal.almarkazibkl.org/index.php/ince/article/view/200 <p><em>In today's competitive labor market, university students are required to possess not only academic competence but also communication skills that support their employability.
