Sasaran program ini adalah kelompok peternak cacing tanah bernama Margo Mulyo. Selama tiga tahun terakhir, kuantitas dan juga kualitas produk masih belum sesuai dengan permintaan yang sangat besar. Kapasitas produksi hanya diseluruh 30 kg per bulan sedangkan permintaan lebih dari 100 kg hingga 1.000 kg per bulan. Masalah utama adalah belum  ada fasilitas yang sesuai seperti tempat yang khusus untuk pembibitan cacing tanah. Selain itu, kemasan juga sangat sederhana, yang hanya dibungkus plastik polos. Jadi hasilnya adalah kapasitas produksi rendah dan kualitas juga rendah. Melalui penyediaan pelatihan dan bangunan yang tepat untuk beternak cacing tanah sesuai dengan spesifikasi standar, kelompok peternak cacing tanah diharapkan bisa menghasilkan cacing tanah dalam kualitas yang lebih baik dan kuantitas yang lebih tinggi dan dapat memenuhi permintaan pelanggan. Metode untuk mencapai tujuan ini adalah dengan membangun sebuah bangunan yang tepat untuk berkembang biak cacing tanah dan pelatihan teknis dalam manajemen pemasaran yang efektif. Pembuatan bangunan cacing tanah perlu dilakukan, karena belum ada bangunan yang memadai untuk beternak cacing tanah. Dengan menggunakan peralatan produksi yang lebih baik dan memiliki standar tertentu dan kemasan yang memadai, diharapkan kelompok ini dapat meningkatkan kuantitas dan kualitas produk dan pada akhirnya meningkatkan volume penjualan dan pendapatannya. Kata kunci: Pengembangan; Beternak; Cacing tanah; Kuantitas; Kualit

Exploring EFL Pre-Service Teachers’ Critical Incidents in Microteaching Practicum

This paper analyzes pre-service teachers’ critical incidents as reflected in their e-portfolios during their teaching simulation in the microteaching course. Three cycles of teaching practice were scheduled for each student-teacher. Thirty-six student-teacher critical incidents and e-portfolios were analyzed. Data were collected mainly from their e-portfolios containing their critical incidents. In addition, observations and focus group discussions were conducted to triangulate and confirm the students’ critical incidents. Results showed that of the total 130 critical incidents, 60 occurred in their first, 38 in their second, and 34 in their third teaching cycle. It indicates that the pre-service teachers struggle more at the beginning of their teaching practicum, go through the learning process, and develop their understanding of teaching. In addition, the student-teachers are empowered by obtaining the ability to sense the theoretical and practical gaps in teaching, indicate teaching problems and complexity, become aware of the challenging classroom management issues, and future professional development. This study highlights the importance of reflective practices such as critical incident analyses to be induced in teacher training programs. Through critical incident identification, pre-service teachers are trained to develop their reflection-on-action skills, pedagogical awareness, and choices and sharpen their sense of teaching problems, particularly when encountering theory-practice gaps

Wayang Beber ‘Ki Remeng Mangunjaya’ of Gelaran Village Wonosari, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta

This community service is a real effort to preserve and develop Javanese cultural heritage called Wayang Beber. Wayang Beber is a kind of Javanese puppet which is less popular in society. Therefore, it ugently needs preservation and development program to keep it away from extinction. However, this intention might be obstructed by a belief strongly hold by the community that Wayang Beber is a sacred object which cannot be performed publicly. Another problem is that the stories are limited due to the limited number of existing Wayang Beber. Instead of its very long being (since 1283), the presence of Wayang Beber is barely known by people, especially the young generation as it is barely performed. This phenomenon is influenced by the custom in which only the descendants of the original owner are allowed to play it. Regarding of this issue, the authors conducted a community service program to raise awareness among Gelaran villagers that they can develop Wayang Beber existed in their village to become a ‘saleable’ cultural asset. The method applied was duplicating Wayang Beber Wonosari and designing visual communication contents to spread information to wider audiences. Wayang Beberadalah salah satu jenis wayang yang merupakan peninggalan nenek moyang bangsa Indonesia yang perlu untuk dilestarikan. Wayang Beberberbentuk gulungan kertas bergambar yang dibentangkan ke hadapan penonton ketika dipagelarkan. Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk membuat duplikasi dua gulungan Wayang BeberWonosari lakon Jaka Tarub serta desain untuk konten media sosial sebagai sarana publikasi Wayang Beber. Metode design thinking digunakan untuk mendeskripsikan tahapan-tahapan dalam pembuatan duplikat dan desain konten media sosial yang dimulai dengan tahapan pencarian data sampai pada proses karya akhir. Pembuatan duplikat Wayang BeberWonosari lakon Jaka Tarub  yang nantinya digunakan dalam pagelaran merupakan upaya untuk mengurangi risiko kerusakan lebih parah lagi pada Wayang Beberyang asli. Di samping itu, juga sebagai lakon pendamping dari Wayang BeberRemeng Mangunjaya yang selama ini telah dipentaskan. Melalui program pengabdian kepada masyarakat berupa penciptaan duplikat Wayang BeberWonosari lakon Jaka Tarub ini, pagelaran Wayang BeberWonosari masih bisa tetap bisa dilestarikan. Selain itu, informasi yang berkaitan dengan Wayang Beberbisa disampaikan kepada masyarakat melalui konten media sosial yang telah dibuat
