The Effectiveness of Thematic Student Community Service Intervention in Teaching and Learning Activities at SDN 003 Waru

Education is a basic need which its presence must be carried out by government. However, in rality, government fails to deliver such qualified education to public due to various impediments. Many areas experience such impediments, not to exclude Api-Api Village in Penajam Paser Utara Regency. The lack of numbers of educators as well as inadequate support from surrounding towards the importance of education, lead to difficulty of schools to develop qualified education for students. Therefore, a group of students under community service duty from Universitas Mulawarman attempts to give a new perspective in learning methods through ice breaking and problem-based learning. As a result, students experience improvement in motivation and learning outcomes.
