Exploring Socio-Economic and Socio-Psychological Factors as A Predictor of Self-Help Groups Dynamics Effectiveness in Debre Birhan, Ethiopia
The study intended to address a knowledge gap by examining the group dynamics effectiveness of Self Help Groups in the Ethiopian context. A correlational design was applied and 372 Self Help Groups members were selected from 60 SHGs through simple random sampling. The main data analysis methods used were Pearson's product-moment correlation and multiple regression. The result indicated that the attitude (r=.667, p<001), extension contact (r=.534, p<001), socioeconomic profile (r=.593, p<001), and social participation (r=.400, p<001) of SHG members had a statistically significant positive relationship with the group’s performance. The model (attitude, social participation, socioeconomic profile, and extension contact) significantly predicted and explained 59.3% of the variance in self-help group dynamics effectiveness. Attitude was the strongest predictor (β = .512, p < .001) & uniquely explained 18.5% of the variance in group dynamics effectiveness, while the socioeconomic profile of self-help group members was the least predictor (β = .106, P < .005) with 0.5% of unique contribution in the explanation of group dynamics. The findings further revealed striking similarities with studies in Asia, suggesting that the potential universalities and the function of self-help group dynamics may transcend regional boundaries.

This activity employs the Empowerment-Based Research (EBR) method, starting from identifying problems, designing activities, evaluation, and dissemination. As a result, students and lecturers from the Graduate School of Humanities, Indonesian Foreign Studies at Osaka University actively participated in the designed training sessions. These trainings focused on introducing dining etiquette, traditional herbal drinks (jamu), traditional music with angklung, and traditional sports such as Patil Lele and Gobag Sodor. Through this training, the aim is not only to teach the materials but also to highlight cultural values and local wisdom as part of cultural diplomacy.
Participatory Action Research-Based Guidance in Managing Students' Screen Time According to Islamic Values
Proper guidance is needed to help students manage their use of technology and digital screens in a balanced way, to prevent negative impacts on their physical health, mental well-being, and religious values. This service aims to assist students in managing screentime wisely and strengthening religious values. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach involved students, teachers, and parents in three madrasahs in Nganjuk: MTSn Nglawak, MTSn Patianrowo, and MTS Termas Baron about 120 participants. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) analysis methods, such as Ven Diagram, Flowchart, Timeline, Problem Tree, and Hope Tree, were applied. The service results show that screen time management training, discussion of religious values, active supervision, introduction of alternative activities, and education about the negative impact of screen time are relevant solutions. PAR-based mentoring can help students achieve a healthy digital balance by religious values, and provide guidance for practitioners and researchers in implementing similar mentoring.
