The background can be sourced from actual problems that occur in a group of people or certain communities or phenomena that occur from observations in the field. The problem has never (not in depth) been explored by the previous servant so that it creates agap that requires solutive action through service. At the end of the introduction, the purpose of the service must be written.

METHODS

This section contains 150-500 words explaining the methods used to solve (reduce) the problem and also methods to analyze how effective or successful the program is. The steps of the method used can also be explained in the form of a chart or flowchart. The method used should use a strong theoretical basis so that it can be accounted for its scientific aspects. Methods used include: PAR (Participatory Action Research); ABCD (Asset Based Community Development); CBR (Community-Based Research); Service learning; Community development, or other methods/approaches. This method section also explains the time of service, the subject of the service program, how to get data, the type of data that has been obtained, and how to analyze it. The author can also use a chart to explain the flow of the service method carried out.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

(The results and discussion contain 500-1500 words in the form of findings from the implementation of the service and its discussion. Write down the important findings that have been obtained clearly and comprehensively. Findings must be supported by complete and adequate data. The data is then displayed in the form of tables, graphs, histograms, or others and then analyzed using descriptive analysis or relevant statistical formulas. The results and discussion must be able to answer the objectives of the implementation of the service program in the introduction.

To support the clarity of the presentation of the service results, this section can use tables, figures, or charts. If more than one table, figure, or chart is presented, it is mandatory to number them sequentially from number 1 (one). If other parts of the article present tables/pictures/charts, the rules used are the same. Keep in mind that the Results and Discussion section is not allowed to display excessive pictures/photos of activities and tables. The maximum number of photos and tables is 5 (five pieces).

CONCLUSION

The conclusion contains 100-300 words describing the answer to the objectives of the service program or the findings obtained. The conclusion does not contain a repetition of the results and discussion, but rather a summary of the findings as expected in the objectives. Suggestions present things that will be done related to further ideas from the service.
