Development Of The Learning Environment And Health Education Media Through Student Teaching Assistance At RA Azam Insan Cendikia, Pekanbaru

Abstract

The Independent Learning–Independent Campus (MBKM) teaching assistance program offers students contextual learning experiences while supporting partner schools. TK RA Azam Insan Cendikia in Pekanbaru, which has two classrooms, faced two main problems: limited functional arrangement of the learning environment and the absence of structured visual media for Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) and tooth-brushing education. This community engagement activity aimed to develop the learning environment and health education media through student teaching assistance. A descriptive-participatory approach was applied by 13 students from 29 June to 10 July 2026, covering needs observation, program planning, implementation, technology adaptation using Canva, and evaluation and reflection. The program produced one set each of PHBS media, tooth-brushing media, 5S culture media, and visual classroom rules; one learning calendar; two learning areas (a reading corner and a learning corner); and two to three types of teaching aids. Before-and-after observation showed that media were arranged by function, wall space was used for educational content, and teachers could reuse the media for learning and habituation activities. The evaluation was descriptive and did not measure changes in children’s knowledge or behavior. Sustainability depends on the teachers’ continued use of the media and on Canva as a tool for developing new media.
