Lecturers from the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY) carried out a community service program (PkM) at the Gamping Grand Mosque Foundation, Ambarketawang, Sleman. The program was led by Dr. Dhyah Setyorini, M.Si., Ak., CA., with team members Prof. Sukirno, Ph.D., Diana Rahmawati, M.Si., Mahendra Adhi Nugroho, Ph.D., and Dian Juliani, M.Sc. In this initiative, the FEB UNY team partnered with the Gamping Grand Mosque Foundation to strengthen transparent, accountable, and efficient mosque financial management.

The background of this program lies in the importance of professional mosque financial management so that collected funds can be properly accounted for. Therefore, the PkM team of FEB UNY supported the Gamping Grand Mosque Foundation by developing a system called SIMAG Sakinah (Sistem Informasi Masjid Agung Gamping: Sistem Akuntansi Kas Informatif dan Amanah). This system is expected to automate the recording of cash inflows and outflows in a computerized manner, enabling administrators to monitor and record each transaction more effectively.

Beyond system development, the lecturers also provided assistance and training for the implementation of SIMAG Sakinah. Through these training sessions, mosque administrators were guided to effectively operate the application, thereby improving their capacity in managing mosque finances. The assistance was conducted intensively to ensure that the system could be utilized properly in line with the expected principles of accounting.

The impact of this program extends beyond enhancing the digital skills of mosque administrators. It is also expected to foster greater transparency and accountability in financial management. With the adoption of SIMAG Sakinah, the financial governance of the Gamping Grand Mosque Foundation has become more modern, while community trust in the management of mosque funds is also expected to increase.

This community service program also contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education by enhancing the capacity of mosque administrators, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure through the development of a digital accounting system, and SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions by ensuring transparent and accountable mosque financial management. Moreover, the initiative reflects the importance of partnerships between higher education institutions and communities in line with SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals. (rn/fdhl)

Dian Normalitasari Purnama, M.Pd., a lecturer in the Department of Accounting Education at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Yogyakarta State University (FEB UNY), successfully defended her dissertation on Tuesday, July 23, during an open examination for the doctoral program in the Educational Research and Evaluation Study Program at the Postgraduate School (SPs) UNY. The examination took place in the Examination Room on the third floor of the Sugeng Mardiyono Building, SPs UNY, and was led by Chief Examiner Prof. Dr. Siswantoyo, M.Kes., AIFO. The board of examiners included Dr. Ir. Priyanto, M.Kom. (Examiner Secretary), Prof. Dr. Samsul Hadi, M.Pd., M.T. (Promoter), Prof. Sukirno, S.Pd., M.Si., Ph.D. (Co-promoter), Prof. Dr. H. Nugraha, SE., Ak., M.Si., CA., CPA., CFP (Main Examiner 1), and Prof. Dr. Endang Mulyani, M.Sc. (Main Examiner 2).

Dian earned her doctoral degree with distinction, achieving a GPA of 3.86. In recognition of her accomplishments, she has been appointed as the Ambassador of the Graduate School, tasked with enhancing the science and reputation of the UNY Graduate School.

Her dissertation, titled "Development of Computer-Based Testlet Instruments to Detect Basic Accounting Learning Difficulties in Vocational High School Students," introduces an innovative tool designed to identify learning challenges in accounting among vocational high school students. This instrument aids accounting teachers in implementing the independent curriculum, which necessitates diagnostic assessments to better understand student difficulties.

By employing a computer-based testlet instrument, teachers can identify specific learning difficulties among students, which can then inform improvements in the learning process. The instrument has undergone testing and has demonstrated high quality based on qualitative reviews, content validity, construct validity, question characteristics, and practical implementation. The study's findings suggest that this computer-based testlet instrument is suitable for use in diagnostic assessments to support the independent curriculum.

The Dean of FEB UNY, Prof. Dr. Siswanto, M.Pd., also attended the doctoral promotion hearing. In his remarks, he expressed his hopes for Dian, stating, "I hope Dr. Dian Normalitasari Purnama can apply her knowledge to advance the world of education and her institution." This achievement not only brings pride to Dr. Dian but also to UNY, which remains committed to enhancing the quality of education and research.

Eka Ary Wibawa yang merupakan dosen Departemen Pendidikan Akuntansi FEB UNY memperoleh penghargaan sebagai best presenter virtual pada International Conference on Research, Innovation, and Investment (ICRII) 2024 yang diselenggarakan oleh University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines pada tanggal 16-17 September 2024. Konferensi internasional ini merupakan pertemuan para peneliti, inovator, investor, pembuat kebijakan, dan akademisi lainnya yang mendiskusikan ide-ide inovatif, tren riset, dan best practice hilirisasi riset guna mendukung ekosistem penelitian dan inovasi yang progresif. ICRII 2024 diselenggarakan dengan moda hybrid, menggunakan kombinasi antara onsite dan virtual.

Pada konferensi internasional itu, Eka memaparkan artikel yang berjudul “Measuring the Effects of Empathy and Respect on Accounting Student Adaptability in Vocational High School Using Structural Equation Modeling” yang termasuk dalam kategori tema Innovative Approaches in Teaching and Learning. Artikel ini ditulis oleh Eka Ary Wibawa, M.Pd., Ani Widayati, M.Pd., Ed.D., dan Arif Rahman Hakim, M.Pd. Setelah memaparkan artikelnya, dilakukan konfirmasi tentang hasil riset melalui tanya jawab antara Eka dengan tiga orang pakar yang sudah disiapkan oleh panitia ICRII.

Hasil riset menemukan bahwa ada pengaruh positif empati terhadap respek, dan respek terhadap kemampuan beradaptasi siswa. Upaya pengembangan sikap empati pada siswa SMK dapat meningkatkan rasa hormat mereka, sehingga memperkuat hubungan sosial dan menciptakan suasana belajar yang lebih produktif. Kemudian sekolah perlu mendorong terciptanya lingkungan belajar yang saling menghormati supaya dapat meningkatkan kemampuan beradaptasi siswanya. Hal ini akan mendorong terciptanya peningkatan kualitas pendidikan. Di sisi lain, hasil riset ini menunjukkan bahwa ada pengaruh negatif empati terhadap kemampuan beradaptasi. Hal ini disinyalir terjadi karena empati yang berlebihan dapat meningkatkan stres dan beban kognitif sehingga menurunkan ketahanan seseorang dalam beradaptasi. (eka)
