The Choreographic Form of the Katrili Dance and Its Existence in Minahasa
The Choreographic Form of the Katrili Dance and Its Existence in Minahasa presents the structure or construct of the Katrili dance and illustrates its role and presence as a New Creative Dance in Minahasa. The purpose of this study is to document Indonesian artistic and cultural works. Through the existence of this choreographic form, the Minahasan community—especially schoolchildren and art students—can more easily perform the basic movements of regional dances found across Indonesia, and be encouraged to learn about and appreciate Indonesian culture as their own. This study is a qualitative inquiry using an Ethno-Art approach, which focuses on the concepts of role and existence. It aims to describe the choreographic structure of the dance by understanding cultural phenomena that reflect the awareness of the Minahasan people in relation to the role and presence of the Katrili dance as a New Creative Dance within Minahasan society. This approach allows the study to explore and answer two central research questions. Choreographically, the formulation outlines the following aspects: the basic movement patterns of the Katrili dance; the floor patterns or formations; the music used in the performance; and the costumes and makeup worn by the dancers. The choreography of the Katrili dance is presented as a group performance in pairs, using basic movements derived from modern social dances, particularly those with waltz rhythm and the “Caca” rhythm. This dance is typically performed by an odd number of male and female dancers, led by one individual who, in Minahasan tradition, is referred to as the "catapult" (or dance leader). The Katrili dance includes two types of steps: the Waltz (in 3/4 time) and the Gallop step (in 2/4 time), with commands delivered by the dance leader in French. The movement vocabulary employed is simple, serving as a symbolic representation of mutual respect. The existence of the Katrili dance plays a significant role in Minahasan society, functioning as a youth social dance, a cultural performance, and a symbol of cultural acculturation. As a social dance among youth, it represents the blending of local Minahasan traditions with European cultures, particularly Spanish and Portuguese. This dance is frequently performed at various social and cultural events, as well as at state inaugurations, formal ceremonies, and competitions. The Katrili dance holds deep meaning, symbolizing the loyalty and openness of the Minahasan people in welcoming guests. Philosophically, it represents mutual respect and conveys an ethical message within Indonesian society about maintaining unity and a sense of togetherness.

Psychoeducation to Improve Learning Motivation at SDN X Surakarta
Low learning motivation among elementary school students remains one of the major challenges in education, as it directly affects academic achievement, discipline, and character development. This issue is often reflected in students’ lack of focus, initiative, and active participation during learning activities. Such conditions require interventions that address not only cognitive but also affective and psychological aspects to foster intrinsic motivation. This community service program aimed to enhance students’ learning motivation at SDN X Surakarta through a psychoeducation intervention. The method consisted of four stages: problem identification, intervention design, implementation, and evaluation. Psychoeducation was chosen because it integrates educational and psychological principles through interactive activities that promote self-awareness, responsibility, and intrinsic motivation. The program was implemented on May 10, 2025, involving 36 students from grades 1 to 5. The 45-minute session included an opening, ice breaking, pre-test, delivery of psychoeducational material on the importance of learning, inspirational video viewing, interactive games, post-test, reward distribution, and closing. The effectiveness of the intervention was measured using pretest and posttest assessments based on the presented material to evaluate changes in students’ understanding of learning motivation. The results showed an increase in the average motivation score from 4.667 to 4.917 (p = 0.032), indicating a significant improvement after the intervention. These findings highlight the effectiveness of psychoeducation as a strategy to improve learning motivation among elementary students. More broadly, this program provides valuable implications for schools to integrate psychoeducational activities into learning policies and character development practices to create a more supportive, participatory, and psychologically empowering learning environment.
Principal Component of Protein-Dense Catfish-Tempeh Nuggets as a Local Stunting Intervention
Stunting remains a persistent nutritional challenge in Indonesia, requiring evidence-based, locally developed food interventions that are both nutritious and appealing to children. This study aimed to develop and assess “Nulte,” a catfish-tempeh nugget formulation, as a sustainable, protein-dense local food innovation to support stunting prevention. Three formulations with varying catfish-to-tempeh ratios (1:1, 2:1, and 1:2) were prepared using standardized community-based procedures. Each product underwent proximate composition testing following AOAC methods, and sensory evaluation using a 5-point hedonic scale by 30 untrained panelists (local mothers and children). Data were analyzed statistically using ANOVA, MANOVA, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify the optimal formulation. Formula 2 (2:1) achieved the highest protein content (15.33 g/100 g), the best sensory acceptance (overall 4.2 ± 0.4), and provided up to 76.65 % of daily protein needs for children aged 1–3 years, significantly outperforming other formulas in energy and taste (p < 0.05). PCA results indicated that Formula 2 showed the strongest clustering between nutritional quality and sensory preference dimensions.These findings demonstrate that Nulte nuggets effectively combine animal and plant proteins into a child-friendly, nutrient-dense product. Their simple preparation and use of locally available ingredients make them a promising scalable intervention for community-level stunting prevention in Indonesia.
