Abstract

Community Service is one of the obligations of lecturers in the tri dharma of higher education. With the community service program, lecturers can apply their knowledge to help solve problems in society. As mandated by the Regulation of the Minister of Research, Technology, and Higher Education of the Republic of Indonesia Number 44 of 2015 concerning National Higher Education Standards, every university must be able to meet the National Standard of Community Service. To meet these standards, the research team has analyzed various factors (including the quality of proposals, collaboration with other parties, funding, community service implementing standards, and theories that build community service performance) that can describe community service productivity. The method used in this study is an interpretive method with a design thinking model and an inductive approach that starts with the data and tries to derive theories about exciting phenomena from the observed data. The results of the analysis show that: (1) community service outputs, which consist of publications in journals, proceedings, mass media, and intellectual property rights, have met the expected results, (2) the focus areas/targets of community service activities are more focused on teachers, training, education, learning, schools, villages, models, and development, (3) the standard of community service implementation has not shown ideal conditions, where the percentage of community service implementer still shows a small number, and (4) the standard of funding and financing is adequate, but still needs additional budget for increase the number of community service implementer. With the results of this analysis, it is necessary to determine the direction of policies related to outputs, focus areas of activity or targets, implementer, and funding to improve community service programs.
