Pengabdian Berbasis Penelitian (Research Based Services): An Innovation of KKN (Community Service Program) of STAI DR KHEZ Muttaqien Purwakarta During Pandemic COVID-19

Abstract

This article was written based on the experience of implementing KKN STAI DR KHEZ Muttaqien Purwakarta, who had to make the process of adjusting his KKN implementation model due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The implementation of KKN or KPM which was initially carried out in groups in certain villages determined by the campus, was changed to a KKN program which was carried out based on individual students in their respective villages. This KKN implementation model was introduced under the name of Research-Based Service (PBP); which encourages the use of various action research methods carried out by students in identifying various problems that occur in the community, as well as establishing intervention programs that are carried out together with the community in the midst of the limited situation and lack of social mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of the learning outcomes obtained from the PBP model KPM report conducted by students show their adaptability to live with the community as well as their ability to apply their knowledge and skills from the lecture process to participate in finding solutions to problems they find in the community. However, this short duration program needs to think about its sustainability so that the campus continues to interact well with the community
