Pemberdayaan Generasi Muda Melalui Dokumentasi Digital untuk Pelestarian Sastra Lisan di Desa Maitara Utara

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to strengthen the pedagogical competence of German language
teachers through training in the development of learning modules based on deep learning integrated with
local Maluku culture and digital technology. The activity involved 19 German language teachers who were
members of the German Language Subject Teachers’ Association in West Seram Regency and was
conducted in three stages: online socialization, face-to-face training and module development practice, and
online mentoring. The needs assessment indicated that the teachers’ main needs involved connecting
learning materials with local culture, determining assessment strategies, aligning learning with the
curriculum, and developing meaningful learning experiences. The training guided teachers to translate deep
learning principles into learning objectives, activities, assessments, integration of local culture, and the use  of digital technology. The novelty of this activity lies in integrating deep learning, local Maluku culture, and
digital technology into German language learning module development through hands-on practice and
continuous mentoring. The activity produced learning modules that utilize Maluku cultural contexts as
learning resources and strengthened teachers’ capacity to develop contextual learning. These findings
recommend strengthening teacher learning communities and continuously developing locally based
teaching materials in language and education.
