Microsoft Office Training to Support Digital Learning Skills of MI Al-Islamiyah Students

Abstract

Abstract— This community service program aimed to support and improve the digital learning skills of students at MI Al-Islamiyah through structured Microsoft Office training. The training focused on basic competencies in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint to help students complete school assignments more effectively, organize simple data, and present learning outcomes in a clear and attractive format. The program was implemented through a combination of short lectures, guided demonstrations, hands-on practice, and individual mentoring. Training effectiveness was assessed using observation during practice sessions and a simple pre-test and post-test to measure changes in participants’ understanding and skills. The results indicated an improvement in students’ ability to create and format documents, use basic formulas and tables in spreadsheets, and design presentation slides. Students also showed increased confidence and motivation to use digital tools for learning activities. Overall, the program contributed positively to strengthening students’ foundational digital literacy and can be replicated in similar elementary-level educational settings with adjustments to participants’ initial skill levels and available facilities.
