The Undip Statistics Department PkM Team improved the Statistical and Financial Literacy of MTs Al-Asyhar Jamus Students (22/08/2026).
Digitalization of Statistics Learning
Introducing financial literacy to students is crucial. This aligns with educational programs from various related institutions. The committee began the event with registration and an opening ceremony. The lecturer then presented statistics material in a step-by-step and engaging manner.
The first session was titled “Data Around Us.” Ardiana Alifatus Sa’adah, S.Si., M.Si., delivered the material live. She also introduced the various forms of data around us. Data is crucial for obtaining information and making decisions.
Afterward, Dr. Triastuti Wuryandari, S.Si., M.Si., delivered the next topic. She addressed the topic of “Presenting Data.” In this session, students learned to create tables and graphs. This helped them understand how to present data information systematically.
Next, Diah Safitri, S.Si., M.Si., guided the material on “Measures of Central Statistics.” She invited students to understand the concepts of mean, median, and mode. As an example, the lecturer used a simple case close to the students’ daily lives. In short, Prajna Pramita Izati, S.Stat., M.Stat., also explained “Range and Variation of Data.” This session discussed the level of data diversity in an analysis.
Financial Applications in Real Life
The culminating topic covered “Financial Statistics in Life.” Sugito, S.Si., M.Si., was responsible for delivering this crucial session. This material directly connects statistical literacy and finance .
Therefore, students learn to utilize data for simple financial management. For example, lecturers teach them how to record daily income and expenses. Furthermore, students practice managing their pocket money and prioritizing their needs. The instructors even guide them in planning for future savings.
Ultimately, students realize the importance of data processing skills. This skill is the foundation for making wise financial decisions. In conclusion, statistics is more than just theoretical calculations learned in the classroom. Instead, it’s a practical science that’s incredibly useful for everyday life.
Through this Community Service Program, the Undip Statistics Department has high hopes. Undip aims to instill statistical, data, and financial literacy in the younger generation. Ultimately, this activity demonstrates Diponegoro University’s commitment to continuously contributing to improving the quality of education for the Indonesian people.
