PENYULUHAN BIOKONVERSI LIMBAH ORGANIK MENGGUNAKAN MAGGOT BLACK SOLDIER FLY (BSF) DALAM MENINGKATKAN PENGETAHUAN DAN PENGEMBANGAN KETERAMPILAN KELOMPOK MUDA TANUBAYAN

Abstract

Pengelolaan limbah organik di Dusun Tanubayan belum dilakukan secara optimal, sedangkan anggota Kelompok Muda Tanubayan belum memperoleh penyuluhan mengenai teknologi biokonversi maggot Black Soldier Fly (BSF). Penelitian bertujuan menganalisis perbedaan pengetahuan peserta sebelum dan sesudah penyuluhan, mendeskripsikan tingkat keterampilan peserta, serta mengamati penerapan budidaya maggot BSF. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung data kualitatif. Sebanyak 30 dari 36 anggota kelompok dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, pre-test, post-test, daftar cek keterampilan, dan dokumentasi. Penyuluhan dilakukan melalui ceramah, diskusi, demonstrasi cara, praktik langsung, serta monitoring selama tiga minggu. Data pengetahuan dianalisis secara deskriptif dan menggunakan uji Wilcoxon Signed-Rank, sedangkan data keterampilan dianalisis menggunakan distribusi frekuensi dan persentase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata skor pengetahuan meningkat dari 5,77 atau 57,67% pada pre-test menjadi 7,87 atau 78,67% pada post-test. Sebanyak 28 peserta mengalami peningkatan nilai dan dua peserta memperoleh nilai tetap. Penilaian keterampilan menunjukkan bahwa 11 peserta atau 36,67% termasuk sangat terampil, 16 peserta atau 53,33% termasuk terampil, dan tiga peserta atau 10,00% termasuk cukup terampil. Monitoring memperlihatkan perubahan fisik maggot dari fase larva menuju prepupa dan pupa. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penyuluhan biokonversi maggot BSF dapat menjadi kegiatan edukatif untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan membentuk keterampilan dasar Kelompok Muda Tanubayan dalam memanfaatkan limbah organik.

The management of organic waste in Dusun Tanubayan has not been done optimally, while members of the Tanubayan Youth Group have not received education about Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot bioconversion technology. This study aims to analyze the differences in participants' knowledge before and after the training, describe the participants' skill levels, and observe the implementation of BSF maggot farming. The study used a quantitative approach supported by qualitative data. Out of 36 group members, 30 were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, pre-tests, post-tests, skill checklists, and documentation. The training was conducted through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and monitoring over three weeks. Knowledge data were analyzed descriptively and using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, while skill data were analyzed using frequency distribution and percentage. Knowledge data were analyzed descriptively and using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, while skill data were analyzed using frequency and percentage distribution. The results showed that the average knowledge score increased from 5.77 or 57.67% in the pre-test to 7.87 or 78.67% in the post-test. A total of 28 participants showed an increase in scores, and two participants had unchanged scores. Skill assessments showed that 11 participants or 36.67% were highly skilled, 16 participants or 53.33% were skilled, and three participants or 10.00% were moderately skilled. Monitoring showed the physical changes of maggots from the larva phase to prepupa and pupa. These results indicate that BSF maggot bioconversion training can serve as an educational activity to improve knowledge and develop basic skills for the Tanubayan Youth Group in utilizing organic waste.
