Use Alternative Media to Improve Students' Literacy and Numeracy Skills One of the Merdeka Learning Campus Merdeka (MBKM) programs from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) is the Teaching Campus. The implementation of the Teaching Campus program has just been completed for Batch 5 which lasted for one semester (February-June 2023). Djuanda University is one of the universities participating in the Teaching Campus program in a number of schools, both elementary and junior high schools, spread across Bogor Regency and City. The Teaching Campus program aims to improve students' literacy and numeracy skills. The theme of Campus Teaching Batch 5 for the February-June 2023 period is "Igniting the Light of Joyful Education in an Independent Classroom". One of the Djuanda University (UNIDA) teams running the Teaching Campus program consists of students: Nur Fitriani Rachman, Shabrina Azzahra, and Ainur Ayu Maulina, with Field Supervisors (DPL): Drs. Gotfridus Goris Seran, M.Si. This UNIDA team carried out the Teaching Campus program at SDN Sukanegara 02, Jonggol District, Bogor Regency. Field Supervisor (DPL) Drs. Gotfridus Goris Seran, M.Si from the Faculty of Social, Political and Computer Sciences (FISIPKOM) UNIDA said that the Teaching Campus is an MBKM Program that provides opportunities for students to study off campus for one semester. In the Teaching Campus program, students become teacher partners to innovate in the development of creative and innovative learning strategies and models in target education units. The focus is on improving students' literacy and numeracy skills in the target schools. In the Teaching Campus program at SDN Sukanegara 02 Jonggol, Nur Fitriani Rachman, a student from Djuanda University, explained the learning activities carried out during one semester. The learning activities carried out focus on improving students' literacy skills. One of them is learning English with the approach of directly introducing the parts of the body and indirectly using flash cards that read the parts of the body in English. Shabrina Azzahra, a student from Djuanda University, implemented learning activities focusing on numeracy and literacy with an approach of giving emoticons and making collages. To improve students' learning ability, emoticons are used by giving rewards to students as a form of appreciation for their learning outcomes. Meanwhile, collage is made by utilizing grains and newspapers as a form of craft to bring up ideas and increase student creativity. Ainur Ayu Maulina, a student from Prof. Dr. Hamka Muhammadiyah University who is a member of the UNIDA Team, focuses on implementing activities to improve student numeracy, including learning fun math with learning media and math calculations using jarimatika. According to him, fun math with learning media is designed to change students' mindset that math is not as difficult as they think. While math calculations using jarimatika aim to facilitate students' skills in numeracy related to addition, subtraction and multiplication operations. In the implementation of the Teaching Campus program, the UNIDA Team designed and ran reading corner and literacy tree activities focused on improving students' literacy skills at SDN Sukanegara 02 Jonggol. According to the team, the reading corner that utilizes the corner of the school cooperative room can facilitate students to read the books provided. Meanwhile, the literacy tree shows a picture of a tree in the form of paper patches that are deliberately shaped like trees. Tim said that the results of reading in the reading corner are written on paper made in the form of leaves containing the name of the book, the main content of the book, and the name of the student who read, then displayed/pasted by students on the literacy tree. Every time students read, the results continue to be displayed on the literacy tree to determine the progress and development of students' literacy skills.
