Abstract

Community service is an effort to disseminate knowledge to provide tangible impacts on improving the quality of life in society. This activity aims to analyze the effectiveness of motivational books in enhancing the learning motivation of children in remote indigenous communities in Concong District, Indragiri Hilir Regency. The method used was a literacy-based approach through the delivery of motivational materials and reading of motivational books using a pre-test and post-test design. The activity involved 30 children as participants. The results showed a significant increase in learning motivation, indicated by the rise in the average score from 58.7 to 78.3, or an increase of 33.4%. In addition, behavioral changes were observed, including increased reading interest, self-confidence, and enthusiasm for learning. This activity had a positive short-term impact on improving learning motivation and has the potential to create long-term impacts in building educational awareness and a culture of literacy within remote indigenous communities.
