Business and Management Training Using the Hybrid Method for the Management of the Merah Putih Cooperative in Denpasar City
Abstract
The Merah Putih Cooperative was a government program establishing village/sub-district cooperatives across Indonesia to strengthen the community economy. This training was motivated by the limited knowledge, understanding, and experience of some Merah Putih Cooperative administrators in business and management. Based on initial conditions, most Merah Putih Cooperatives in Denpasar City had been established, but not all of them were yet able to carry out operational activities optimally. The activity aimed to improve administrators’ knowledge of business and management and to introduce the use of digital technology in the learning process. The activity used a hybrid method that combined online learning via Zoom Meeting and the Padlet LMS with offline learning at the Denpasar City Cooperative and MSME Office. The activity was attended by Merah Putih Cooperative administrators in Denpasar City and was evaluated using a descriptive design by comparing pre-test and post-test results, assignment scores, attendance rate, and timeliness of assignment submission. The evaluation results showed an improvement in participants’ understanding of business and management material after the training. In addition, the assignment results showed that participants were able to apply part of the material in preparing cooperative business plans. The implementation of the activity also showed participants’ participation in online and offline learning, although the consistency of attendance and the timeliness of assignment submission still needed to be improved. Thus, the hybrid method could be an alternative in implementing capacity building programs for cooperative administrators through a combination of material delivery, independent learning, and practice.
