The impact of this pandemic has also been felt significantly by students, teachers and parents.
Kampus Mengajar is teaching and learning activities in schools as part of the Independent Learning Campus Policy (MBKM) initiated by the Minister of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia. At this time, the Teaching Campus Program has produced five batches, namely the Pioneering Kampus Mengajar, Kampus Mengajar Batch 1, Kampus Mengajar Batch 2, Kampus Mengajar Batch 3, and Kampus Mengajar Batch 4. With the continuation of this program, it is hoped that this program will have a major impact on the world of education. specifically in the field of literacy and numeracy for target schools.

It is hoped that the struggle, contribution, innovation, and enthusiasm of students will bring significant changes to the world of Indonesian education in the future.
The research object is located at Dhaniswara Middle School Surabaya, which is located at Jalan Kalidami No. 14-16, Mojo, Gubeng District, Surabaya City, East Java. In the initial observation, the activities carried out were observing the environment around the target school. Apart from environmental conditions, students also make observations on aspects of the school profile, teaching aspects, aspects of technology adaptation, and aspects of school administration.
Teaching and learning activities (KBM) at SMP Dhaniswara Surabaya in the odd semester of 2022/2023 are carried out face-to-face using the revised 2013 curriculum. This target school has not fully implemented the independent curriculum policy or the emergency curriculum policy because educators still need time to adapt to the distance learning policy (PJJ) through media zoom which was implemented during the pandemic. In addition, the lack of teaching staff and the difficulty of adapting to technology means that the independent curriculum policy cannot be directly used in these target schools. Schools also during the pandemic conducted evaluations regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of distance learning (PJJ) policies on students and got unsatisfactory results so schools were very careful and made adjustments to the needs of students regarding the Independent Curriculum Policy.
In the aspect of technological adaptation, the school has several obstacles, namely first, not all of them have adequate equipment because the majority of students' families are in the lower middle class; second, there are no teaching staff (HR) with a background in computer education in assisting schools in adapting technology for both teachers and students; third, in the Revised 2013 Curriculum there is the elimination of information technology (IT) subjects so that schools do not have teaching staff (HR) with a background in computer education; fourth, in the Revised 2013 Curriculum there is a policy that educators (HR) who teach computers must have a computer education background.
In terms of school administration and teachers, the school has several constraints and limitations on human resources (HR) in its implementation. The obstacles experienced in these target schools were the school entrepreneurship program, the implementation of a computer-based national assessment (ANBK), and school website improvements. Therefore, topics related to Kampus Mengajar, forms of student direct service in the world of education? interesting to discuss in more depth.

- Teach
The implementation of learning activities and collaboration with subject teachers is carried out for approximately four months during the assignment period. The implementation of learning activities begins with student self-introduction to all Dhaniswara Middle School students in Surabaya. The material used by students during learning activities comes from textbooks and worksheets that have been provided by the school. However, during the process of learning activities students try to lead to efforts to increase literacy and numeracy in every learning activity in class.
The implementation of learning activities is carried out using various methods such as playing games, watching movies, doing practices (projects), utilizing technology, getting to know art, and others. This method uses media and materials that have been adapted to the existing class facilities and conditions.
In the early stages of learning activities, students still provide assistance in groups for about two weeks after the start of the jump to the target school. This decision was taken so that students could adapt to get to know and know the conditions of each student in the target school.
Implementation of learning activities in grades 7, 8 and 9 is to assist and collaborate with subject teachers in teaching in class. Students accompany teaching and learning activities in class according to the time and opportunity given by the teacher concerned or replace if unable to attend. Students in carrying out learning activities in class have implemented the revised 2013 curriculum concept and independent curriculum, where students in each learning activity always encourage students to actively discuss and study independently. In addition, students also do game-based learning, watch movies, get to know art and do projects so that students receive learning material more interactive and fun.

- Assisting Technology Adaptation
Implementation of technology adaptation in target schools aims to provide knowledge transfer for both teachers and students in the use of technology during the process of teaching and learning activities. Technology adaptation activities in target schools for students in grades 7, 8 and 9 are carried out by compiling information technology training work programs.
This information technology training work program aims to introduce the basics of computers, introduce the basics of Microsoft Word, and introduce the basics of Microsoft Excel.

- Teach
Based on the results of the implementation of the program that has been carried out by students during the assignment period. The results obtained are that students in the target school are very enthusiastic and easily absorb learning material with various methods that have been given by previous students. At home. This cannot be separated from the influences, conditions, struggles, constraints, and support of the students' families while carrying out their education in the target schools.
Students during the assignment period not only help students in improving literacy and numeracy skills or academic abilities, but students also help in terms of strengthening the Pancasila character and becoming peer counselors. Students are always taught to understand religious values, manners, and discipline. This can be the beginning of changes in student character in the future.
The work program plans that have been prepared and implemented by students while teaching at SMP Dhaniswara Surabaya have had quite a good impact on an innovative and fun learning culture. However, in terms of increasing literacy and numeracy, the target schools have not experienced significant changes.

- 2)
- Assisting Technology Adaptation
Based on the results of the implementation of the program that has been carried out by students during the assignment period. The results obtained were that the technological adaptation provided to target schools in the form of information technology training was very effective in helping students take part in the implementation of the minimum competency assessment (AKM) and the computer-based national assessment (ANBK). This difference was felt by students when they first carried out a minimum competency assessment (AKM) simulation because during the pandemic, students did not do learning or practice in computer laboratories. During the simulation, all students experienced confusion with the features and parts of the computer, however, gradually with frequent practice and the presence of IT training work programs, it finally made students confident and able to take the test well.
In the IT training work program students who are very enthusiastic and can follow the learning well and quickly are in grade 7 while grades 8 and grade 9 are less interested because they have received the compiled curriculum when they were in elementary school. However, along with the practice and implementation of IT training work programs, it has brought significant changes for students in the use of information technology.
