Abstract

Mediation analysis has become an essential component for students in conducting quantitative research. This community service program aimed to enhance the quantitative methodology literacy of Indonesian PERMITHA students in Thailand. The activity was carried out on May 2–4, 2025 at Kasetsart University, Bangkok, with a total of 20 participants. The training consisted of several stages, including coordination with partners, module development, training sessions, mentoring, and evaluation. The implementation focused on delivering fundamental concepts of mediation, as well as interactive discussions. The results indicated that students were able to understand the distinction between direct and indirect effects. This program contributes to strengthening the research capacity of Indonesian students abroad and fosters international academic networking.
