Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogis mahasiswa asisten laboratorium, khususnya keterampilan membimbing kelompok kecil dalam praktikum IPA. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 30–31 Juli 2026 di Laboratorium Biologi Dasar Universitas Sulawesi Barat dengan melibatkan 20 mahasiswa asisten laboratorium IPA. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendampingan partisipatif berbasis praktik melalui tahap penyampaian konsep, pemodelan, praktik terbimbing, simulasi, observasi, umpan balik, praktik perbaikan, dan refleksi. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan rubrik observasi keterampilan membimbing kelompok kecil serta lembar refleksi dan respons peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata skor keterampilan peserta meningkat dari 16,00 dari skor maksimum 36 pada asesmen awal menjadi 26,10 pada asesmen akhir, dengan peningkatan rata-rata sebesar 10,10 poin. Seluruh peserta mengalami peningkatan skor. Sebanyak 16 peserta atau 80% berada pada kategori mampu dan sangat mampu, sedangkan 4 peserta atau 20% berada pada kategori cukup mampu. Peningkatan terlihat pada seluruh indikator keterampilan. Kemampuan memfasilitasi diskusi dan memberikan bantuan atau scaffolding memperoleh skor akhir tertinggi, sedangkan kemampuan menggali pemikiran anggota kelompok masih memerlukan penguatan. Respons peserta terhadap kegiatan tergolong positif dengan rata-rata skor 3,55 dari skala 4. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa model pendampingan berbasis praktik dapat membantu meningkatkan kesiapan pedagogis mahasiswa asisten laboratorium dalam membimbing kelompok kecil secara lebih terarah dan reflektif.
