Abstract

The exponential growth of educational technologies has transformed the entire framework of higher education, making it highly adaptive through digitalization of traditional frameworks. This paper investigates the lived experiences of undergraduate students on the impact of digital technologies in enhancing the reach of education. Adopting a qualitative approach in the form of a case study, semi-structured interviews were carried out involving an equal number of six university students (3 male, 3 female). Thematic analysis reveals that digital learning and new age pedagogies provide unparalleled spatiotemporal flexibility, promote self-learning, and empower learners to access information globally. However, it is evident that some inherent structural barriers such as digital literacy differences, technological inconsistency, and infrastructural inequality continue to keep students disengaged from digitalization. It can be said that although digital modes help overcome geographical boundaries in education, a balanced approach between institutionality and digitization is required for equitable education.

Abstract

The pervasive adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems has recalibrated domestic security; however, this shift masks a profound structural instability where the allure of streamlined functionality often compromises security architecture robustness. Although scholarly discourse frequently addresses the psychological catalysts of technology adoption, there remains an intellectual neglect concerning the longitudinal reliability of these systems within real-world infrastructure. This study seeks to redress this oversight by interrogating the daily engagements of six homeowners with their interconnected security environments. By leveraging the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), we explore the socio-technical friction inherent in managing software-mediated protection. Our analysis exposes a fundamental paradox: while these systems offer enhanced surveillance, they remain tethered to fragile dependencies on power grids and network uptime. Empirical findings suggest that modern smart home architecture relies on a precarious "all-or-nothing" structure; power or connectivity fluctuations catalyze system-wide collapse, rendering the "security" provided null during infrastructural distress. These findings provide a trenchant indictment of current design philosophies. We argue that the sector must pivot from a fixation on aesthetic automation toward an engineering ethos predicated on autonomous edge-computing and redundant power-management, ultimately prioritizing structural resilience over the superficial convenience of connectivity.

Abstract

The development of technology requires electrical engineering students to have a deep understanding of electronic components. However, students often face conceptual and technical difficulties when dealing with complex active components. This study aims to examine in depth students' understanding and perceptions regarding the theory and application of electronic components. Using a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, data were gathered through structured interviews with electrical engineering students at Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya. The results showed a significant contrast in student comprehension; passive components like resistors are easily mastered due to their simple working principles. Conversely, active components such as Integrated Circuits (ICs) and transistors pose major challenges due to diverse pin structures, heat sensitivity, and practical troubleshooting issues in the laboratory. To address these difficulties, the integration of interactive and innovative learning media is highly required. Tools such as Tinkercad-based virtual simulations, digital modules, and project-based learning methods have proven effective in making abstract concepts more concrete, enhancing students' analytical skills, and preventing component damage during experiments
