Abstract

This study investigates students' experiences and challenges when presenting at international Islamic conferences, focusing on their confidence and self-expression. Using a qualitative case study design, two participants were selected through purposive sampling, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The results revealed that while students expressed enthusiasm for participating in these events, they faced several challenges, including time constraints, language barriers, and adapting to the expectations of diverse audiences. Confidence levels varied; some students felt reasonably confident, while others demonstrated higher self-assurance due to thorough preparation. The findings emphasize the importance of preparation, language proficiency, and cultural sensitivity when presenting at international academic forums, especially in Islamic forums. The study also highlights the need for academic institutions to provide better support to help students develop these critical skills. Future research could explore a broader range of participants and contexts and the long-term development of public speaking confidence in such settings.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengimplementasikan algoritma DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) untuk menganalisis pola sumber informasi yang memengaruhi keputusan calon mahasiswa di Politeknik Negeri Media Kreatif. Data survei periode 2022–2024, yang terdiri dari 13 variabel, diproses menggunakan normalisasi min-max. Parameter DBSCAN ditentukan dengan nilai Eps 0,4 dan MinPts 3. Hasil analisis menghasilkan tiga klaster, dengan Klaster 1 (media sosial, internet, dan rekomendasi teman/sahabat) memiliki rata-rata normalisasi tertinggi (0,87), menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan sebagai sumber informasi promosi. Validasi menggunakan Skor Silhouette (0,31) dan Indeks Davies-Bouldin (0,66) menunjukkan kualitas klasterisasi yang moderat. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa algoritma DBSCAN mampu menangani data heterogen dari variabel sumber informasi promosi dengan cukup efektif. Namun, optimalisasi lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kohesi intra-klaster dan pemisahan antar-klaster
