Abstract

Learning motivation as a part of learning process needs to be scrutinized by reason of it could trigger the students to achieve their learning performance successfully. There are no specific studies about students’ perception towards Edubox as a kind of computer-based testing (CBT) and its impact to the students’ English learning motivation. This study is intended to examine the relationship between students’ perception about the use of Edubox as an assessment tool with their English learning motivation. Mixed methods are conducted to get more meaningful findings. Data collection is conducted through administering English test using Edubox, observation, questionnaires, and focused group discussion (FGD) as the primary data. Inferential statistics: T-test and Pearson correlation test are used to analyse quantitative data. While, the FGD result are analysed using Spreadly domain analysis method. 253 of 843 total populations are selected as the sample of the study utilizing stratified sampling. They take English test using Edubox, and are given questionnaires as well. Observation is done simultaneously by means of video recorders from smart phones during the English test administration. 30 students are chosen purposively to participate in FGD session. This study found that the majority of participants have negative perception towards the implementation of Edubox as the means to evaluate their performance in English; most specifically due to technical problems they encountered before and during the test. It is represented by the result of correlational test where r-value = 0,550 and t-test p-value is lower than alpha 0,000<0,05. This mean that the relation between students' English score of PBT and that of English score of CBT was significant. Ultimately, it is recommended to conduct preliminary study prior to implementing Edubox in any educational settings and to put extra efforts in minimizing technical factors that have influenced students’ perception towards Edubox negatively. Keywords: Edubox; students’ perception; English learning motivation; English learning performance

Abstract

Kurungkambing Village, located in Mandalawangi District, Banten, has significant local potential that remains underutilized due to the lack of structured data and limited village planning capacity. The gap between local resource mapping and strategic planning poses a major challenge in achieving sustainable development. To address this issue, the Community Service Program (PkM) of Universitas Terbuka was designed to strengthen the capacity of village officials through training and mentoring in village potential mapping based on village planning worksheets. This approach follows four key stages: input, process, output, and impact, aimed at establishing a more systematic, data-driven, and sustainable village development plan. The PkM activities include field surveys, socialization, technical training, mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. The primary objective of this program is to develop a village potential database as a foundation for formulating more accurate policies and development strategies. Village officials can create more effective and strategic data-driven policies with this database. The program's sustainability requires synergy between academics, local government, and the village community to ensure data-driven development that enhances community welfare.Keywords: database, planning capacity, strategic planning, sustainable development, village potential. Abstrak: Desa Kurungkambing, Kecamatan Mandalawangi, Banten, memiliki potensi lokal yang belum optimal karena keterbatasan data terstruktur dan kapasitas perencanaan desa.

Abstract

In the field of tourism, English serves as a global language of communication between tour guides and international tourists, as well as in relation to tourist attractions, culture, history, food, beverages, accommodations, transportation, souvenirs, services, and many other aspects. The needs analysis/assessment requires the synchronization of the demand (tourism users) and supply (English for tourism). In the Indonesian context, there has been an increasing market demand from the tourism sector for higher education institutions to provide their best graduates with relevant and aligned skills. This study investigates the industry's needs for English in the context of hotel and tourism courses. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, using both quantitative data from surveys and qualitative data from interviews. The results indicate that ten out of twelve topics in the English for Hotel and Tourism book of the English Education program at Universitas Terbuka are relevant to the respondents' occupations/industries. However, two topics were deemed by most respondents to be irrelevant to their jobs. For improvement, this study recommends that these two irrelevant topics be altered or modified.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the Integrated ASN (State Civil Apparatus) Management System, SIMASTER (Integrated ASN Management Information System), on the discipline and performance of civil servants in the Regional Government of Bungo Regency, Indonesia. Using a quantitative survey, data were collected from 98 respondents out of a population of 4000 civil servants and analyzed with simple linear regression (SPSS 22). The results show that SIMASTER has a significant impact on discipline (R² = 0.685) and performance (R² = 0.502), while discipline itself has a strong influence on performance (R² = 0.726). Simultaneously, SIMASTER contributed 33% to improvements in both discipline and performance, with the remaining 67% attributed to other factors, including motivation, leadership, and organizational culture. These findings highlight that work discipline is the most dominant factor in shaping civil servant performance. The study concludes that SIMASTER plays a crucial role in promoting accountability and professionalism among civil servants; however, its effectiveness requires reinforcement through training, digital literacy support, and integration with performance-based reward systems.
