Abstract

In higher education, especially science and biology, digital technology in project-based learning (PjBL) environments has improved student engagement and learning outcomes. technological, AI, and lecturer assistance have been studied in PjBL, but few have used Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to analyze the complicated interactions between technological acceptance variables and student engagement. ANN is used to predict students' attitudes toward technology (ATT), intention to use technology (INT), actual use of technology in PjBL (AU-PjBL), and student engagement (SE) based on PEOU, PU, and Lecturer Support. Biology education students at Universitas Jambi completed a 35-item Likert-scale questionnaire. We created four ANN models: Model A (PU, PEOU → ATT), Model B (PU, ATT → INT), Model C (INT, LS → AU-PjBL), and Model D (AU-PjBL, LS → Each model was trained and tested using ten network configurations. Model performance was assessed using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and input variable relevance was determined via sensitivity analysis. All ANN models have low RMSE values for training and testing datasets, indicating good predicting accuracy. According to sensitivity analysis, PU predicts ATT better than PEOU, ATT predicts INT better than PU, INT predicts AU-PjBL better than LS, and AU-PjBL predicts SE better than LS. These data emphasize that students' perceived utility, positive attitudes, intention, and technology use drive biology PjBL involvement. The paper highlights ANN as a powerful analytical tool for modeling non-linear and interdependent relationships in technology-enhanced PjBL and gives practical implications for developing meaningful technology use and engagement learning environments. Keywords: Artifical neural network; actual use of technology; lecturer support; project-based learning; biology education.

Abstract

Advancements in digital technology have reshaped learning across disciplines, including sport education. Yet, the success of digital integration depends not only on students’ technological skills but also on psychological and social factors such as self-efficacy and parental support. This study examines how digital competence, self-efficacy, parental support, and information evaluation strategies jointly affect students’ learning performance in sport education programs. A quantitative survey was conducted with 304 sport education students from Jambi University, Sriwijaya University, and Medan State University. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4.0.9.9. Reliability and validity were tested using composite reliability, AVE, and discriminant validity, while model predictive power was assessed through R² and Q² values. All hypothesized relationships were significant. Parental support had the strongest effect on self-efficacy (β = 0.756, p < 0.001) and digital competence (β = 0.746, p < 0.001), which subsequently enhanced information evaluation and learning outcomes (R² = 0.653; Q² > 0.30). Self-efficacy and digital competence also positively affected information evaluation and academic performance, emphasizing that parental motivation fosters confidence and digital readiness essential for effective sport learning. Students’ success in sport education depends on the synergy between technological proficiency, psychological empowerment, and family engagement. Strengthening digital competence alone is inadequate without developing self-efficacy and parental involvement. Hence, educators and policymakers should promote sport education programs that combine digital literacy, reflective thinking, and family collaboration to cultivate confident, adaptive, and high-performing learners in the digital era.  Keywords: Sport Education; Digital Competence; Self-Efficacy; Parental Support; Students’ Performance; Higher Education
