Abstract

This study details the design, development, and evaluation of an Android-based personal finance management application tailored for young adults in higher education. Addressing unique financial challenges such as limited experience and fluctuating income, the application incorporates features like income tracking, expense monitoring, budgeting, and financial goal setting. Developed using the Waterfall model, the application includes secure login systems, intuitive transaction management, customizable goals, budget projections, and automated notifications to encourage financial discipline. Usability evaluations using a 5-point Likert scale with 50 users revealed an overall satisfaction score of 4.6/5, rated 'Excellent.' Users praised the intuitive design, accurate tracking, and motivational reminders, while also suggesting additional customization and deeper financial analysis for future updates. This study demonstrates the potential of targeted digital tools to foster financial literacy and resilience, offering evidence that personalized technology can significantly improve financial behaviors in young adults. Future research will explore enhanced customization and AI-driven features to further refine the application’s impact.

Abstract

This study explores the application of microteaching as an effective pedagogical strategy for teaching sequencing structures in programming through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) activities. Leveraging the Micro:bit platform, the research integrates hands-on learning with transdisciplinary problem-solving to enhance conceptual understanding among elementary students. The study involved a structured action research methodology, engaging two sixth-grade students in constructing and programming a Christmas tree model using LEDs and the Micro:bit environment. The findings highlight the significant role of microteaching in fostering engagement and comprehension, as students transitioned from foundational programming knowledge in Scratch to more advanced applications involving hardware. Despite challenges such as time constraints and difficulties in knowledge transfer, the approach demonstrated measurable improvements in students’ understanding of sequencing. These results underscore the potential of combining microteaching and STEAM methodologies to make abstract programming concepts accessible, engaging, and practical for young learners. Recommendations for future implementations include enhanced scaffolding, iterative learning opportunities, and extended session durations to address identified challenges and optimize outcomes.
