Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the application of interactive learning media based on educational games in developing students' problem solving skills. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data was collected through structured interviews with teachers and students, as well as direct observation of learning activities in the classroom. The results showed that the application of educational games created a more interactive, challenging, and motivating learning atmosphere for students to think critically. During the learning process, students showed improvement in the ability to analyze problems, design alternative solutions, evaluate the results of decisions, and dare to take the initiative in solving various problem solving situations simulated through games. Teachers also noted the development of independent thinking, increased collaboration between students, and students' courage in expressing their opinions during the learning session. Educational games are proven to provide meaningful learning experiences through the application of the principles of constructivism, experiential learning, and gamification, which allow students to actively build understanding through direct involvement in problem solving. This research emphasizes that educational games have significant potential as interactive learning innovations that support the strengthening of problem solving competencies as one of the key skills in facing 21st century learning challenges

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examined the relationships of social media use and cybersecurity threats with depression, anxiety, and stress among university students in Manado, Indonesia. It also investigated whether perceived social support moderated the relationships between these digital stressors and the three dimensions of psychological distress. Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed with 300 university students in Manado, comprising 154 students from private universities and 146 from public universities. Participants were selected through random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. Main Findings: Social media use was positively associated with depression (β = 0.353, p < 0.001), anxiety (β = 0.305, p < 0.001), and stress (β = 0.353, p < 0.001). Cybersecurity threats were positively associated with depression (β = 0.144, p = 0.005), but not with anxiety or stress. Social support was negatively associated with all three outcomes and moderated the relationships between social media use and depression and stress. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study integrates social media use and cybersecurity threats within a single model while examining depression, anxiety, and stress as distinct psychological outcomes. The findings further demonstrate that the moderating role of social support is selective, occurring for depression and stress in relation to social media use but not for anxiety or cybersecurity-related pathways.
