Abstract

This study aims to describe: 1) the benefits of PowerPoint media in learning to write popular scientific articles; 2) the effectiveness of PowerPoint media in improving students' understanding of popular scientific articles; 3) the impact of using PowerPoint on students' interest and involvement in the learning process of writing popular scientific articles. The research activities were carried out in the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year by applying a qualitative descriptive approach. The subjects of this study were all eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 27 Medan. An Indonesian language teacher acted as the main informant. Research data were collected using two non-test instruments, namely simple observation guidelines and semi-structured interview guidelines. The observation guidelines were used for observation activities to obtain data on the use of PowerPoint media in learning to write popular scientific articles, data on the effectiveness of PowerPoint media in improving students' understanding of popular scientific articles, and data on the impact of using PowerPoint on students' interest and involvement in the learning process of writing popular scientific articles. Semi-structured interviews were used to obtain validation data for the observation guideline instrument. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings show: 1) PowerPoint media is useful because teachers can easily clarify the structure of popular scientific articles by visualizing elements such as titles, leads, body paragraphs, and conclusions systematically so that they are easily accepted by students; 2) PowerPoint media is effective in increasing students' understanding of popular scientific articles; 3) the use of PowerPoint has an impact on students' interest and involvement in the learning process of writing popular scientific articles.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed various aspects of life, including education. AI is increasingly utilized in academic activities, such as information retrieval, assignment preparation, and data analysis. However, the level of understanding and application among students varies. This study aims to explore the extent of students’ comprehension and utilization of AI, as well as their perceptions of its impact. This research is based on the theory of technology adoption and digital literacy, which highlight factors influencing the acceptance and use of new technologies in academic settings. A quantitative survey method was employed, involving 36 students from various universities in Indonesia as respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire comprising nine questions related to students’ understanding, usage, benefits, and concerns about AI. The findings indicate that 48.3% of respondents agreed and 34.4% strongly agreed that AI provides significant benefits in daily life, particularly in searching for references, preparing reports, and analyzing data. However, 13.8% remained neutral about AI’s benefits. Additionally, students from technology-based majors use AI more frequently than those from non-technology majors. While AI is considered helpful, 34.5% of respondents expressed concerns that AI could replace human jobs, whereas 44.8% were worried about potential AI misuse in data security and privacy. These results suggest that while AI is widely accepted in academic settings, there is still a need for further education on its ethical and responsible use. A total of 37.9% of students expressed interest in attending AI training programs to enhance their understanding. Therefore, systematic efforts from educational institutions are required to provide comprehensive AI literacy programs, enabling students to utilize this technology optimally and responsibly in the digital era.
