This study investigates how community-like compaction practices affect density, porosity, and compressive strength of normal concrete across different workability levels. A factorial laboratory experiment (4 compaction methods × 3 slump targets) was conducted using 150×300 mm cylinders (n=72; six replicates per group). Concrete was proportioned to SNI 03-2834-2000; control compaction followed SNI 2493:2011; 28-day strength was tested per SNI 1974:2011; porosity was measured using an ASTM C642-based procedure. Slump was set at 5, 7, and 11 cm by varying water content. Fresh mass decreased as compaction became less effective, indicating lower achieved density and greater entrapped air: compared with SK, hammer vibration (SH) and no compaction (SP) were ~7–9% lighter. Porosity increased markedly under inadequate compaction, with SP reaching 22.36–26.81% versus 10.16–14.22% for SK. Compressive strength followed the same ordering: SK achieved 18.99–22.94 MPa, while SH and SP dropped to 9.90–13.93 MPa and 8.49–13.35 MPa, respectively, with losses up to ~58% relative to SK depending on slump. Overall, slump alone did not guarantee performance when compaction was poor. Rodding (SR) provided intermediate results, maintaining mass close to SK and limiting strength loss compared with SH/SP. An inverse porosity–strength relationship was observed across slumps.

This study examined the effectiveness of video tutorial–based learning media in improving students’ mastery of horizontal-position Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) in a technical and vocational education and training (TVET) context. The study responded to the limited evidence on position-specific digital instructional media in welding education, particularly for horizontal-position SMAW practice, which requires precise control of movement, angle, and bead formation. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed involving 30 Grade XI students in the Mechanical Engineering program at SMKN 1 Sumatera Barat. Data were collected using a validated 30-item performance assessment covering preparation, process, and final weld quality, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test in IBM SPSS Statistics. The results showed a substantial improvement in students’ performance after the intervention. The mean score increased from 47.57 in the pre-test to 81.70 in the post-test, with a mean gain of 34.13 points. The paired-samples t-test revealed a statistically significant difference, t(29) = 15.25, p < 0.001, and the effect size was very large (d = 2.78). These findings indicate that video tutorial–based media can serve as an effective, low-cost, and scalable instructional tool for procedural welding skills. The study contributes to digital pedagogy in TVET by highlighting the importance of pedagogical fit in technology-supported practical instruction.

This study investigates how geometric configuration and reference-point distance affect the accuracy of resection in student surveying calculations, using RTK GNSS coordinates as the reference benchmark. Although resection remains a fundamental method in surveying education and practice, its accuracy is highly sensitive to network geometry and field setup quality, while empirical evidence from student calculation contexts remains limited. To address this gap, the study employed an empirical accuracy-assessment design based on campus field-practicum data generated by student teams using total station observations and RTK GNSS control coordinates. The analysis compared resection-derived and RTK-based coordinates through component-wise discrepancies and horizontal positional error and then interpreted the results in relation to the geometric properties of each resection configuration. The findings show that most observed configurations produced relatively small horizontal errors, indicating that resection can yield acceptable station coordinates in educational field settings. However, accuracy varied considerably across cases. Configurations characterized by balanced point distribution, moderate station angles, and proportionate reference-point distances generally produced more reliable results, whereas stretched or near-collinear configurations were associated with weaker accuracy. At the same time, the results indicate that favorable geometry alone does not guarantee strong performance, because observational execution also remains influential. The study contributes to surveying education by reframing resection as an empirical accuracy problem shaped by both geometric design and field practice.
