Abstract

The difference in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) between the 3T (frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged) regions poses an enormous challenge towards achieving equitable quality education, particularly in practice-based Physical Education (PJ) subjects. Remote island districts such as Tual City, Maluku Province, face severe issues regarding infrastructure, internet access, and teacher professional development. The aim of this study is to study the integration of ICT and identify the challenges faced by elementary school distance learning teachers in Tual City. Descriptive qualitative research was conducted, data collected through class observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation of 13 distance learning teachers. The results revealed that 69.2% of the participants had a good idea of ICT, while 30.8% of them had limited knowledge. Although all the participants agreed that ICT can be utilized in learning, a significant disparity was found between classroom practice and self-reported use. Instructional videos, laptops, and PowerPoint were quoted most often, but actual implementation is still in its infancy. Significant obstacles are internal in nature such as low digital literacy and teacher motivation and external such as poor policy support, limited school infrastructure, and poor internet connectivity. The study recommends context-specific ICT education, constructing digital infrastructure, and adaptive policy to support teachers in remote areas. The study contributes theoretically by identifying the application of ICT in less researched practice-based fields, and contributes to policy for the promotion of technology implementation in 3T (third-to-third) territories

Abstract

The startup sector's emphasis on the educational technology industry in Indonesia expanded, particularly during the pandemic. However, many educational technology players went bankrupt because they could not make their users reuse their products and services (continuance intention). This study aimed to analyze the influence of e-experience on continuance intention in the use of educational technology platforms, with e-trust and e-satisfaction as mediating variables. A quantitative method with a PLS-SEM approach was used to test the relationships between variables. Data were gathered from 300 respondents using a questionnaire as the research instrument. The respondents in this study were individuals utilizing educational technology, including students, teachers, and employees seeking skill enhancement. The data were analyzed using SmartPLS. The research results showed that e-experience had a direct influence on continuance intention, but its impact was relatively small. E-trust and e-satisfaction proved to be significant mediators in strengthening this relationship. E-Satisfaction had a stronger mediating influence compared to e-trust, affirming that user satisfaction was a key factor in driving the sustainability of educational technology usage. Moreover, the indirect effects through mediators were greater than the direct effects, indicating that user experience should be developed into trust and satisfaction to enhance user retention.

Abstract

The learning of students about abstract physics concepts faces multiple hurdles, which can result in misconceptions. Considering this problem, the present research intends to analyze students' misconception changes through a diagnostic tool based on the issue of renewable energy using the Rasch analysis methods. The Renewable Energy Topic Diagnostic Instrument (DITRET) was created with the ADDIE development model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects of the study were 30 high school students aged 17 years (9 boys and 21 girls). DITRET has 20 components with four hierarchical stages for each item. During the analysis stage, students’ responses are classified into categories, and conceptual scores are then computed in the Rasch framework. The results showed that DITRET has strong reliability and validity in estimating students’ understanding of renewable energy. With some minor adjustments, this instrument can identify students’ conceptual changes and diagnose misconceptions on other physics topics. The research findings enhance the available literature, providing valid and reliable tools to measure, detect, and resolve misconceptions in the concept of renewable energy

Abstract

The rapid evolution of workforce demands necessitates competency-adaptive assessments that align education with industry standards. Traditional methods, often static and norm-referenced, fail to address the dynamic skills required in creative disciplines like photography. This study developed a Competence-Adaptive Assessment (CAA) integrating Item Response Theory (IRT)  to enhance validity, and reliability in a photography course. A mixed-methods design was employed, involving 120 undergraduate photography students and six instructors in a 12-week quasi-experimental study. Quantitative results demonstrated significant learning gains (effect size d = 1.12), improved certification pass rates (24% increase), and enhanced technical competencies, particularly in lighting mastery. Qualitative findings revealed that adaptive feedback and personalized pathways increased engagement but also highlighted tensions between automated assessment and creative evaluation. The study contributes a scalable framework for competency-based education in creative fields, though it underscores the need to balance technical precision with artistic freedom. Implications include the potential for CAA to modernize vocational assessments while calling for further refinement to address creative subjectivity

Abstract

Automated Essay Scoring (AES) is a computer-based scoring system that uses appropriate features to automatically assess or give feedback to students, by combining the power of Artificial Intelligence and natural language processing (NLP) to provide convenience and benefits for evaluators. This study aims to analyze the most effective algorithmic models in evaluating the accuracy and reliability of the Automated Essay Scoring (AES) system, especially in the context of Islamic religious education assessment, as well as examine its advantages and disadvantages in supporting objective and efficient learning evaluation. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by following the PRISMA protocol. A total of 31 relevant articles published in the period 2020 to 2025 from the Scopus and Springer databases were analyzed to evaluate the use and effectiveness of algorithms in the development of AES systems. The results show that transformer-based models, specifically BERT, are the most effective algorithms in current AES implementations. BERT excels because of its ability to understand bidirectional context and semantic depth in text. These models generate accurate scores and can provide automated feedback that is close to the quality of human judgment. However, the use of BERT requires large training data and high computing resources. While BERT demands substantial data and computing power, its application in Islamic education highlights the potential of AES to support more objective, consistent, and scalable assessment of students’ essays

Abstract

In fashion practicums, lecturers generally use learning media for students to help them quickly grasp the material being explained. However, the role of the chosen learning media is often overlooked. Furthermore, this study examined the roles of video tutorials and technical illustrations with images used by fashion students in sewing practicum courses, focusing particularly on the operation of four-thread overlock machines. With a case study and qualitative approach, the researchers explored in-depth data by conducting interviews with fifteen fashion students and observing them operating four-thread overlock machines during the sewing practicum course at the university. Using a thematic analysis, this study found that video tutorials effectively contribute specifically to the learning of fashion students with visual learning styles. On the other hand, technical illustrations with images are effective in facilitating the learning of fashion students with auditory learning styles. In conclusion, lecturers should consider the characteristics of their students when providing learning media, so that those media can be tailored to help achieve learning objectives optimally and facilitate the understanding of media users more efficiently
