Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the usability of a website-based learning platform for basic programming using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method. The platform is designed to help students understand fundamental concepts through interactive features such as structured materials, video explanations, practice questions, and visual illustrations of code execution. The usability evaluation employed a descriptive quantitative approach involving 28 respondents who used the platform and completed the SUS questionnaire. The analysis results show that the platform achieved an average SUS score of 75, which falls into the “Good” and “Acceptable” categories. However, there was notable score variation, with a minimum of 42.5 and a maximum of 100, and a standard deviation of 13.35. This suggests that while most users were satisfied, a minority faced challenges such as feature complexity and the need for additional guidance. Recommendations for improvement include simplifying navigation, enhancing interface consistency, and providing interactive tutorials to better support users.

Abstract

Mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression, represent significant challenges in today's fast-paced world. Traditional methods of diagnosing and managing these conditions often fall short, leading to a growing interest in leveraging technology for better mental health outcomes. This paper explored the potential of using machine learning algorithms applied to psychological symptom data to enhance the prognosis of mental disorders. A dataset comprising 120 psychology patients with 17 essential symptoms used to diagnose Mania Bipolar Disorder, Depressive Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, and non-disordered participants was analyzed. The study evaluated the performance of various machine learning models, including RandomForestClassifier, ExtraTreesClassifier, XGBClassifier, LGBMClassifier, and CatBoostClassifier, using metrics such as precision and recall. ExtraTreesClassifier achieved the highest test accuracy of 0.8889, followed by RandomForestClassifier and LGBMClassifier with 0.8611, CatBoostClassifier with 0.8333, and XGBClassifier with 0.7222. Key predictors of mental health outcomes included "Mood_Swing_YES," "Optimism," and "Sexual_Activity." These findings suggest that integrating psychological symptom data with machine learning significantly improves the accuracy of mental health disorder prognosis, offering a promising avenue for more proactive and personalized mental health care. This research demonstrates the practical applicability of machine learning for personalized early detection and intervention in mental healthcare.

Abstract

The development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology presents new challenges related to personal data protection. Among university students, the use of IoT devices is increasing, yet their understanding of privacy policies remains low. This study aims to analyze students’ understanding of IoT application privacy policies and their impact on personal data security. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing an online questionnaire filled out by student respondents. The data analysis results indicate that the proportion of students who rarely read privacy policies and have limited understanding of them is relatively high. Only 22.65% of respondents reported regularly reading privacy policies, 20.55% demonstrated an understanding of privacy policies, and 20.27% expressed concern about the misuse of personal data. These findings indicate that most students do not read IoT application privacy policies, resulting in a relatively low level of concern about potential data misuse. Therefore, more accessible and comprehensible privacy policies are necessary to improve privacy literacy and enhance user trust in IoT mobile applications. Clearer privacy policies and increased education on the importance of privacy are essential to improve digital literacy and strengthen user confidence.

Abstract

This reserach aims to examine the effectiveness of implementing the Project-Based Learning (PJBL) model in enhancing the students’ creativity at vocational high schools (SMK) with a Islamic Boarding School context system, specifically at SMKS Islam Pesantren Alam Indonesia. Vocational education, particularly within Islamic Boarding School context SMKS, often emphasizes the development of technical skills; however, the main challenge lies in how to also cultivate the students’ creativity. Using a quantitative approach with a descriptive quantitative design, this research explores the relationship between the implementation of the PJBL model and the enhancement of the students’ creativity. Data were collected through questionnaires that measured the students’ creativity across four main dimensions: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The results show that the implementation of the PJBL model has a significant impact on the students’ creativity at SMKS Islam Pesantren Alam Indonesia. Regression analysis revealed that each application of the PJBL model is estimated to increase the students’ creativity by 8.952 points. The t-test results also indicated a very low significance value (p < 0.05), confirming that the influence of the PJBL model on the students’ creativity is statistically significant. The most prominent dimension of creativity observed was fluency, followed by flexibility, originality, and elaboration—all of which fell within the "Good" category. This study reinforces the evidence that the PJBL model is effective in developing the students’ creativity, which is crucial for their competitiveness in an increasingly demanding job market. Additionally, this research is expected to provide new insights into curriculum development and more relevant teaching methods for Islamic Boarding School context vocational schools, as well as serve as a reference for educators and policymakers in designing more innovative and applicable learning strategies

Abstract

This research aims to propose an integrative model that combines the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Technology Task Fit Model (TTF), Information System features in state universities, and social motivation to understand the intentions of university students in continuing to use information systems. This research uses cross-sectional research. Cross-sectional is a research to study the dynamics of the correlation between risk factors and effects, using an observational, data collection or approach. With the participation of 70 students, the research results show that the integration of the TAM for adoption and the TTF model for utility provides a comprehensive understanding of behavior, where perceived usefulness and attitudes are crucial in continuance intention. Perceived usefulness is an important mediator of the influence of perceived ease of use, technological task suitability, reputation, social recognition, and social influence on continuance intention. In addition, factors such as perceived ease of use, task-technology fit, reputation, social recognition, and social influence play a significant role in predicting continuance intention. Results showed that personal technology fit, technology-task fit, and openness influenced perceived ease of use. However, perceived ease of use and social influence did not significantly impact attitudes, whereas technology and personal openness did not influence perceived usefulness.

Abstract

In an era of digital transformation, the integration of technology in education has become indispensable—especially in technical disciplines such as civil engineering. This study explores how students in the Civil Engineering and Planning program at Universitas Negeri Makassar perceive their competence within the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive design, a structured survey was administered to 75 students to assess their self-reported proficiency in the domains of technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge. The results indicate strong confidence in the use of technology for content comprehension and problem-solving, while moderate scores were observed in pedagogical and integrative dimensions of TPACK. These findings reveal both strengths and gaps in students’ readiness to apply TPACK holistically, highlighting the need for curriculum innovation that balances technical fluency with pedagogical strategy. The study extends the application of the TPACK framework beyond teacher education, offering insights for advancing instructional competence in engineering education. Recommendations for future research include triangulated methods, longitudinal studies, and cross-disciplinary comparisons to enrich understanding of TPACK adoption in higher technical education.
