Abstract

Purpose – Grade-oriented learning in Indonesian secondary education hinders deep conceptual understanding, as reflected in declining PISA scores. This study examines the potential of AI-based formative assessment (ChatGPT-Padlet) to support improvement in students’ conceptual understanding and a shift in their orientation from a focus on grades to a focus on process. Design/methodology/approach – This single-cycle classroom intervention, drawing on classroom-action-research procedures, involved 33 tenth-grade students in Project-Based Learning supported by a layered feedback system (AI, peers, and teachers). Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, Likert-scale attitude surveys, peer assessments, and qualitative reflections. Findings – The intervention produced a statistically significant improvement in conceptual understanding scores (Δ = 9.09 points; Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, Z = -1.93, p = 0.045, r = 0.34; paired t-test reported as a robustness check, p = 0.026) and a non-significant descriptive decrease in competitive orientation (Δ = -0.3; Wilcoxon p = 0.32), while process focus remained stable in mean (M = 3.5, Wilcoxon p = 0.77) with increased variability. Qualitative analysis showed that 67% of students could articulate internet concepts, and 58% showed indications of transfer of knowledge to practical decision-making in their self-reported reflections. Research implications/limitations –  The layered feedback ecosystem may offer a scalable approach to formative assessment in high teacher-student-ratio contexts, though this potential was not directly measured, and the single-cycle, short-duration design limits causal and longitudinal conclusions; further research requires longitudinal testing and more comprehensive deep learning metrics. Originality/value – This study offers an early empirical operationalization of process-oriented educational philosophy through an AI-peer-teacher triadic feedback model within the Indonesian Independent Curriculum context.

Abstract

Purpose – Early diagnosis of koi fish diseases remains constrained by limited expert availability and the dominance of static rule-based expert systems that are less adaptive to new cases. This study aims to develop a practitioner-informed Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) screening prototype for six koi fish disease categories using positive-evidence weighted symptom similarity. Design/methods/approach – This research used a Research and Development design involving knowledge acquisition from two koi cultivator practitioner-experts, representation of 15 clinical symptoms, and the Retrieve-Reuse-Revise-Retain cycle. The web-based system was implemented using CodeIgniter 4, PHP 8.0, and MySQL 8.0. Similarity used positive-evidence weighted Jaccard with an insufficient-evidence gate (Σsi < 2). Evaluation comprised a preliminary usability test with 15 respondents and robustness testing on 500 synthetic base profiles transformed under six disturbance scenarios. Findings – Under KB-v2 with positive-evidence similarity, the illustrative case ranked Cloudy Eye at 69.6% while Fin/Tail Rot scored 0.0% (no shared-absence inflation). On the pooled legacy set, overall accuracy was 65.0% (97.3% among scored cases), weighted F1-score was 0.76, 33.2% of cases returned insufficient evidence, and 5.4% of scored cases were ambiguous. The usability test yielded 57.7% Good, 37.7% Fair, and 4.4% Poor item responses. Research implications/limitations – The evaluation used synthetic data generated from the same practitioner knowledge matrix and has not been validated by aquatic veterinarians or real clinical field cases. Originality/value – The study contributes positive-evidence weighted similarity with an insufficient-evidence gate, a governed retain pathway for expert-confirmed cases, and robustness testing with decision-safety metrics under incomplete and noisy inputs.

Abstract

Purpose – Wind power estimation is critical for grid stability. This study tests whether Bayesian-tuned gradient boosting, using a leakage-safe pipeline, can estimate turbine power without the Theoretical Power Curve (TPC), benchmarked against LSTM. Design/methods/approach – The study uses Esenkoy SCADA and 2018 MERRA-2 weather data (8,760 hourly observations), split before any transformation; outlier bounds are fitted on training data only, and this dataset needed no imputation. TPC is excluded as a redundant, deterministic function of wind speed. Four gradient boosting models are tuned via Optuna-TPE with 5-fold CV; an LSTM uses identical features and evaluation. Findings – LightGBM has the lowest full-test RMSE (364.17 kW), but CatBoost (385.88 kW) has significantly lower median error (p<0.0001); metrics disagree on the best model, and LightGBM shows a markedly larger train-test gap, consistent with overfitting. CatBoost and GBM outperform LSTM on normal-operation data (p<0.05), while AdaBoost and LightGBM do not. Permutation importance shows wind speed drives over 87% of predictive signal despite differing built-in measures. CatBoost beats LSTM by 18.3% NRMSE on normal-operation data, narrowing to 2.3-9.6% on full data. A seven-seed check confirms these full-test and normal-operation advantages, though intervals overlap. Research implications/limitations – Data cover 2018 at one Turkish site, limiting generalizability; a random split misses temporal shifts, and 50 trials may not fully explore hyperparameter space. Originality/value – This leakage-safe SCADA pipeline shows gradient boosting modestly but significantly outperforms LSTM, with gains depending on abnormal-condition inclusion. Future work should apply temporal cross-validation, test more sites, and tune LSTM more rigorously.

Abstract

Purpose – This research compares publication trends, citation patterns, scientific productivity, and thematic structures in digital surveillance and academic social networking research, while examining how structurally similar data-driven infrastructures generate largely involuntary surveillance but strategically pursued academic visibility. Design/method/approach – Bibliographic data covering sixteen publication years (2010–2025) were retrieved from Scopus through searches of titles, abstracts, and keywords, yielding 2,595 digital surveillance documents and 4,975 academic social networking documents. Scopus Analyze Results, Bibliometrix/Biblioshiny, and VOSviewer were used to assess scientific performance, map thematic structures, and identify keyword co-occurrence patterns. Findings – Digital surveillance publications increased from 46 documents in 2010 to 424 documents in 2025, while academic social networking publications increased from 16 to 995 documents. The United States leads in digital surveillance research with around 770 documents, while India leads in academic social networking research with 729 documents. The theme of digital surveillance centers on datafication, privacy, COVID-19, public health, and artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, academic social networking focuses on ResearchGate, Mendeley, social media, altmetrics, publications, and citations. Implications/limitations of the research – Findings are limited by reliance on a single database, inclusion of English-language documents only, the specific search terms selected, and differing citation windows across publication years, which affect citation-based comparisons. Originality/value – This research maps two previously separate fields within a single comparative framework and interprets visibility and surveillance as a continuum within data-driven information ecosystems, rather than as opposing phenomena.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examined the effectiveness of microlearning-based video tutorials in improving hair bun styling skills among students in vocational beauty education. The study addressed the limitations of conventional demonstration-based instruction, which often restricts repetition opportunities, learning flexibility, and independent procedural review. Design/methods/approach – A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 12 undergraduate students enrolled in a hair styling course. The intervention was conducted over four weeks using eight microlearning-based video tutorial segments, each lasting approximately 3–5 minutes and distributed through Google Classroom and WhatsApp to support flexible learning access. Data were collected using a performance-based assessment rubric covering preparation, technique, neatness, shape conformity, durability, and aesthetics. Instrument reliability testing produced a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.82, indicating good internal consistency. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Shapiro–Wilk normality testing, paired sample t-test, and N-gain analysis. Findings – The findings showed that the mean score increased from 65.42 in the pretest to 82.75 in the posttest. The paired sample t-test revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ performance (p < 0.001). The average N-gain score of 0.63 indicated moderate effectiveness within the studied context. These findings suggest that microlearning-based video tutorials were associated with significant improvement in students’ practical hair bun styling skills. Research implications/limitations – Nevertheless, the small sample size and the absence of a control group limit broader causal interpretation and generalizability. Originality/value – This study contributes empirical evidence regarding the integration of microlearning strategies in vocational beauty education and offers a flexible instructional approach for supporting practical skill development in cosmetology learning environments.

Abstract

Purpose – This exploratory pilot study aims to develop an interpretable machine learning framework for predicting social vulnerability in the coastal areas of Cilacap Regency, Indonesia. Design/methods/approach – The study utilized an optimised eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm integrated with Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), based on socio-economic data collected from seven coastal sub-districts during 2024–2025. The dataset includes indicators such as poverty rate, population density, education level, and infrastructure accessibility. Due to the limited sample size (n = 7), model evaluation was conducted using Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation (LOOCV). Findings – The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 94.2% and an AUC-ROC value of 0.96 within the experimental dataset. SHAP analysis indicates that socio-economic vulnerability and geographic isolation are among the most influential contributing factors. Research implications/limitations – Nevertheless, the findings should be cautiously interpreted because the limited regional dataset constrains broader generalisability. Despite these limitations, this study demonstrates the potential of integrating machine learning and XAI to provide interpretable and data-driven insights that may support policymakers in prioritising mitigation strategies for high-risk coastal communities. Originality/value – Social vulnerability is a critical component of disaster risk management, particularly in coastal regions where complex socio-economic factors interact dynamically. However, conventional approaches often fail to capture non-linear relationships and provide limited predictive interpretability.

Abstract

Purpose - This research evaluates vocabulary learning under Quizlet-supported Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) and tests whether recorded practice intensity is associated with vocabulary acquisition, contextual usage, and delayed retention among Indonesian junior high school EFL learners. Design/methodology/approach - Two existing classes participated in a four-week quasi-experiment. The Quizlet group comprised 31 students and the comparison group 37 students; their pre-test results did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). Frequency and duration of practice were obtained from Quizlet logs. Vocabulary tests, a two-week delayed test, the usage records, and a motivation questionnaire supplied the data for normalized-gain calculations, t-tests, and Pearson correlations. Findings - Relative to conventional instruction, the Quizlet condition produced larger immediate gains and better maintenance of vocabulary at delayed testing. Logged practice intensity was positively associated with the vocabulary outcomes. Research implications/limitations - Objective usage records can help teachers monitor app-based vocabulary practice beyond the classroom. Interpretation is constrained by the four-week treatment, the modest sample, one school, and reliance on a single platform. Originality/value - The study combines separate measures of acquisition, productive usage, and delayed retention with behavioral data from Quizlet in one Indonesian junior high school quasi-experiment.

Abstract

Purpose – The rapid growth of urbanization has significantly increased demand for accessible, efficient boarding house ('kos') search platforms. However, most existing applications rely on static, manual filtering, which often leads to information overload and fails to capture implicit user preferences. To address this, this study designs and implements 'NK Kost,' a mobile application providing customized boarding house recommendations. Design/methods/approach – grates context-based search functionalities, including geolocation, radius, budget, room type, and amenities-with a server-side recommendation engine. To generate personalized results, the system evaluates three Collaborative Filtering (CF) techniques: User-Based CF, Item-Based CF, and a proposed Hybrid CF-Entropy model that combines user- and item-based predictions with entropy-inspired adaptive weighting, designed to address data sparsity and rating variability in localized boarding house contexts.   Findings – Experimental results indicate that the proposed model achieves competitive, though not definitively superior, performance. User-Based CF achieved the lowest prediction error (RMSE = 0.90, MAE = 0.63), while Hybrid CF-Entropy demonstrated comparable ranking effectiveness (Precision@5 = 0.13, Recall@5 = 0.32) without outperforming the baselines across all metrics. A usability evaluation involving 35 participants yielded a System Usability Scale (SUS) score of 71.2, indicating acceptable perceived usability. Research implications/limitations – while the algorithmic adaptability of the Hybrid CF-Entropy model requires further validation on larger datasets. Originality/value – This study introduces a localized boarding house recommendation application using a Hybrid CF-Entropy model with adaptive weighting.

Abstract

Purpose – Reliable passenger data are important for occupancy monitoring, operational supervision, and service reporting in public bus transportation. This study designs and conducts a laboratory evaluation of a microcontroller-based automatic passenger-counting prototype for DAMRI bus capacity monitoring, with particular attention to context-dependent correction of non-revenue passenger movements. Design/methods/approach – The prototype integrates an ESP32 microcontroller, two vertically positioned HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors, an LCD, an overload buzzer, an event-aware dual-mode intervention button, and Telegram Bot connectivity. Passenger direction is identified from the sensor activation sequence. Following a detected event, a short button press reverses the most recent boarding or alighting event when the detected individual should not be included in the official passenger count, whereas a long press transmits the operational report and resets the session counters. The revised evaluation included positive-event sensor-detection trials, boarding and alighting classification, complete non-revenue boarding–alighting sequences, zero-occupancy safeguard testing, capacity-warning tests, intervention-button operation, and Telegram communication. Findings – In the original controlled positive-event trials, the sensor-detection success rate was 94% (47/50; 95% Wilson CI: 83.8–97.9%). Boarding and alighting classification achieved 92% (46/50; 95% CI: 81.2–96.8%) and 94% (47/50; 95% CI: 83.8–97.9%), respectively. The revised intervention mechanism correctly handled 10/10 complete non-revenue movement scenarios, while the zero-occupancy safeguard succeeded in 10/10 tests. The capacity-warning mechanism performed correctly in 10/10 threshold scenarios. Telegram monitoring achieved 10/10 successful authorized responses, with a mean response latency of 1.04 s. Research implications/limitations – The prototype demonstrates the feasibility of integrating directional counting, context-aware manual correction, local capacity alerts, and remote reporting within a low-cost embedded platform. However, testing remained laboratory-based and did not reproduce the full variability of actual bus operation. Simultaneous multi-passenger movement was not evaluated. Originality/value – The contribution does not lie in the established two-sensor directional-counting principle. Instead, it lies in integrating this sensing method with an event-aware bidirectional intervention and reporting workflow designed to correct context-dependent non-revenue passenger movements in Indonesian bus operations.
