Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between knowledge management, knowledge sharing, innovative behavior and student’s academic achievement using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. From the result of the analysis, all constructs of the research model have good validity and reliability, and the values of the loading factors, composite stability (CR), and average variance extracted (AVE) are expected to meet the criteria. The data normality test shows that the data distribution is mostly in accordance with normal standards, although there are small deviations that do not significantly affect the results of the analysis. The main result show that knowledge management has a positive effect the results of the analysis. The main results show that knowledge management has a positive effect on students’ innovative behavior and knowledge sharing acts as a moderator that strengthens the relationsip. In addition, innovative behavior has been shown to have a positive impact on students’ academic achievement, with more innovative students tending to have better academic achievement. These results highlight the importance of developing a culture that supports knowledge sharing and innovative behavior in educational institutions to improve academic achievement. Educational institutions are expected to create an environment that supports student collaboration, innovation, and creativity through activities such as group discussions, seminars, and joint projects.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy and social support on students' interest in participating in cross-major courses in the Independent Student Exchange Program (PMM) at Jambi University. The approach used is ex post facto with the PLS-SEM method, using SmartPLS 3.2.9, and involving 110 students as respondents. The research instrument consists of 34 statements covering the variables of self-efficacy (X1), social support (X2), and student interest (Y). The analysis results show that self-efficacy and social support significantly affect student interest. The reliability and validity tests show that all constructs meet the standards with a Cronbach’s Alpha value above 0.9. These findings confirm that self-efficacy and social support play a crucial role in increasing students' interest in cross-departmental courses. Higher education institutions need to strengthen these two factors to increase student participation in interdisciplinary academic programs.

Abstract

This study examines how emotional intelligence (EI), multicultural competency (MC), learning style (LS), and social support (SS) affect university students' academic performance. In Jambi, Indonesia, 242 undergraduate students from three universities completed a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire. PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 3.0 tested the proposed relationships. Research indicates that learning style (β = 1.725, p < 0.001) and social support (β = 0.952, p < 0.001) significantly impact academic achievement, explaining 76.4% of its variance (R² = 0.764). Despite expectations, emotional intelligence (β = 0.072, p = 0.137) and multicultural competence (β = -0.030, p = 0.466) did not directly impact academic accomplishment. While multicultural competency negatively impacts learning style (β = -0.987, p < 0.001), social support is the biggest predictor of both learning style and academic accomplishment. Learning style and social support drive academic performance in the examined environment, while emotional intelligence and multicultural competency have minimal direct roles. The report recommends that colleges prioritize programs that help students identify and improve their learning styles and strengthen institutional and peer support systems above emotional intelligence and multicultural training. This study enhances our understanding of non-cognitive factors of academic success in multicultural Indonesian higher education.

Abstract

This study examines English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students’ behavioral intention to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in academic writing using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the results show that the model explains 51.6% of the variance in Behavioral Intention and 66.4% of the variance in Use Behavior. Social Influence (β = 0.23; T = 3.614; p < 0.001) and Facilitating Conditions (β = 0.505; T = 7.507; p < 0.001) significantly predict students’ intention, while Performance Expectancy (β = 0.069; T = 0.778; p > 0.05) and Effort Expectancy (β = 0.011; T = 0.156; p > 0.05) do not show significant influence. Behavioral Intention strongly predicts actual AI use (β = 0.65; T = 7.985; p < 0.001), supported by adequate technological access (β = 0.217; T = 2.611; p = 0.005). Students tend to rely on AI for idea generation and language refinement but remain concerned about ethical issues that may affect academic integrity, indicating the need for institutional guidance and responsible AI literacy in higher education.

Abstract

In higher education, especially science and biology, digital technology in project-based learning (PjBL) environments has improved student engagement and learning outcomes. technological, AI, and lecturer assistance have been studied in PjBL, but few have used Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to analyze the complicated interactions between technological acceptance variables and student engagement. ANN is used to predict students' attitudes toward technology (ATT), intention to use technology (INT), actual use of technology in PjBL (AU-PjBL), and student engagement (SE) based on PEOU, PU, and Lecturer Support. Biology education students at Universitas Jambi completed a 35-item Likert-scale questionnaire. We created four ANN models: Model A (PU, PEOU → ATT), Model B (PU, ATT → INT), Model C (INT, LS → AU-PjBL), and Model D (AU-PjBL, LS → Each model was trained and tested using ten network configurations. Model performance was assessed using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and input variable relevance was determined via sensitivity analysis. All ANN models have low RMSE values for training and testing datasets, indicating good predicting accuracy. According to sensitivity analysis, PU predicts ATT better than PEOU, ATT predicts INT better than PU, INT predicts AU-PjBL better than LS, and AU-PjBL predicts SE better than LS. These data emphasize that students' perceived utility, positive attitudes, intention, and technology use drive biology PjBL involvement. The paper highlights ANN as a powerful analytical tool for modeling non-linear and interdependent relationships in technology-enhanced PjBL and gives practical implications for developing meaningful technology use and engagement learning environments.

Abstract

his study aims to examine the influence of parental support, work environment, self-efficacy, and business expectations on the innovative work behavior (IWB) of students at the University of Jambi. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected through a structured questionnaire that was distributed to 310 students from various faculties. The research instrument has passed the validity and reliability test through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to test hypotheses. The model feasibility index showed a good fit (χ²/df = 2.91; RMSEA = 0.063; CFI = 0.934; TLI = 0.921). The results showed that the work environment and self-efficacy had a significant positive influence on IWB, while parental support and business expectations did not show a significant direct influence. However, parental support has a positive effect on self-efficacy, and the work environment significantly affects business expectations, which suggests an important indirect pathway. This model explains 48.6% of the variance in IWB. The novelty of this study lies in the integration between environmental factors and personal psychological factors in a single model to predict student innovation behavior in the context of higher education. These findings provide insights for educational institutions to strengthen the potential for student innovation through improved learning environments and confidence-building programs. This research contributes to the development of science in the field of physics education by offering a model of student behavior that supports the formation of innovative, confident, and proactive learners of important attributes in the advancement of science and education.

Abstract

Advancements in digital technology have reshaped learning across disciplines, including sport education. Yet, the success of digital integration depends not only on students’ technological skills but also on psychological and social factors such as self-efficacy and parental support. This study examines how digital competence, self-efficacy, parental support, and information evaluation strategies jointly affect students’ learning performance in sport education programs. A quantitative survey was conducted with 304 sport education students from Jambi University, Sriwijaya University, and Medan State University. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4.0.9.9. Reliability and validity were tested using composite reliability, AVE, and discriminant validity, while model predictive power was assessed through R² and Q² values. All hypothesized relationships were significant. Parental support had the strongest effect on self-efficacy (β = 0.756, p < 0.001) and digital competence (β = 0.746, p < 0.001), which subsequently enhanced information evaluation and learning outcomes (R² = 0.653; Q² > 0.30). Self-efficacy and digital competence also positively affected information evaluation and academic performance, emphasizing that parental motivation fosters confidence and digital readiness essential for effective sport learning. Students’ success in sport education depends on the synergy between technological proficiency, psychological empowerment, and family engagement. Strengthening digital competence alone is inadequate without developing self-efficacy and parental involvement. Hence, educators and policymakers should promote sport education programs that combine digital literacy, reflective thinking, and family collaboration to cultivate confident, adaptive, and high-performing learners in the digital era.  Keywords: Sport Education; Digital Competence; Self-Efficacy; Parental Support; Students’ Performance; Higher Education

Abstract

This study examines the influence of the principal's transformational leadership style on teacher performance in senior high schools in Merangin Regency with teacher work motivation and job satisfaction as intervening variables and tenure as moderating variable, using a quantitative explanatory survey approach and PLS-SEM analysis (SmartPLS 3.2.9) on a sample of 537 teachers (98.70% response). The results of the hypothesis testing indicate that transformational leadership has a significant positive effect on teacher job satisfaction (β=0.248; p=0.000), teacher work motivation (β=0.690; p=0.000), and teacher performance directly (β=0.282; p=0.000). Teacher work motivation has a very strong effect on teacher performance (β=0.502; p=0.000) and on teacher job satisfaction (β=0.656; p=0.000), while teacher job satisfaction has no significant effect on teacher performance (β=0.083; p=0.105). Teacher job satisfaction was not proven to be a mediator (β=0.021; p=0.117), nor was the mediation chain of motivation → satisfaction → performance (β=0.038; p=0.125). However, teacher work motivation became a strong partial mediator (indirect effect=0.346), so that the total effect of transformational leadership on teacher performance reached 0.628 (62.8%). Teacher tenure was not significant as a moderator. These findings confirm that transformational leadership improves teacher performance primarily through work motivation, so it is recommended to strengthen the dimensions of transformational leadership and strategies to increase teacher motivation for the Merangin Regency Education Office and MKKS to improve the quality of learning.
