Abstract

The internet provides tremendous educational benefits for students and also provides better communication, information, and social interaction opportunities for young people, but excessive internet use can lead to negative psychological addiction. This study aims to quantitatively describe the tendency of internet addiction in the population of students majoring in Public Administration from the class of 2020, 2021, and 2022. The total sample taken was 142 people, including all students from the three batches. The data analysis method applied in this research is the crosstab or cross tabulation analysis technique. The data analysis process involved the use of SPSS V.25 statistical software. From the results of the analysis of gender and range of addiction, it can be seen that the majority of respondents, both males (66.7%) and females (69.9%), experience a moderate level of internet addiction, especially social media. The number of respondents who experienced moderate addiction reached 98 out of a total of 142 respondents. In the analysis of respondents' age groups and range of addiction, it can be seen that three age groups dominate, namely 19, 20 and 21 years old. Of the 28 respondents aged 19, 17 of them experienced moderate addiction. In the 20-year-old age group, out of 43 respondents, 33 were classified as moderately addicted. While in the 21-year-old age group, out of 37 respondents, 26 of them also showed a moderate level of addiction. Furthermore, the tendency of internet addiction in college students is dominated by two main aspects: characteristics and excessive use. Students who feel attached to the internet tend to always think about and find it difficult to control their use. Keywords: Tendency; Addiction; Internet; College Students

Abstract

Collaborative abilities are one of the pillars that students must have in facing the complexity of the world, especially in world complexity, especially in abilities that can be trained by using E-LKPD in learning. Therefore, this research aims to determine the needs analysis for E-LKPD development. This type of research is quantitative and descriptive, using questionnaires, interviews, and observation data collection techniques. The research subjects were students in class XI-10 IPS at SMA Negeri 5 Samarinda. The data obtained was then analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis techniques. Based on the data analysis, the curriculum requires LKPD as an attachment that must be provided in learning. The material presented in E-LKPD has informative and procedural characteristics. The analysis of student needs shows that 78% of students need  E-LKPD, making it easier for them to understand the material, and 38% of students attract students' learning attention. Regarding the weaknesses of the E-LKPD used during geography learning, it is that the E-LKPD is not in accordance with the meaning of the E-LKPD itself, the E-LKPD is not in accordance with the curriculum used, the E-LKPD used by students has not attracted the students' learning attention. Based on the results of this research can provide an illustration that needs analysis seen from the curriculum aspect, material characteristics, and student characteristics is the main step in developing E-LKPD that is appropriate and innovative based on current needs. Keywords: Need analysis; E-LKPD Bases on Geographical Inquiry; Collaborative Abilities

Abstract

Generation Z demonstrates a high level of concern for environmental issues, yet their pro-environmental behavior remains inconsistent. SMA Negeri 1 Medan is recognized as a leading school with adequate facilities, though the level of environmental awareness and behavior among its students is not yet well understood. The use of the AQAL quadrant in analyzing these aspects remains limited, even though this approach can offer a comprehensive analysis across internal and external, as well as individual and collective dimensions. This research aims to analyze the environmental awareness and pro-environmental behavior of students at SMA Negeri 1 Medan. A mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory strategy was employed, involving 72 students from grades X and XI. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations, then analyzed using the AQAL quadrant approach to integrate quantitative and qualitative findings. The students demonstrated a very high level of environmental awareness (level 5), while their pro-environmental behavior was at a moderate level (level 3), often driven by instructions or competitive activities. The school culture reached a good level (level 4), and the school’s policies strongly supported sustainability (level 5), although consistent implementation by all members of the school community still needs improvement. This indicates that high environmental knowledge, a sustainability-oriented culture, and supportive school policies have not yet significantly translated into consistent pro-environmental behavior among students.

Abstract

Spatial thinking skills are essential in everyday life. These skills can be improved through geography learning. Various studies on efforts to improve spatial thinking skills through geography education have been conducted in Indonesia; however, none have specifically examined the various models, teaching materials, and learning outcomes. Through a comprehensive review of previous findings, this study was conducted to fill this gap. The results of this study can be helpful for teachers and researchers in further developing geography education. This study employs a qualitative research design, specifically a document study or literature review. Publish or Perish software is used in the process of exploring or conducting literature searches. Through the initial search process, a total of 61 documents were obtained. These documents were then reviewed individually, resulting in a total of 16 documents that met the inclusion criteria. The results of the study showed that the most widely applied geography learning model was Project-Based Learning, followed by Discovery Learning and EarthComm. The teaching materials used are Disaster and Disaster Management, Basics of Mapping, Remote Sensing, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere Dynamics and Its Impact on Life, and Potential of Indonesian Marine Waters. Through the application of the learning model, various improvements were obtained in several indicators of spatial skills. The Project-Based Learning model is the most successful approach in improving various indicators of spatial thinking skills, including Analogy, Aura, Pattern, Association, Form, and Analysis.

Abstract

This development research aims to produce a gamification-based learning media that is feasible and effective for teaching the topic of atmospheric dynamics and its impact on life in Geography subjects. The material on atmospheric dynamics and its impacts includes several subtopics, namely: (1) identifying the layers of the Earth's atmosphere, (2) analyzing weather elements and interpreting weather data, (3) identifying atmospheric dynamics and their impact on life, (4) analyzing the classification of climate types and global climate patterns, and (5) understanding the characteristics of Indonesia's climate and its influence on human activities. This research explains that gamification does not mean creating a game, but rather developing specialized media to apply gamification concepts more effectively. The development of the media was carried out using the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). This study produced learning media containing gamification elements such as points, badges, challenges, competition, collaboration, levels, content unlocking, duration, tasks, and game rules. The model used in the implementation of this gamification-based learning media is the Game-Based Learning model. Data collection techniques in this research used questionnaires with a Likert scale. The results obtained showed a validation score from media experts of 89%, from material experts of 83%, and students' trial results reached 83% as well. Therefore, the gamification-based learning media is categorized as “highly feasible” for use.

Abstract

The Sapiang Island cluster has potential for tourism activities, especially beach tourism. Data from the Central Sulawesi Tourism Office shows a continuous increase from 2022 to 2024. The number of tourists in Central Sulawesi in 2024 is highest in April and December, while the lowest is in August. By district/city, the highest number of visits is in Palu city with a percentage of 24.1 percent, followed by Morowali Regency with 12.2 percent, Sigi Regency with 10.4 percent, and Donggala Regency with 9.8 percent. The objective of this research is to analyze and evaluate the land suitability level for tourism development. The method used in this research is a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method. The data analysis was measured using coastal tourism land suitability analysis with bio-physical parameters modified by the researcher, with eight parameters. The results at the three points were categorized as Suitable (S1) with different percentages. The first observation point, Darat Island, received a score of 88.69%, while the second observation point, Bobonoan Island, received a suitability index score of 98.81%. The third observation point, Laot Island, received a suitability index score of 86.31%. The land suitability index results from the three observation locations conducted by the researchers obtained a value of 91.27%, which falls into the Suitable (S1) category for tourism activities. The results of the grouping of tourism activities based on physical parameters show that these physical parameters are dominant for beach recreation activities, with fourteen parameters being met.

Abstract

Rapid changes in the world of work due to globalization and the information technology revolution require an evaluation of the competencies needed considering the gap between educational outcomes and job market demands. Outcome-Based Education (OBE) is considered to be able to bridge this gap by focusing on learning outcomes that are relevant and in accordance with the needs of the world of work, replacing the teacher-centered teaching method that is still dominant. This study aims to analyze the implementation of OBE in the Department of Geography Education and evaluate the level of student learning achievement to meet professional demands in the field of geography. This research uses a quantitative descriptive method to describe the level of student learning achievement related to implementing Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in the Department of Geography Education, with a population of all students and samples taken using purposive sampling from the 2023 and 2024 classes. Data were collected through a closed questionnaire distributed via Google Forms, using a Likert scale from 1 to 5, and analyzed using descriptive statistics to calculate the percentage of respondents' answers and the average answer per item. The study's results showed that implementing Outcome Based Education (OBE) had a positive impact with an average student learning achievement reaching 73.8%. However, there are still shortcomings in mastery of technology and application of theory to real practice, which emphasizes the need to develop a more applicable curriculum. To improve these skills, it is recommended that universities integrate experiential learning methods such as internships and case studies and focus on curriculum evaluation that is integrated with practical experience.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest Muslim population in the world that has great potential to develop halal tourism. The purpose of this study is to analyze the development of halal tourism in Sabang City based on the potential, cultural and religious influence in Sabang City, the suitability and availability of tourist facilities in meeting the needs of Muslim tourists, as well as the promotion and marketing system of halal tourism in Sabang City in the domestic and international markets. The research method used in this study is qualitative research using descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that Sabang City has the potential for natural, nautical, religious, heritage, culinary, tourist villages, and artificial tourism for the development of halal tourism that respects Islamic values. Aceh's culture, which is thick with Islamic religious values, affects the development of halal tourism in Sabang City by ensuring that all aspects of tourism are in accordance with Islamic law including dress rules on the beach, halal food, and the availability of places of worship in tourist destinations. The existence of facilities that suit the needs of Muslim tourists, such as tourist attractions, halal-certified inns and restaurants, Islamic banking services, worship facilities and transportation facilities that comply with sharia principles further strengthens the attractiveness of Sabang City as a halal tourist destination. Promotional activities carried out by tour managers increase the acceptance, purchase, and loyalty of tourism products through international promotions such as Sail Sabang and Sabang Marine Festival, as well as domestic promotions with government support, social media marketing, and cooperation with travel.
