Abstract:Ernest Cline's novel Ready Player One depicts the impact of Virtual Reality (VR) on individual identity. The aim of this research is to analyze how VR is constructed as a space for testing individual identity in the novel…
l Ready Player One. This research uses qualitative methods with a discourse analytic approach to examine how virtual identities are constructed in novels. Research data was obtained through novel analysis. Analysis was carried out by re-reading the novel and noting each scene that symbolized virtual identity. The research results show that Virtual Reality can be a place for individuals to experiment with their identity. In this novel, the main character Wade Watts uses an Avatar named Parzival to take part in a competition in the OASIS, a virtual world created by James Halliday. Wade chose this Avatar because he wanted to be a brave and strong figure, different from his true identity in the real world. Virtual Reality can have both positive and negative impacts on an individual's identity. On the one hand, Virtual Reality can be a place for individuals to experiment with their identity and find a more authentic identity. On the other hand, Virtual Reality can also influence individual identity by creating false and unrealistic virtual identities.

Teknik pengambilan sampel yang dipilih adalah pengambilan sampel klaster, yang melibatkan siswa dari kelas VI B dan VI C sebagai subjek penelitian.Teknik analisis data yang digunakan meliputi uji normalitas Shapiro-Wilk dan uji-T untuk pengujian hipotesis. Hasil uji normalitas menunjukkan bahwa data dari kedua kelas tersebut berdistribusi normal, dengan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,052 untuk kelas eksperimen dan 0,693 untuk kelas kontrol; kedua nilai tersebut melebihi 0,05. Hasil pengujian hipotesis menunjukkan nilai Sig. (dua sisi) sebesar 0,000 < 0,05; oleh karena itu, H₀ ditolak dan H₁ diterima. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan dalam prestasi belajar matematika antara siswa yang menggunakan model PBL dan mereka yang belajar secara konvensional. Oleh karena itu, model Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah telah terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan prestasi belajar matematika siswa.
This study was conducted to examine the impact of implementing the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on students’ mathematics learning outcomes in the topic of ratios at AlWashliyah Private Elementary School 80 Kisaran. The research method used was an experiment with a quantitative approach. The sampling technique selected was cluster sampling, involving students from classes VI B and VI C as research subjects. The data analysis techniques used included the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the t-test for hypothesis testing. The results of the normality test indicated that the data from both classes were normally distributed, with significance values of 0.052 for the experimental class and 0.693 for the control class; both values exceeded 0.05. The results of the hypothesis testing showed a Sig. (two-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05; therefore, H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. This proves that there is a significant difference in mathematics achievement between students who used the PBL model and those who learned conventionally. Therefore, the Problem-Based Learning model has been proven effective in improving students’ mathematics achievement.

Abstract:Abstract: Padang City holds various historical relics from the Dutch colonial era, which possess significant historical value and high tourism potential. However, information regarding the locations and descriptions of these…
hese relics is still scattered and difficult to access in an integrated manner. This study aims to design and implement an Android-based Geographic Information System (GIS) that presents an interactive map containing the locations, descriptions, and photos of the heritage sites, along with a regional filter feature to facilitate navigation. The development process began with data collection from the Tourism Office and field observations, followed by map processing in ArcMap, publication to ArcGIS Online, and the creation of an Android application using ArcGIS Maps SDK and Jetpack Compose. Integration with a MySQL database allows the automatic display of location points on the map. The implementation results show that the application can display 33 heritage site points in three districts of Padang City, complete with descriptions, photos, district filters, and Web Map integration. Testing demonstrated that the application runs smoothly, is informative and interactive, and can support cultural preservation efforts while encouraging interest in historical tourism in Padang City.
