Guide to Research and Development (R&D) for Undergraduate Students of Educational Technology

Paputungan, Frezy, Jassin, Iwan B., Ma'ruf, Abd. Rahman K.
Abstract: Research is the systematic and planned process of collecting, processing, and analyzing data in accordance with scientific principles to seek truth, solve problems, or discover new knowledge. Conducting research often serves… rves as a final project for undergraduate students to complete their studies; for Educational Technology undergraduates, in particular, development research is highly recommended. Development research—or Research and Development (R&D)—is a scientific method used to create new products or improve existing ones, as well as to test their effectiveness. These products may take the form of media, models, modules, or tools. Specifically for Educational Technology undergraduates, this type of research involves a scientific approach to designing, producing, and testing the feasibility of instructional products—such as interactive media, learning models, or digital modules—to address learning challenges. The primary objective of R&D for Educational Technology undergraduates is to produce instructional products that are valid, practical, and effective in solving learning problems and enhancing the quality of the learning process and performance. The benefits of such research include improved skills in creating instructional products, the ability to solve real-world learning problems, and the development of a professional portfolio.

NUTRITIONAL QUALITY, SENSORY ACCEPTABILITY, AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF FUNCTIONAL STEAMED SPONGE CAKE (BOLU KUKUS) FORTIFIED WITH PUMPKIN (CUCURBITA MOSCHATA) AND GREEN PEA FLOURS

Limin, Yoana Kusumaningsih, Marlina, Paramitha Wirdani Ningsih
Abstract: Steamed sponge cake (bolu kukus) is a widely consumed traditional snack in Indonesia; however, its reliance on refined wheat flour limits its micronutrient and dietary fiber density. Incorporating composite flours from indigenous&#8230; ndigenous crops, such as tropical pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) and green pea (Vigna radiata L.), offers a promising strategy for nutritional fortification and dietary diversification. This study aimed to evaluate the proximate composition, sensory acceptability, statistical differences, and production cost feasibility of steamed sponge cakes formulated with varying proportions of pumpkin and green pea flours as partial replacements for refined wheat flour. An experimental design was applied using three formulations: AF09 (Control: 100% wheat flour), BW91 (10% pumpkin flour, 20% green pea flour), and CB88 (15% pumpkin flour, 15% green pea flour). Proximate testing measured moisture, ash, protein, fat, crude fiber, and total carbohydrates (by difference). Sensory acceptance (color, aroma, taste, and texture) was evaluated by 50 semi-trained panelists using a hedonic scale. Data were analyzed non-parametrically using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Kruskal-Wallis, and post-hoc Mann-Whitney tests. All formulations complied with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 01-3840-1995) for moisture (31.69%–33.74%), total ash (0.66%–1.05%), crude protein (5.80%–6.65%), and crude fat (1.64%–2.82%). Formula CB88 achieved the highest crude fiber content (0.69%) and lower total energy density (269.88 kcal/100 g). Kruskal-Wallis testing indicated statistically significant differences (p<0.05) among formulations for color, taste, and texture, while aroma exhibited no significant variation (p=0.672). Formula CB88 emerged as the optimal treatment, receiving superior sensory acceptance ratings for color (90% liked) and crumb softness (88% liked) driven by natural β-carotene and pectin-moisture gelation. Production cost analysis demonstrated high economic feasibility for CB88 at IDR 3,374 per 55 g serving. Partial substitution with 15% pumpkin flour and 15% green pea flour (Formula CB88) yields a nutrient-dense, fiber-enriched, and cost-effective functional snack suitable for targeted school nutrition and dietary diversification programs.

Abstract: This study aims to examine the influence of User-Generated Content (UGC) on the TikTok platform on Brand Trust and the Decision to Choose a Higher Education Institution, with Brand Authenticity serving as the mediating variable.&#8230; ariable. This study employs an explanatory quantitative approach. Data were collected via an online survey of a purposive sample comprising prospective students or first-year students (aged 17–21) who actively use TikTok and interact with university-related content. Data analysis was conducted on a minimum of 250 respondents using Partial Least Squares (PLS)-based Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with the aid of SmartPLS software. The results of the outer model testing showed that all indicators used in the questionnaire were valid and reliable. Hypothesis testing confirmed that User-Generated Content has a direct, positive and significant effect on Brand Authenticity, Brand Trust and Choice Decision. Furthermore, Brand Authenticity also has a positive and significant effect on Brand Trust and Choice Decision. Mediation analysis revealed that Brand Authenticity acts as a partial mediator, bridging the influence of UGC on Brand Trust and Choice Decisions. This study confirms that user-generated organic content on TikTok is a crucial instrument in building trust and influencing the academic decisions of Generation Z. Higher education brands that are authentically represented through UGC will find it easier to win the trust and preference of prospective students.

The Effect of PER, DER, and CR on Firm Value: The Moderating Role of Firm Size in Indonesian Industrial Sector Companies

Sitorus, Olifvia Maharany, Suryadi, Edy
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effect of Price Earning Ratio (PER), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Current Ratio (CR) on firm value, with firm size as a moderating variable, in industrial sector companies listed on the&#8230; Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2022–2024 period. This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative method. The data used were secondary data obtained from companies’ annual financial reports. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, resulting in 44 companies with a total of 132 firm-year observations. The data were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA), supported by classical assumption tests, correlation coefficient analysis, coefficient of determination analysis, simultaneous testing, and partial testing. The results of the moderation model show that firm size has a positive and significant effect on firm value, with a significance value of 0.043. Meanwhile, PER, DER, and CR do not have a significant effect on firm value after firm size and the interaction variables are included in the model. The moderation test results indicate that firm size is unable to moderate the effect of PER, DER, and CR on firm value, as all interaction variables have significance values greater than 0.05. Although PER has a positive and significant effect on firm value in the first model, this effect is no longer significant in the moderation model. The coefficient of determination in the moderation model is 12.1%, indicating that the model’s ability to explain variations in firm value remains limited. These findings indicate that firm size is a more dominant factor in explaining firm value than PER, DER, and CR in the moderation model.
