es the use of design applications as a means of supporting the learning process. The research method used was a quantitative survey involving 30 students as respondents who were selected purposively, namely those who had direct experience using canva. The data collection instrument was a Likert scale questionnaire with 20 statements covering aspects of ease of use, time efficiency, quality and creativity, academic benefits, collaboration, limitations, and satisfaction levels. The results showed that the majority of students had a positive view of using canva. This application was considered easy to operate even without in-depth design skills, helping to speed up the preparation of presentations, while also improving the quality and creativity of the display. In addition, canva is considered to provide real academic benefits, support collaboration, and encourage the exploration of diverse visual styles. However, there are still a number of weaknesses, such as the limitations of the free version, visual designs that are considered less suitable for formal academic contexts, and a small number of students who feel that their creative space is limited. From this research, it can be concluded that canva can be used as an alternative medium to support the learning process in higher education, particularly in developing students' presentation skills. Lecturers and educational institutions can also utilize canva as an innovative learning tool that encourages creativity, collaboration, and improves the quality of material delivery. In addition, the results of this study can be used as a basis for developing policies on the use of digital media in academic activities that are more effective and relevant to students' needs.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi persepsi mahasiswa mengenai efektivitas penggunaan canva dalam merancang presentasi perkuliahan. Latar belakang kajian ini berangkat dari pesatnya perkembangan teknologi digital yang mendorong pemanfaatan aplikasi desain sebagai sarana penunjang proses pembelajaran. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah survey kuantitatif yang melibatkan 30 mahasiswa sebagai responden yang dipilih secara purposive, yakni mereka yang memiliki pengalaman langsung menggunakan canva. Instrumen pengumpulan data berupa angket skala Likert dengan 20 butir pernyataan yang mencakup aspek kemudahan penggunaan, efisiensi waktu, kualitas dan kreativitas, manfaat akademik, kolaborasi, keterbatasan, serta tingkat kepuasan. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa mayoritas mahasiswa memiliki pandangan positif terhadap penggunaan canva. Aplikasi ini dinilai mudah dioperasikan meskipun tanpa keahlian desain yang mendalam, membantu mempercepat penyusunan presentasi, sekaligus meningkatkan mutu dan kreativitas tampilan. Selain itu, canva dianggap memberi manfaat akademik nyata, mendukung kerja sama, dan mendorong eksplorasi gaya visual yang beragam. Meski demikian, masih ditemukan sejumlah kelemahan, seperti keterbatasan fitur versi gratis, desain visual yang dinilai kurang sesuai untuk konteks akademik formal, serta sebagian kecil mahasiswa yang merasa ruang berkreasi mereka terbatasi. Dari penelitian ini dapat ditemukan bahwa canva dapat dijadikan media alternatif untuk menunjang proses pembelajaran di perguruan tinggi, khususnya dalam pengembangan keterampilan presentasi mahasiswa. Dosen dan institusi pendidikan juga dapat memanfaatkan canva sebagai sarana pembelajaran inovatif yang mendorong kreativitas, kolaborasi, serta peningkatan kualitas penyampaian materi. Selain itu, hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi dasar bagi pengembangan kebijakan penggunaan media digital dalam kegiatan akademik yang lebih efektif dan relevan dengan kebutuhan mahasiswa.

y is based on traffic problems such as congestion and accidents that are increasing along with the growth of motorized vehicles that are not balanced by adequate road infrastructure. The Pekanbaru City Government through the Transportation Agency has implemented various traffic engineering policies, including the one-way system and the closure of U-Turns at certain points. The method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the implemented policies have had a positive impact, but their implementation still faces obstacles such as lack of public awareness, limited infrastructure, and less than optimal coordination between institutions. This study recommends the need for more massive socialization and increased synergy between institutions to support the successful implementation of traffic engineering policies.

Abstract:Despite decades of global HIV/AIDS education efforts, the gap between awareness and preventive behavior among youth remains a persistent challenge. University students—typically well-educated and socially engaged—are expected…
expected to be proactive in health matters, yet many remain passive in HIV prevention efforts. This study examines the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of university students in Indonesia regarding HIV/AIDS, and analyzes the cognitive and structural barriers that hinder behavioral change. The research applies two theoretical frameworks: the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the Health Belief Model (HBM). A quantitative survey was conducted among 268 students at Hasanuddin University. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to assess levels of HIV/AIDS knowledge, attitudes, and preventive actions. Skewness and kurtosis were also calculated to explore distributional patterns. While students demonstrated high levels of knowledge (M = 16.34) and positive attitudes (M = 31.36), their preventive behavior was notably low (M = 10.74), with skewed distributions indicating widespread inaction. Misconceptions about HIV transmission and curability were common. Both TPB and HBM helped explain the role of perceived barriers, weak normative support, and low self-efficacy in limiting behavioral intention. Findings highlight a critical knowledge–action gap driven by social stigma, misinformation, and lack of institutional cues to action. Effective HIV prevention requires not only awareness but also structured interventions that enhance agency, normalize testing, and dismantle behavioral barriers within youth populations

subject teachers in compiling lesson plans using Game Based Learning. Although there are many books, articles, and other sources that discuss it, it is still an obstacle for some teachers in compiling lesson plans. Based on the author's experience in teaching students, it seems difficult to plan Discovery Learning syntax systematically and organize class activities appropriately in each syntax. They sometimes cannot distinguish the syntax of the method from others, even though this method is one of the suggested and recommended methods and has been widely used. To help students and teachers, this article supports them with a clear definition along with its systematic syntax, advantages and disadvantages

the impact of these strategies on student behavior. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects consisted of the principal, three Islamic Religious Education teachers, and Muslim students at SMPN 2 Nuangan. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was tested through source and technique triangulation, observation persistence, extended participation, and member checks. The results showed that the strategies of Islamic Religious Education teachers in the formation of Islamic character values were carried out through role models, habituation, advice, integration of character values in learning, and supervision of student behavior. Supporting factors included teacher commitment, a conducive school culture, cooperation among school members, and parental support. Inhibiting factors included differences in student backgrounds, lack of family attention, the influence of the social environment, and limited learning time. This strategy has a positive impact on improving students' religious attitudes, discipline, responsibility and good manners.
