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.
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

oretical and practical contributions of women with alpha personality tendencies in modern organizations. Using qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches, this study collected data through in-depth interviews and descriptive surveys during the period January 2021 to December 2022. Thematic analysis and descriptive statistics reveal the dynamics of power structures and their impact on gender relations in the workplace. The results of the study show that the role of Alpha Women not only brings leadership innovation but also creates tension in established gender relations. The resulting theoretical implications contribute to the development of gender theory and managerial practice, thus opening up new spaces for dialogue on gender equality in the professional environment.

s (X2), while the dependent variable is the ethical perception of accounting students (Y). This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population of this study consists of accounting students at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, with a total sample of 32 respondents selected using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires via Google Forms and analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software.The results of the study indicate that partially, Love of Money has a positive and significant effect on the ethical perceptions of accounting students. This suggests that students perceive money as a motivation to achieve success in an ethical manner. Meanwhile, Machiavellian traits have a negative and significant effect on the ethical perceptions of accounting students, indicating that the higher the tendency toward manipulation and self-interest orientation, the lower the level of ethical perception. Simultaneously, Love of Money and Machiavellian traits have a significant effect on the ethical perceptions of accounting students.
