In the dynamic digital era, artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT presents revolutionary opportunities to advance classroom learning, particularly in science education. This research focuses on the utilization of ChatGPT to develop a learning model that supports the enhancement of students' Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) abilities. The study investigates four main aspects: (1) How can student-centered science learning improve SRL skills such as goal setting, self-management, and reflection? (2) How can the use of active and collaborative learning strategies in science increase students' motivation and SRL? (3) How can formative and summative assessments focused on developing SRL skills enhance science learning? (4) What are the researchers' experiences in using ChatGPT as a tool to develop and refine learning units, and their reflective research on its use as a teaching aid? An exploratory methodology was applied, utilizing ChatGPT to generate teaching materials tailored to classroom needs. Initial findings highlight ChatGPT's potential to support the development of SRL skills by providing quick access to structured and verified information. However, its use must be carefully managed to prevent over-reliance and ensure critical evaluation of sources. Educators are responsible for guiding students in the wise use of AI, fostering critical thinking, and promoting independent learning. Integrating ChatGPT into lesson design can enhance science education by creating engaging units, providing clear rubrics, and supporting formative assessment. This research underscores the positive potential of ChatGPT in fostering inclusive and adaptive science education, while also addressing the need for responsible technology management to ensure student development and well-being.

Digital transformation in the public transportation sector is part of the national development priority agenda aimed at improving service quality and operational efficiency. This study aims to analyze the implementation of cashless payment-based digital transformation in public transportation policy on the Suroboyo Bus in Surabaya, analyze service quality based on SERVQUAL dimensions, identify supporting and inhibiting factors for implementation, and evaluate the success and shortcomings of the policy.

The results show that the implementation of cashless payment on the Suroboyo Bus has been running well since 2018, with four main payment methods: QRIS, e-money cards, plastic waste contributions, and the Child Identity Card (KIA). QRIS has become the dominant payment method with a 48% share in 2025. Service quality based on SERVQUAL dimensions shows good results in the aspects of tangibles, reliability, and responsiveness, but still requires improvement in the dimensions of assurance and empathy. Supporting factors for implementation include government commitment, the availability of regulations (Perwali No. 22 of 2023)., adequate infrastructure, and support from digital payment service providers. Inhibiting factors include limited digital literacy, internet network disruptions, limited economic access, and lack of socialization. The success of the policy is reflected in increased operational efficiency, financial transparency, and a rise in the number of users from 1.2 million (2019). to 3.5 million (2025). Shortcomings of the policy include the digital gap for vulnerable groups, dependence on internet networks, and a decrease in participation in the plastic waste payment program from 25% (2023). to 12% (2025).
