Prospective students who wish to enter higher education must first choose the study program they desire, as this program will provide them with the knowledge and skills needed for their future. Selecting a study program may seem easy for prospective students, given the wide range of options available at a university. However, they also need to consider other factors, both internal and external, when making their choice. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the interest of prospective students in choosing the D3 Accounting Program at Politeknik Negeri Banjarmasin and to provide information regarding the profile of respondents based on student status, gender, and the level of decision-making in selecting the D3 Accounting Program at Politeknik Negeri Banjarmasin. The data analysis techniques used in this study include descriptive analysis, instrument testing, classical assumption testing, and hypothesis testing to analyze the effect of two or more independent variables on the dependent variable using regression equations for two or more variables. The t-test is used to examine the significance of each independent variable's constant, determining whether each variable has a partial (individual) effect on the dependent variable, while the F-test is used to assess the simultaneous impact of the independent variables on the dependent variable, determining whether the influence is significant or not. The results of the hypothesis testing using the F-test and t-test indicate that all alternative hypotheses (Ha) are accepted, and null hypotheses (Ho) are rejected. Thus, the findings reveal that social factors, job opportunities, accreditation, and education costs collectively influence the interest of prospective students in choosing the D3 Accounting Program at Poliban

This study aims to analyze the influence of the campus environment on the development of self-identity in adolescent students. Adolescence is a crucial period in the formation of self-identity, and the campus environment as one of the main social contexts plays an important role in this process. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 200 adolescent students at one of the state universities in Indonesia. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured various aspects of the campus environment, including social interactions, extracurricular activities, academic support, and campus facilities, and how these factors contribute to the development of student self-identity. The results of the data analysis show that the campus environment has a significant influence on the development of student self-identity. Positive social interactions, participation in extracurricular activities, and adequate academic support have been shown to contribute significantly to increasing students' self-confidence, self-understanding, and sense of social connectedness. Adequate campus facilities also support the process of exploring self-identity by providing space for students to develop their interests and talents. However, this study also found that some students faced difficulties in adjusting to the new campus environment, especially those from less supportive socio-economic backgrounds.

This study aims to examine the impact of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in learning on the understanding of material by young students. In today's digital era, AI is increasingly being adopted in educational environments, with the potential to personalize learning, increase student engagement, and accelerate the process of understanding material. This research method uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. A total of 120 students from various study programs at a university in Indonesia became research respondents, who were divided into two groups: a group that used an AI-based learning platform and a group that used conventional learning methods. Data collection was carried out through pre-tests and post-tests to measure the level of understanding of the material, as well as surveys to evaluate the learning experience. The results of the study showed that the group of students who used AI technology in learning had a more significant increase in understanding the material compared to the control group. In addition, students who used AI reported a more interactive and motivating learning experience. However, this study also found challenges, such as excessive dependence on technology and disparities in access to adequate technological devices. Based on these findings, the study recommends the integration of AI into the education curriculum in a balanced manner, considering technical and pedagogical factors to maximize the potential of AI-based learning.

The learning that has been carried out so far in the school tends to apply classical learning techniques that do not pay attention to the stages in the variety of learning. For this reason, a good way is needed to learn a lesson, one of which is known as a learning technique. In this research activity, the theme of mathematics learning for school children is based on the KUMON method. This technique is considered one of the solutions that is expected to increase children's academic values and awareness in learning and train children to have independence and full responsibility in the learning process. Indirectly, when repeating the material done by the child, the child will get a reinforcement value that is more than the material conveyed Repetition is intended to provide added value in learning a new material and is implicit in the hierarchical structure of the material that has been learned so that it will be self-absorbed when the child is faced with a problem that establishes a relationship to relates the past material to the future material. the regression analysis test using simple linear regression analysis with the general form of the equation formed is as follows: Y = 0.099X + 36.823. Where the learning variable affects the bound variable of learning outcomes of 0.099 and the value of the constant when no one variable influences, it will produce a learning outcome value of 36, 823. hypothesis test proved to be accepted and the null hypothesis was rejected from the results of the calculation of the value of t obtained was t calculated 6.796 greater than t tabel = 0.697 and sig = 0.763 > sig 0.05, it can be proven that the learning variable has a positive and significant effect on the learning outcome variable.

Bacteria are microorganisms that require adequate media and nutrients to grow and develop. The media commonly used to grow bacteria is Nutrient agar media, but the price of Nutrient agar media is quite expensive. Corn cobs are lignocellulosic wastes that contain nutrients that can meet the nutritional requirements of bacterial growth media. This study aims to investigate the viability of corn cobs as a cost-effective alternative to Nutrient agar media. Specifically, we explore the variance in bacterial colony growth when utilizing corn cobs as a growth medium for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Employing a true experimental design with a posttest-only control structure, we analyze the treatment's effects using the One Way ANOVA test and Independent Sample T-test. These statistical methods enable us to discern differences between groups utilizing corncob media with and without added sugar.Our findings reveal noteworthy insights into bacterial colony growth. For Escherichia coli, the average number of colonies on corncob media with sugar was 222 CFU/ml, on corncob media without sugar, it was 164 CFU/ml, and on Nutrient agar media, it reached 361 CFU/ml. In the case of Staphylococcus aureus, colonies on corncob media with sugar averaged 871 CFU/ml, on corncob media without sugar, they averaged 657 CFU/ml, and on Nutrient agar media, they reached 942 CFU/ml.Statistical analysis using the One Way ANOVA test for both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated p-values <0.05, signifying significant differences in their growth on corncob media with sugar, corncob media without sugar, and Nutrient agar media. Furthermore, the Independent Sample T-test results for both bacterial strains yielded p-values <0.05, indicating dissimilar growth patterns on corncob media with sugar compared to corncob media without sugar.In conclusion, our study underscores significant disparities in the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria among Nutrient agar media, corncob media with sugar, and corncob media without sugar. Notably, we observed a marked increase in bacterial colony counts on corncob media with sugar and corncob media without sugar.
