Measuring Various Factors That Affect Students’ Learning Process From Aspects of Family and School Personality With a Learning Focus

Indri Anggraeni Putri, Siti Risma Wati, Sri Rahayu

This study aims to measure the influence of personality, family environment, and school conditions on the learning process of fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students at SDN Kanggraksan, SDN Silih Asah 1, and SDN Silih Asah 2 in Cirebon, Indonesia. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive correlational survey design, and data were collected through a four-point Likert scale questionnaire. The results show that personality aspects including responsibility, independence, and motivation to learn have a significant influence on learning outcomes. In contrast, the family and school aspects did not show a statistically significant influence, although a weak to moderate correlation was found between the three variables, with the strongest between personality and family. Female students tend to score higher in the perception of personality and school environment compared to male students. Additional analysis using Wilks' DISRIMINAT and Lambda tests confirmed that only personality variables had a statistically significant influence (F = 5.158, p = 0.024). These findings highlight the importance of a holistic approach in understanding the effectiveness of learning by integrating students' internal and external factors. This research shows that fostering students' personalities supported by family and school structures can improve the overall learning experience and outcomes.

ahmad fadil fadil,najwa sausan, itci rusti, najwa sausan fakhriyah, itci rusti

In the past few years, blockchain technology has increasingly drawn the interest of many organizations, largely due to its potential to improve data security, transparency, and operational efficiency in managing transactions. Despite these advantages, the rate at which organizations—especially in developing countries like Indonesia—adopt blockchain remains slow. One major consideration influencing adoption is the organization's level of preparedness, often referred to as organizational readiness. This encompasses the availability of resources, the strength of technological infrastructure, and the support from management to embrace change. This research seeks to explore how organizational readiness correlates with an organization's intention to implement blockchain technology. By applying a quantitative research method using survey instruments, the study found that organizations demonstrating higher levels of readiness were more inclined to adopt blockchain systems. The outcomes provide valuable guidance for institutions aiming to undergo a sustainable digital shift, underlining the importance of evaluating internal capabilities before embracing innovative technologies

Nazwa shofa, Haning Ditasuri, Nurzakiyah Darojah

Mental well-being serves as a critical factor in shaping students’ academic success and overall quality of life. Elevated academic stress combined with insufficient social support has been linked to a heightened likelihood of experiencing depression. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of academic stress and perceived social support on students’ risk of depression. A total of 300 respondents participated, comprising junior high school students from SMPN 1 Cirebon and undergraduate students from Institut Prima Bangsa Cirebon. This research employed a descriptive quantitative approach using survey techniques, with data analysis carried out through binary logistic regression. The constructs of stress and depression were assessed using selected items from the DASS-42 scale, while perceived social support was measured through the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The analysis revealed that academic stress significantly elevated the probability of depression, whereas greater levels of social support played a significant role in mitigating that risk. These findings highlight the necessity of implementing effective stress management strategies and fostering supportive environments within educational settings. This research offers empirical insights to the fields of psychology and education, particularly in understanding how academic stress and social support interact to influence mental health outcomes among adolescents and emerging adults.
