<p>The final project is a graduation requirement for undergraduate students to obtain their bachelor’s degree. The final project is carried out by students  under the direction of their supervisors. One of the indicators of a supervisor’s success in the final project supervision is that students are able to complete the final project in one semester. The supervisor is expected to be able to carry out his role by imitating Jesus Christ, in accordance with the vision and mission of Universitas Pelita Harapan as a Christian institution which prioritizes faith in Christ. This research aims to understand the role of the supervisor as a servant leader in the final project supervision. This is important in order to see how he conforms to the role and also can be used as a reference to improve the performance of the final project supervisor. A qualitative research method in a study case was used in this research to generate an in-depth understanding. Research subjects were six lecturers who participated in structured interviews and 36 student respondents who gave responses through questionnaires. Based on the results of the analysis, the supervisors in the Faculty of Psychology have carried out their role as servant leaders in their students’ final project supervision and supporting their students in completing their final projects in one semester.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT:</strong> Tugas akhir merupakan syarat kelulusan bagi mahasiswa program sarjana untuk mendapatkan gelar sarjana strata satu.

The role of smartphones within education has received a lot of media and academic attention. This has typically focused on their use in the classroom, within tutor-directed sessions. However, less has been focused on how smartphone use is negotiated within self-study. Using semi-structured interviews, the current study sought to explore final year undergraduate students’ (N = 6) strategies for smartphone self-regulation during self-study time and the extent to which these strategies were effective. IPA revealed three main themes: “Urgency, Context and Consistency”, “Learned Helplessness” and “Fear of Missing out (FoMO)”. The findings extend our understanding of how conceptual frameworks such as self-regulation apply to smartphone regulation during self-study, and provide insight into the barriers for effective regulatory behaviour. Implications for both self-study efficacy and smartphone regulation are discussed.

<p><em>Technological developments bring about major changes to communication patterns, including in the world of education. Compared to before, now students consisting of generation Z are more interested in delivering dynamic materials that can be accessed from anywhere. Responding to these challenges, the Hindu-based Dwijendra Denpasar High School (SMA) seeks to optimize the distribution of religious messages through the use of communication media. This study aims to analyze how far the communication media can play a role in improving students' sraddha bhakti. Researchers used three theories, namely Agenda Setting, Mathematical Communication, and Constructivism. This type of research is qualitative descriptive with a sociological approach. The research subjects were the school as communicators and students as communicants. Methods of data collection through participatory observation, structured interviews, document studies, literature studies, and online searches. The results showed that communication media consisting of Dwijendra Community Radio, audio-visual media, and Learning Management System (LMS) had an important role in the distribution of information related to sraddha bhakti. The media has advantages in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, concrete, and motivation. Barriers that arise in the role of communication media consist of technical barriers which include facilities and infrastructure, semantic barriers that include message content, and human barriers that arise from communication actors. The strategies applied by the school to improve the role of communication media include mapping problems, taking action on obstacles that occur, and optimizing the role of communication media using redundancy, canalizing, informative, educational, coercive, and persuasive methods. The evaluation shows that the role of communication media has positive implications for increasing students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes of Sraddha Bhakti.</em></p>

Relational aspects, such as involvement of donor’s relatives or friends in the decision-making on participation in a research biobank, providing relatives’ health data to researchers, or sharing research findings with relatives should be considered when reflecting on ethical aspects of research biobanks. The aim of this paper is to explore what the role of donor’s relatives and friends is in the process of becoming and being a biobank donor and which ethical issues arise in this context. We performed qualitative analysis of 40 qualitative semi-structured interviews with biobank donors and researchers. The results show that relatedness to relatives or other types of close relationships played a significant role in the donors’ motivation to be involved in a biobank, risk-benefit assessment, and decisions on sharing information on research and its results. Interviewees mentioned ethical issues in the context of sharing relatives’ health-related data for research purposes and returning research findings that may affect their relatives. We conclude that the question of what information on family members may be shared with a biobank by research participants without informed consent of those relatives, and when family members become research subjects, lacks a clear answer and detailed guidelines, especially in the context of the introduction of the European Union’s (EU) General Data Protection Regulation. Researchers in Latvia and EU face ethical questions and dilemmas about returning research results and incidental findings to donors’ relatives, and donors need more information on sharing research results with relatives in the informed consent process.

The learning program through the TVRI program can make it easier for students who have obstacles to access the internet, due to economic reasons and geographic location. This study aims to examine the effect of learning from home through TVRI on the psychomotor aspects of elementary school students during the spread of Covid-19. There are 3 levels studied, namely readiness, guidance, and basic skills. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The research subjects included students in grades III, IV, and V SDN Jambean 02. The data filling technique was an instrument in the form of observation and structured interviews. Learning from home through the TVRI learning program guided by parents or adults, affects the psychomotor aspects of students at the readiness and guidance stages, but at the basic skilled stage it has not been successful. This shows the role of teachers in schools cannot be saved by technology, even when students study at home accompanied by parents. With the learning from home through the TVRI program, it is hoped that parents can read students when studying, with the aim of developing students' psychomotor aspects optimally

Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) are very important skills to be taught to students in the 21st century. The role of teachers is very important in improving students' high-level skills. This study aims to determine whether or not prospective physics teachers have misconceptions in compiling HOTS cognitive questions. The emergence of miscon-ceptions shows that the ability of prospective physics teachers is still low in composing HOTS cognitive questions. The research subjects were all final semester prospective physics teachers who took the learning evaluation course at the Universitas PGRI Kanjuruhan Malang in the even semester of 2019/2020. The data collection technique is documentation. The data is taken from the final project document in the learning evaluation course, where prospective physics teachers are asked to make cognitive ques-tions from levels C1 to C6 and are asked to state their beliefs about the questions they have made. The data were analyzed in the descriptive qualitative way to determine the misconceptions of prospective physics teachers. The results showed that prospective physics teachers were not yet able to compile HOTS cognitive questions. Recommenda-tions for the preparation of HOTS questions are also given in this paper.

This study demonstrates the significance of individual difference factors, particularly gender and sensation seeking, in predicting media choice (examined through hypothetical descriptions of films that participants anticipated they would view). This study used a 2 (Positive mood/negative mood) × 2 (High arousal/low arousal) within-subject design with 544 undergraduate students recruited from a large northeastern university in the United States. Results showed that happy films and high arousal films were preferred over sad films and low-arousal films, respectively. In terms of gender differences, female viewers reported a greater preference than male viewers for happy-mood films. Also, male viewers reported a greater preference for high-arousal films compared to female viewers, and female viewers reported a greater preference for low-arousal films compared to male viewers. Finally, high sensation seekers reported a preference for high-arousal films. Implications for research design and importance of exploring media characteristics are discussed.


Accurate pronunciation has a vital role in English language learning as it can help learners to avoid misunderstanding in communication. However, EFL learners in many contexts, especially at the University of Phan Thiet, still encounter many difficulties in pronouncing English correctly. Therefore, this study endeavors to explore English-majored students’ perceptions towards the role of pronunciation in English language learning and examine their pronunciation practicing strategies (PPS). It involved 155 English-majored students at the University of Phan Thiet who answered closed-ended questionnaires and 18 English-majored students who participated in semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that students strongly believed in the important role of pronunciation in English language learning; however, they sometimes employed PPS for their pronunciation improvement. Furthermore, the results showed that participants tended to use naturalistic practicing strategies and formal practicing strategies with sounds, but they overlooked strategies such as asking for help and cooperating with peers. Such findings could contribute further to the understanding of how students perceive the role of pronunciation and their PPS use in the research’s context and other similar ones.

Research on social and environmental accounting (SEA) has mainly concentrated on disclosure of SEA by corporate bodies, where investigations on ones attitude towards SEA are rarely discussed. SEA is a medium that develops relationships between business and society, community and nature. In addition, SEA involves a concept of sustain ability; where natural resources need to be sustained for the needs of future generations (Alhabshi et al., 2003). SEA also tries to recognise the role of accounting in sustainable development and the use of environmental resources. There are arguments that the young generations today are not fully aware of preserving these natural resources as well as handling social and environmental issues wisely. This perhaps link closely to their belief and cultural background. Hence, this paper examines the influence of gender and belief factors on the undergraduate students’ attitude towards SEA. Four dimensions of belief (fixed ability, quick learning, simple knowledge and certain knowledge) proposed by Schommer (2005) were adapted to analyse how belief factors have influence on their attitude towards SEA. An independent sample t-test was used to examine the relationship between gender and students’ attitude towards SEA. Spearmen’s correlation was employed to show the relationship between belief and attitude towards SEA. The results revealed that gender differences did not show influences on their attitude towards SEA. It was found that there is a significant relationship between belief and students’ attitude towards SEA. Students who believe on the importance of SEA tend to report positive attitude towards SEA. Perhaps findings of this study may provide some information on the SEA education and further be incorporated in the syllabus.
