The selection of location is fathomed to influence different responses to students when reading. This study chose college students as respondents because reading is a daily learning process related to education or because of individual interests. College students choose a certain locations for reading and the relation between locations and respondents cause the responses to activity. Based on these, this study aimed to find the relation between the chosen reading locations and the students responses when doing reading activity. This study used quantitative research methods and online questionnaire as data collection instruments. To interpret the relations between reading locations and students reading responses, this study used explanatory quantitative research methods. Through open-ended question about the reason for selecting a certain location to read, was found that students reading responses are “Thinking Ability” and “Reading Attachment”. College students choose some certain reading locations, but the majority of students tend to choose rooms and libraries. The results showed three reading clusters. In the first cluster “Campus and Public Spaces”, was found that the ability to think and students reading attachment tended to be low. In the second cluster “Eating Area”, was found that students tended to have the attachment of reading but still have difficulty to focus. While in the third cluster, “Home Environment” was found as the ideal reading environment because the ability to think and students reading attachment tended to be high.

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of religiosity in the quarter-life crisis in students. The hypothesis proposed was that religiosity plays a role in the quarter-life crisis of students. This research used survey quantitative research methods. Participants in this study were 219 college students (95 males and 124 females) from various study programs in Indonesia aged 18-25 year old. The instruments used were the Abrahamic religiosity scale and the quarter-life crisis scale. Data were analyzed using regression analysis (p = 0.006; r = 0.034). Religiosity was found to predict how the student's facing a period of a quarter-life crisis and full of challenges to face.

The aim of this study was to explore the requirements of the Malta College of Arts Science and Technology (MCAST) library users and to propose an adequate solution to their academic needs. The present study also examines the current scenario at MCAST in relation to the usage and awareness of e-resources. A quantitative research approach was adopted for this study with a survey as a research instrument. This paper is based on a previous investigation conducted to better understand user satisfaction and associated issues. Like in any other area, librarianship and innovation walk hand in hand. In this case, digitalisation can be seen as both a challenge and an opportunity. MCAST Library is no exception. Prior to 2020, there was already a demand for more electronic resources in response to the addition of new courses. A thorough search was then conducted by the library team to find a solution to the users’ requirements. The selection of the ideal database was mainly based upon two variables. Firstly, its proper coverage of all the institutes was ensured. Secondly, the presence of new resources that are not duplicated in the databases available to MCAST at that time was confirmed. Following the analysis of feedback and comments obtained through an online questionnaire, the library focused on IEEE Xplore as it satisfied most of the requirements. Following the successful initial trial runs and the report of subsequent usage, the IEEE database was acquired. The provision of electronic resources indicates a boost in quality research amongst MCAST students, faculty, and researchers.


This chapter reviews qualitative research methods and specifically focuses on educational research as an example thereby explaining the position of educational research within an accessible social research framework. It provides an overview of research paradigms, and relationships between research approaches and methodologies. Furthermore, the chapter compares and contrasts the qualitative and quantitative research methods and illustrates how the mixed methods approach blends these two individual approaches. The key characteristics of the following mixed methods methodological approaches are presented: case studies, evaluation, ethnography, action research, ideology critique, biography/narrative. Selection of the method is discussed.

Motivation is a conscious effort, which comes from within and outside of a person. Motivation is affecting a person's behavior so that he moved his heart to act to do something to achieve a certain result or goal. The call to be a catechist must be well motivated and not just looking for a position. This motivation is also needed by students of STKIP Widya Yuwana, as a potential catechist. The issues that arise are: whether the students of STKIP Widya Yuwana have pure motivation from inside themself as catechist? Are their motivations fixed or changed? Do they have the motivation to serve? How far the initial motivation to enter college to give influence for students of STKIP Widya Yuwana? How does motivation have an impact on pastoral care, which is the duty and responsibility of students of STKIP Widya Yuwana, as a potential catechist?Based on the problem, the purpose of this research is to see how far the influence of early motivation for college students of STKIP Widya Yuwana to the spirit of service in the environment.Through questionnaires to 48 respondents using quantitative research methods, it was found that most of the students admitted that there was an influence between the initial motivation to enter the lecture toward the pastoral practice in the environment, but the initial motivation of the students as candidates for catechism and/religious teachers needs to be refined so that students seriously answer the call of his life as a catechist candidate, not just to pursue offers that offer a position or salary alone. Thus, the coaching of these students needs to get the attention of many parties.

Teaching materials are one of the most important parts of the learning process and also prove that the teacher is professional or not, the nature of teaching materials is to provide convenience when conducting learning. This research is a school action research using descriptive quantitative research methods which in the results of this study are explained using numbers in the presentation. Place in SDN 005 Koto Sentajo Sentajo Raya Subdistrict Kuantan Singingi Regency with a total sample of 10 teachers. The results of this study will discuss three aspects of assessment in teaching materials, the first in the aspect of content feasibility illustrates that in the appropriate category there are 6 teachers with a percentage of 60%, and the category is very feasible with a total of 4 teachers with a percentage of 40%. in the second aspect the assessment of linguistic aspects in the feasible category with the percentage of 50%, and the very decent category 50%. in the third aspect, the evaluation of the presentation aspects in the category is feasible with a percentage of 20%, and in the very feasible category of 80%. Then it can be concluded that the teacher's ability to make teaching materials is good, and the making of teaching materials is appropriate for use in the learning process.

As current society’s reflection on the rapid development of motorization and increasing emphasis on the ecological environment, the study of walkable cities has become one of the key points of urban sustainable design. Creating a walkable city is an effective way to build a low-carbon and healthy city. With the development of cities, walkability concepts and theories are constantly being given new life, and research methods and design strategies continue to be updated. A city’s walkability and walkability index have become current research hotspots. Based on prior research on walkability and related urban policies, this study selects Coomera Town on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia, as the research area because of Coomera Town policy regulations and environmental requirements. This study utilizes traditional qualitative and quantitative research methods, machine mining technology, and the deep learning big data analysis technology to conduct thematic design research in a real place. Its combines walkability evaluation with walkability design to construct a walkable city in a targeted manner. This provides a reference for related city design in the future.
