Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) pandemic influenced education systems throughout the world, including in Indonesia. It makes the universities and schools go online for their teaching-learning process. Therefore, mobile learning can be an alternative solution to carry out the teaching and learning process as suggested by the government. The purpose of this study was to explore empirically mobile learning acceptances based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with satisfaction as the mediating variable. The population of this study is 250 Economics Education students at Universitas Negeri Semarang. The sample was taken by purposive sampling with the criteria of students who have used mobile learning in supporting their learning activities. Structural Equation Model (SEM) with AMOS 24 was performed to analyze quantitative data. The results showed that from 6 hypotheses, there are 5 accepted hypotheses; they are; perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived interactivity have positive and significant effects on the intention to use mobile learning. The mediating variable (satisfaction) is successful to strengthen the influence between perceived ease of use and intention; and perceived usefulness and intention. However, satisfaction is rejected to mediate perceived interactivity and intention to use. Stakeholders should improve students’ satisfaction in their learning activities. The limitation of this study was the research results cannot be easely generalized in other contexts. In the future, other researchers can add other factors to examine better technology acceptance.
Green space becomes the central awareness of higher educational institutions since it is expected to create a better atmosphere to study. This study aimed to examine the effects of students' perception of green space on their Academic Performance and pro-environmental behavior. It was a quantitative study; they were 705 students in the population, and 256 students were taken as the samples. The data were collected by distributing the questionnaires. After the questionnaire was tested for its validity and reliability, they were analyzed with SPSS version 21. The results showed that students' perception of Greenspace (X) had a positive but not significant effect on student Academic Performance (Y1). It can be seen from the X coefficient was 0.054, and the sig value count was 0.594. It means that students' perception of green space did not significantly influence their achievement. Furthermore, the Perception of Greenspace (X) positively and significantly affects pro-environmental behavior (Y2). It can be seen from the X coefficient was 2.746 with the sig value count was 0.000. It can be concluded that: 1) Perception of Greenspace (X) has a positive but not significant effect on student Academic Performance (Y1); 2) Perception of Greenspace (X) has a positive and significant effect on pro-environmental behavior (Y2). Therefore, it is recommended that educational institutions be concerned with green space and pay attention to other factors.
<p style="text-align: justify;">This study aims to explain the success factors of e-learning. The participants were 427 students in public universities in Indonesia. To demonstrate the success of this e-learning, we developed a more comprehensive e-learning evaluation model that considers the system's characteristics, students, and instructors. The results show that higher student performance is associated with higher student satisfaction. However, the increase in performance is not due to the use of e-learning. Social and cultural factors influence the use of e-learning. Culture and social environment influence students' use of e-learning. The instructor's ability to implement e-learning has been shown to influence student satisfaction. The difference in the implementation of e-learning compared to classroom learning requires different teaching methods that affect student performance. In addition, e-learning is used in all courses during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
UNNES has a vision of becoming a conservation-oriented and internationally reputed university. It makes UNNES carries out the policies to aware and to implement the conservation values. There are 8 (eight) pillars of conservation; however, the study focuses on 5 (five) pillars which are directly on the environment. The other 3 (three) pillars relate to the culture and character conservation. The objective of the study is to understand the real condition of Students’ Environmental Conservation after implementing some conservation programs and policies conducted by UNNES. It is quantitative research taking students from UNNES (UNNES) as the population. The total population was 24,000 students and with Slovin formula; there were 393 students as the samples. Data were collected by distributing the questionnaires with 3 (three) variables; knowledge, perception, and attitudes of UNNES students on environmental conservation. Then the data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. All data were processed using SPSS 23.5 for Windows. The results of the study showed which; 1) 52% of respondents have high knowledge on Environmental Conservation; 2) 50% of the respondents have very high perception on Environmental Conservation; 3) 61% of respondents have good attitude on Environmental Conservation; and 4) simultaneously; Knowledge students (X1) and students’ perception (X2) have effects for 66.5% on their attitudes on environmental conservation (Y). Next, the partial results of students’ knowledge (X1) had an effect for 35.9% on their attitudes on environmental conservation (Y) and students’ perception (X2) had an effect for 61.3% on their attitudes on environmental conservation (Y). It means that students already have good environmental knowledge, perception and attitudes on conservation.

The study examines the features of collaborative feedback among students in their writing process in the blended learning environment and finds their experiences during this collaborative learning. This study used the qualitative method. Twenty texts of the students' writing were used as the primary data. Then, this research employed an interview and an observation. Through textual analysis and survey results, I first found a similar trend of texts the students primarily focused on in giving writing feedback. There are tenses, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization. These facts mean that the students are good enough to understand the correct and incorrect features used in writing at those features. Second, during the implementation of this collaborative learning, students have the opportunity to negotiate any feedback, give and respond to any available text, and practice decision-making skills. These findings imply that first, lecturers are supposed to acknowledge the students' language skill level to create better material for them. Second, the students can be categorized as self-regulated, other-regulated, and object-regulated. The number of self-regulated and other-regulated learners is dominant compared to object-regulated ones. Understanding the type of learners is vital to developing a better approach in teaching and learning in a large class, especially for developing countries like Indonesia. The research is limited to a large class size where English is a foreign language. Hence, the method of blended learning for writing in a large class size needs to adjust to any local context. However, the challenges come from the students themselves, the classroom management, or the infrastructure available for teaching and learning. This collaborative feedback is a pedagogical breakthrough for most developing countries with many students.
