The purpose of this study is to examine the significant differences in effectiveness between the control group and the intervention group when using gamification with virtual reality. The data used consists of test results from 50 respondents, divided into two groups: a control group of 25 students and an intervention group of 25 students. The trial was divided into two different groups. Group 1, the control group, received conventional treatment, which involved lecturers explaining the assembly of hydroponic circuits in class, followed by students practicing the assembly. Group 2, the intervention group, received self-learning treatment that involved the practice of assembling hydroponic circuits using a gamification model with VR. An independent t-test was conducted to determine whether there was a significant effect of applying plant cultivation techniques on assembling hydroponic circuits. The results of the t-test revealed a significant effect of applying the gamification model with VR compared to the conventional model. The application of the gamification model with VR to assemble hydroponic circuits has shown significant effectiveness, with an N-Gain value of 62.47%, whereas the conventional treatment has demonstrated lower effectiveness, with an N-Gain value of 28.24%.","PeriodicalId":13648,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Practical training for beginners includes sessions on wiring and programming. However, the training on wiring lacks resources for additional practice outside the laboratory. Recognizing the potential of mobile devices and digital game-based learning, this study aims to create a mobile game app for practicing basic PLC wiring at any time and in any location. The study also seeks to examine the impact of using the game app on student performance and user satisfaction. The game app underwent expert assessment and received a high suitability rating, garnering an overall score of 4.43. Subsequently, it was employed in an experiment involving an experimental group comprising 18 students and a control group consisting of 22 students. To address non-normal data, we utilized both parametric and non-parametric methods to ensure more robust data analysis. The study found that both the independent sample t-test and the Mann-Whitney U test yielded consistent results, with p-values of 0.009 and 0.01, both below 0.05. This led to the conclusion that additional practice with the game app improved students’ performance in wiring. The user experience received positive feedback, with an overall score of 4.25. Based on the results, we consider this game app to be an effective learning tool that can enhance student performance and the learning experience in basic PLC wiring.","PeriodicalId":13648,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The aim of this study was to develop online course evaluation tools by proposing a new algorithm to assess the success of the provided online courses and address quality assurance issues. The proposed algorithm is based on quality matters (QM) attributes and the use of fuzzy soft expert sets (FSESs). One key advantage of the proposed algorithm is that it incorporates experts’ opinions, which significantly contributes to achieving the study objective. The proposed algorithm was successfully implemented using the ASP.NET programming language. It resulted in the development of an EOC-FSES prototype system. The experimental evaluation of the prototype system confirms that it requires low effort and achieves high levels of performance, satisfaction, and behavioral intention to use.

In this study, we propose a road-aware infrastructure-assisted and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) adaptive routing system to select the most efficient route for delivering data from the source to the destination vehicle, with the aim of reducing data delivery delay. The performance is measured and evaluated based on packet delivery ratio (PDR), average end-to-end (E2E) delay, and normalised routing overhead using MATLAB.

An important application of mobile technology is digital currency, which has gained global popularity due to its blockchain and peer-to-peer mobile payment mechanisms. The emergence of private digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, poses a challenge to the monetary policy of governments. To address this threat, many central banks are developing their own central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) with legal support. China’s CBDC, e-CNY (electronic China Yuan), is one of the most advanced examples of this innovation. However, the adoption and usage of e-CNY by residents is still limited and requires improvement. This paper aims to identify and analyze the factors that influence residents’ willingness to use e-CNY, based on a literature review and a logistic regression model. The results indicate that residents’ awareness, convenience, cost, promotional activities, and the involvement of relevant parties (merchants, commercial banks, payment institutions, and the People’s Bank of China (PBC)) significantly influence their willingness to use e-CNY.
