The Correlation of Playing Role-playing Games and Students\u27 Reading Comprehension of Narrative Text

This research investigates the correlation of playing Role-Playing Games and students\u27 reading comprehension of narrative text. Thirty (30) ninth grade students who play Role-Playing Games participated in this study. Their frequency in playing Role-Playing Games and their ability in reading comprehension of narrative text are analyzed by using correlation research design. Correlation research design was used in this study in order to find out the tendency of relation between students\u27 frequency in playing role-playing game and their reading comprehension in narrative text. Creswell (2012, p. 338) states that correlation is a statistical test to determine the tendency or pattern between two variables or two sets of data to vary consistently. The result shows that the correlation degree between both variables is at the point of 0.687. It can be categorized as positive strong relationship, which means that students who play Role-Playing Games have a tendency to get higher score in reading comprehension of narrative text. From the findings, it is recommended that Role-Playing Games can be used as a media to teach narrative text to the students

Analisis Tingkat Pemahaman Mahasiswa Terhadap Pernyataan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan Syariah Psak-syariah

Sharia financial industries have grown rapidly in the last one decade. It causes the need of arranging sharia accounting standard and human resources who understand the context of sharia based business becomes urgently required. Universities conducting high education services provide the students to meet the need of sharia financial industries.

Model Pengamanan End-to-End Pada M-Banking Berbasis Algoritma Kurva Hyper Elliptic

. Currently, banking transactions using mobile banking has grown rapidly. The increasing the number of mobile application users becomes one of the main factors. Several approaches have been developed to improve the transaction security. Problems of message security still requires a solution to achieve computing speed and leverage security level. In this paper, we propose a security algorithms used to improve the mobile banking security with hyperelliptic curve algorithm. It will create a safe and an efficient transactions while message will be sent via public internet. Hyperelliptic curve algorithm will run a processes for authentication and encryption. it will produce fast computation and has good security level. This research produced little computing time on m-banking application while it run on Android. Hyperelliptic curve algorithm use a smaller key to achieve a good security level at m-banking application
