Get PDFArtificial Neural Network (ANN) can be applied to recognice pattern, particularly at the stage of data classification. This study used a multilayer perceptron backpropagation ANN, an unsupervised learning algorithm, to recognize the pattern of uppercase handwriting on the answer sheet of multiple-choice exams. The application of this network involves mapping a set of input against a reference set of outputs. In this research, ANN was trained using 8000 handwritten uppercase characters (A, B, C, and D) consisting of 6000 training data characters (1500 characters for each letter) and 2000 testing data characters (500 characters for each letter). The result showed that for the most optimal performance, the architecture and network parameters were 10 neurons in hidden layer, learning rate of 0.1 and 3000 iteration times. The accuracies of the result using the optimal network architecture and parameters were 90.28% for training data and 87.35% for testing data

Get PDFThis research was conducted to trace the long effects of psychological interventions, which were provided in the previous research in 2004. The psychological interventions were given to the distance learners of Universitas Terbuka (UT) in the previous research experiments in 2004. The psychological treatments had been aimed to enhance self-directed learning abilities to the first year students of Public Administration Study Program of UT, who registered in 2004.The respondents had randomly assigned into three experimental groups and one control group. The learners achievement had been followed to the first semester of 2007 and 2008. Learnersachievement was measured through regular course examinations. The three experimental groups were tested against the control group. The hypothesis was tested using analysis of Variances (ANOVA). The results show that after a 3 to 4 yeras there was a significant difference in students achievement between the experimental groups and the control group (p = 0.027). In summary, this research proves that psychological interventions that are usually used in face-to-face education could effectively be used in distance education context as well. As the findings show that, after a period of time, the interventions significantly increase students awareness of the need to learn that leads to the increase in their self-directed learning abilities and their achievement
