Published: December 2024

This study aimed to develop and validate socio-scientific issue-based modules on chemical equilibrium to enhance students' autonomy and critical thinking skills. The research employed the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model within a Research and Development (RD) framework. Data were collected through interviews, surveys, validation sheets, and user response questionnaires. The module underwent validation by three experts, small-scale testing with three students of varying abilities, and user feedback from one teacher and 20 students across three schools (SMAN 1 Pinggir, SMAN 5 Pinggir, and SMAN 8 Mandau). Large-scale testing utilized a pretest-posttest control group design with 34 students from SMAN 8 Mandau to evaluate effectiveness. The module achieved a 92% validation score, reflecting high validity. Small-scale testing prompted minor revisions, and feedback from teachers and students was highly positive, with satisfaction scores of 100% and 90%, respectively. Large-scale testing showed significant improvements in the experimental group’s autonomy and critical thinking skills, with a high N-Gain of 0.71 for critical thinking and a moderate N-Gain of 0.64 for autonomy. In contrast, the control group achieved only moderate (0.50) and low (0.10) N-Gain scores, respectively. The findings underscore the effectiveness of socio-scientific issue-based modules in fostering critical thinking and autonomy, especially in complex scientific contexts. The study demonstrates that such modules are highly effective tools for enhancing higher-order thinking and engagement in scientific topics like chemical equilibrium. Further research could explore broader implementation across diverse educational settings.

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the effectiveness of simulation and role-play methods in enhancing basic football techniques among elementary school students. A classroom action research approach was employed, involving 28 students from SD Mujahidin Pontianak. The study was conducted over two cycles, with pre- and post-intervention assessments of students' basic football techniques. The interventions utilized simulation and role-play methods, where students engaged in interactive activities to mimic or enact scenarios that develop football skills. Before the intervention, 6 students were categorized as 'less,' 22 as 'sufficient,' with an average score of 63.57, indicating a 'sufficient' proficiency level. Post-intervention, 1 student remained in the 'sufficient' category, while 27 were categorized as 'good,' achieving an improved average score of 79.71. This reflects an 11.26% increase in basic football techniques from cycle 1 to cycle 2. The findings demonstrate that simulation and role-play methods significantly enhance students' engagement and skill acquisition in football techniques. These interactive approaches promote active learning and practical skill application, leading to marked improvements in performance. Simulation and role-play methods effectively improve basic football techniques among elementary students. Teachers are encouraged to adopt these methods to foster skill development and active participation in physical education.

Authors: Sururama Rahmawati , Yuniasari Kurnia
Published: December 2024

Education is crucial for enhancing the competencies of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) as public servants tasked with delivering quality services. To support this, the Indonesian government introduced a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) program as an innovative approach to professional development. Karanganyar Regency was selected as the pilot region for MOOC implementation, given its readiness in digital infrastructure and its role as a model for other regions. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of the MOOC program in improving ASN competencies and to identify challenges to its successful implementation. Using a descriptive qualitative method with an inductive approach, the study collected data through observations, interviews with key stakeholders, and documentation analysis. Participants included ASNs enrolled in the MOOC program, program facilitators, and local government officials. Data analysis was conducted through reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The findings indicate that the MOOC program significantly enhanced competencies such as digital proficiency, task management, and technical knowledge among ASNs. However, challenges were identified, including low quota fulfillment, suboptimal graduation rates, limited leadership control, and inadequate digital literacy among older participants. These barriers were compounded by inconsistent dissemination of information and limited participant engagement. Addressing these obstacles is vital to improving future MOOC implementations. Recommendations include enhanced leadership involvement, targeted training to improve digital literacy, and more effective communication strategies. The experience of Karanganyar Regency underscores the potential of MOOCs as a transformative tool for civil servant education, provided implementation challenges are systematically addressed.
Empowering Futures: The Role of Job Satisfaction Among Marginalized Female Workers in Supporting Children's Education and Community Participation
Authors: Agung Iskandar , Siregar Imran , Herlinawati Herlinawati , Ahmad Abdul Kadir , Capnary M. Calvin
Published: December 2024

This study explores the impact of job satisfaction among female garment workers on their children’s educational continuity, focusing on the role of community involvement in supporting education. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing focus group discussions, interviews, and document analysis to gather data. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify patterns and derive conclusions. Findings reveal that while female garment workers express job satisfaction due to the income it provides for family needs and education costs, barriers persist in advancing their children's education. Economic constraints, cultural norms prioritizing boys’ education, and limited access to resources inhibit aspirations for secondary and higher education. Additionally, the extensive work hours of mothers reduce their engagement in children's education. Community participation is minimal, affected by cultural attitudes, economic limitations, and ineffective policy implementation. This results in inadequate support for educational infrastructure, such as study rooms, libraries, and sports facilities. The interplay between job satisfaction and systemic barriers illustrates a paradox where income supports basic educational needs but fails to foster long-term educational aspirations. The lack of collective community action exacerbates the situation. To address these challenges, collaboration among companies, governments, and communities is essential. Initiatives such as targeted CSR funding, scholarships, and the development of educational infrastructure can mitigate barriers and improve educational outcomes for children of female garment workers.

Authors: Nurfaisal Nurfaisal , Sunengko Sunengko , Abbas M.Fadhly Farhy
Published: December 2024

This study investigates curriculum management at SDIT Fadhilah, an Integrated Islamic School in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. The focus lies on balancing national academic standards and Islamic educational values, a key issue in contemporary Islamic education. The aim is to explore how the school integrates these dual priorities to foster academic and spiritual development. A qualitative case study approach was employed, collecting data through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research addressed the question: How does SDIT Fadhilah implement, organize, and evaluate an integrated curriculum to achieve its dual educational goals?. Findings indicate that SDIT Fadhilah effectively integrates academic and religious education. However, significant challenges include inadequate instructional time for covering both curricula and the lack of standardized tools for assessing students' spiritual development. These issues hinder the coherence and quality of the integrated curriculum. To mitigate these challenges, the study recommends structured scheduling strategies, such as block scheduling or thematic units, to optimize instructional time. Additionally, it suggests developing standardized assessment tools, such as rubrics for character development and self-assessment journals for spiritual reflection, to ensure consistency in evaluating students' progress. These findings have broader implications for other Integrated Islamic Schools, underscoring the importance of strategic time management and assessment standardization in achieving holistic educational outcomes. Future research should conduct comparative studies across various schools to examine the broader applicability and long-term effects of these strategies, aiming to enhance curriculum management in Islamic education contexts.

The article describes one of the results of the annual psychological-educational project "Psychological support by art workshop" organized by the State Scientific and Methodological Center for the content of Cultural and Artistic Education for educators in the field of artistic education. Specifically, it focuses on the participants' practical task for self-regulation of their emotional state.
During the implementation of the educational program, arranged for psychological support and professional communication, various theoretical and practical tasks were offered to professionals in the field of artistic education, aimed at providing effective psychological tools for their own psychological self-support.
One of the tasks during the webinars was an art practice related to the use of colors and symbols, specifically drawing a picture of oneself, which was suggested by the organizers as a way to adapt well-known psychological methods, such as "Drawing a Person" (K. Makhover) and "Self-Portrait" (K. Burns).
The created drawings allowed the participants to present themselves as "creators." Reflection and discussion of the results obtained during this work had a deep therapeutic and healing effect.
A total of 242 participants of the art workshop executed this projective task using various artistic materials – paints, pencils, markers, chalk, and digital methods, choosing from 10 colors and then describing the impact of these colors on their own emotional and psychological state.
The presented material summarizes the results obtained during this experiment.  The description of the data pays special attention to analyzing the use of colors as coping strategies in stressful situations and the potential for further implementation of this artistic practice as a unique means of self-help and self-restoration for professionals in the field of artistic education, both individually and in group settings

Published: December 2024

The article examines the concept of «continuous traumatic stress» in the context of the psychological consequences of experiencing continuous violence and the impact of war. The key characteristics of continuous traumatic stress, its manifestations, implications for mental health, and key differences in comparison with the concepts of post-traumatic stress disorder and complex post-traumatic stress disorder are considered. Given the new challenges in defining the terminology of psychological conditions experienced by people during war, there is a need to specify and operationalize concepts that clearly define them.
The article also analyses studies of the experience of continuous traumatic stress in war trauma and the differentiation of the symptom complex about gender differences. It is noted that indicators of emotional numbness and increased anxiety demonstrated the highest power centrality. The conceptual matrix of differential features of the concepts of «continuous traumatic stress», «post-traumatic stress disorder», and «complex post-traumatic stress disorder» is compiled.
The definition of prolonged traumatic stress is substantiated by the leading scientific empirical studies of this condition in countries with a high level of constant threats.
СТАН ЕМОЦІЙНОЇ НАПРУГИ У СІМЯХ КОМБАТАНТІВ

Published: December 2024

The article presents the results of the study on the psychological atmosphere in the families of combatants. The research indicates that emotional tension in the families of military personnel is significantly higher compared to families which do not have a member in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The study also found that members of combatants’ families exhibit a higher level of intolerance to uncertainty. This intolerance is linked to an individual tendency to perceive unexpectedness, complexity, and ambiguity as threatening, which leads to increased anxiety, confusion, and sense of uncertainty.
A correlation between gender and intolerance to uncertainty was observed: women demonstrated higher levels of intolerance to uncertainty than man. However, no relationship was found between gender and other types of anxiety, such as prognostic or oppressive anxiety.
A notable feature of military personnel families is the transformation of traditional gender roles, particularly the adoption of previously atypical behaviors and responsibilities by women. One of such roles is emotional stabilization. In civilian families, this role is more commonly associated with men, but in combatants’ families this distinction is diminished, approaching gender parity.
The respondents mentioned spirituality and faith, work and study; communication and mutual support; hobbies, entertainment and physical activities as the most common ways to overcome emotional stress. We found some differences between combatants’ families and civilian families in the methods they use to deal with anxiety. To cope with emotional stress, members of combatants’ families rely less on faith and spiritual practices, instead favoring communication and mutual support. They also tend to underestimate the effectiveness of psychological techniques for emotional stabilization and may relay to inadequate methods, such as alcohol consumption, to relieve stress.

The article explores the relevant issue of assessing the moral and psychological condition of military personnel as a crucial factor in ensuring the combat readiness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The authors emphasize that modern challenges associated with the dynamic conditions of combat operations require the integration of advanced methodologies for analyzing moral and psychological conditions that account for both internal and external influencing factors. 
An analysis of contemporary methodologies reveals that traditional approaches in Ukraine do not sufficiently account for the specifics of combat conditions, are labor-intensive, and do not meet the operational requirements. The article examines the main methods of assessing the moral and psychological state developed by Ukrainian researchers, including quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, testing, surveys, observation, and expert assessment methods. 
The article proposes promising directions for improving the accuracy and timeliness of moral and psychological state assessments, such as automation of processes, development of digital technologies, enhancement of the qualifications of specialists in moral and psychological support, and harmonization of national approaches with NATO standards. In conclusion, the authors note that addressing the issue of effective assessment of the moral and psychological condition of military personnel will contribute to strengthening Ukraine’s national security and enhancing the combat readiness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Published: December 2024

The practices of Quranic memorisation are increasingly prevalent and significantly prominence in the Muslim community, especially in Malaysia. Thus, the establishment of Tahfiz Model Ulul al-Bab (TMUA) which implemented at national level was initiated by Datuk Seri Idris b. Jusoh in 2014 portrays as an evidential measure as to realize the inspiration of the government to nurture the professional potential huffaz with leadership skill and competent to lead the community. Nevertheless, this effort has extended to the tertiary education especially in public university in Malaysia as to preserve the consistency of Quranic memorization among the students. Correspondingly, University Teknologi Mara (UiTM) also incorporated Quranic memorisation as a requirement task and therefore, must be fulfilled by diploma students taking the Fundamental of Islam course (CTU101). Unfortunately, the reality is that students are often struggling to complete the task, which takes significantly additional time to accomplish the task. Thus, a preliminary study was conducted to understand the attitudes of the students at UiTM Perlis in the implementation of the Quran memorization of selected chapter and to analyse the relationship between attitudes and their educational setting by considering their respective faculties. The study employed quantitative research and adopted convenience sampling techniques through a survey distributed amongst eighty-two students who currently enrolled into CTU101 for the session October 2023/February 2024. The study includes both descriptive and inferential statistics to explore the dependent variable and the differences in term of between three faculties. The research shows that the students demonstrate a positive attitude toward Yasin memorization for CTU101 (M=3.62, SD=0.301). Apparently, the study demonstrates that there is significant relationship between attitudes and their environmental setting from different faculties at the p<.05 level for the three conditions [F (2, 79) = 9.904, p =.000]. Turkey Post-Hoc were later performed to identify and suggests that students from Faculty of Sports and Recreations shows positive inclinations towards task of Yasin memorization for CTU101 in comparison to students from the Faculty of Applied Sciences and the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics. Nevertheless, diverse educational environments have had a significant influence on students' views towards memorisation of Yasin, specifically for this study. This study requires remarkable attention from relevant parties to ensure the effectiveness of the subject as to instil Islamic values and improve Quranic skills among the Muslim student in especially in UiTM.

Tortious Liability Arising from the Use of Artificial Intelligence Means under International Conflict of Jurisdiction Rules
Authors: Alsalaita Ghazi , Alqudah Dr. Mohammad Saleh
Published: December 2024

The subject of international jurisdiction aims to regulate liability in the context of disputes related to artificial intelligence in relationships tainted with a foreign element, leading to various relationships between the producer and supplier or the supplier and consumer, which may result in conflicts. This necessitates legal protection to obtain compensation for specific damages, especially if caused by artificial intelligence products. It seeks to identify the responsible party for the damage if the injured party succeeds in proving the elements of liability, ensuring compensation. This has raised several legal issues, particularly concerning the legal adaptation of artificial intelligence to regulate liability and thereby define the parameters of international jurisdiction. It also addresses the applicable law governing procedures in such disputes. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical comparative methodology, leading to findings and recommendations. Among these, a notable recommendation is the need for the Jordanian legislature to enact specific legislation regulating provisions related to artificial intelligence and establish a system for compulsory insurance against liability arising from damages caused by artificial intelligence programs.

The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) (2023) states that the population of Indonesia in 2022 will be 275 million people, and 8% (22 million people) of this figure consist of children aged less than 5 years. The child population as the nation's next generation will continue to grow. Therefore, large investments are needed in the fields of health, education and child welfare. The aim of this activity is to carry out early detection of delays in children's growth and development in Sungai Kunyit Hulu Village, Sungai Kunyit District, Mempawah Regency. The method for implementing this community service activity is Child Growth and Development Examination using Denver. The target achievement in this activity is to get an overview of the conditions of child growth and development in Sungai Kunyit Hulu Village, so that a follow-up plan can be determined to overcome this problem. The results of examining children's growth and development using Denver showed that 50% of children experienced suspected growth and development delays and 9% of children could not be tested because the children refused to take the test during the examination. The obstacle to this activity is that the posyandu room is not conducive, so the child does not have freedom during the growth and development examination. Conclusion: The results of the examinations that have been carried out indicate that some children experience suspected delays in growth and development. The participation of parents and cadres as well as village midwives is needed to routinely carry out promotive and preventive activities to improve children's health
Motivation and Satisfaction with Choosing a Teaching Career as Perceived by Students and Teachers
Authors: Pudełko Weronika , Wojtowicz Agnieszka
Published: December 2024

Research Aim: The aim of the study was to identify differences in motivation for and satisfaction with choosing the teaching profession between working teachers and students preparing to become teachers.
Research Methods: The study used an original survey created by the author and a motivation questionnaire based on Deci and Ryan’s self-determination theory, adapted to the teaching profession. The questionnaire consisted of 19 items measuring three dimensions of motivation for choosing the teaching profession: autonomous motivation (intrinsic motivation, integration, and identification), controlled motivation (extrinsic motivation and introjection), and amotivation (lack of motivation). The questionnaire also included two other questions, about satisfaction with the choice of profession and the extent to which the choice of the career had been thought over. The statistical analysis was performed using TIBCO Statistica 13.3 software.
Brief Description of the Issue Context: The self-determination theory (SDT) allows for extensive research on human motivation (Liu et al., 2016). In this context, fostering the autonomy of both teachers and students has significant advantages in terms of educational outcomes compared to control-oriented strategies, i.e., those which rely more on extrinsic motivation (Deci and Ryan, 2016).
Research Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the individual dimensions of motivation between working teachers and students. Among the respondents, autonomous forms of motivation were at the highest level, controlled motivation was at a slightly lower level, and amotivation reached the lowest level. However, it was noted that as many as one third of the teachers were not satisfied with their chosen career and were thinking of changing jobs. Those studying preschool and early childhood pedagogy had higher levels of autonomous and controlled forms of motivation and lower levels of amotivation compared to female students of speech therapy.
Conclusions and Recommendations: Due to the high percentage of people thinking about changing their profession, changes are needed that could increase the sense of satisfaction among teachers. It is also worth designing behavioral interventions that could encourage behavior that supports autonomous forms of student motivation.

Enhancing Interaction: The Crucial Role of Eye-Tracking Technology in Assessing Children with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities in Poland
Authors: Kochanowicz Aneta Maria , Pawłowski Leszek
Published: December 2024

The Objective of the Research: This research focuses on the pivotal role of utilizing eye-gaze assistive technology (EGAT) in diagnosing individuals with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD). The study included six children aged 5–12 with PIMD who do not use speech. The primary aim was twofold: first, to assess and validate diagnoses (certificates) issued by Psychological and Pedagogical Counselling Centres in Poland, which traditionally do not use eye-gaze assistive technology (NEGAT); second, to identify specific exercises from the Look to Learn and eyeLearn software that facilitate the examination of various cognitive abilities. These abilities include visual-spatial skills (e.g., perception ability, visual-auditory coordination, and precision of vision), language skills (both comprehension and expression), and logical thinking (ranging from cause-effect actions to making choices among multiple elements).
Research Method:
 The study employed an action research approach with methodological triangulation, including:

Analysis of medical and therapeutic documents (certificates from Psychological and Pedagogical Counselling Centres)
Participant observation (both open and structured), and
The multiple (collective) case study method.

Sessions using EGAT were developed, and exercises that could be used to verify specific skills were selected. The PCEye Mini Track & Learn tool—featuring Gaze Point & Gaze Viewer—was used in the research.
Structure of the Article: The article is organized into eight sections: introduction; a brief overview of the current diagnostic procedures in Poland; objectives; methods; results; discussion on improving access to EGAT; and conclusions.
Research Findings and their impact on the Development of Educational Sciences: The findings indicate that diagnoses provided by Psychological and Pedagogical Counselling Centres in Poland may require reconsideration. By incorporating eye-gaze assistive technology (EGAT) and re-diagnosing six children previously identified as having profound intellectual disabilities, we identified previously unrecognized abilities in speech comprehension, logical reasoning, visual-spatial skills, and learning pace. The research brings attention to the necessity for standardized tests using eye-tracking technology to assess the intellectual functioning of children with disabilities.
Conclusions and Recommendations:  It is recommended that Psychological and Pedagogical Counselling Centres be equipped with EGAT to ensure more accurate diagnoses of children suspected of having profound intellectual disabilities. The study advocates discontinuing the issuance of certificates indicating profound intellectual disability and instead implementing functional assessments using EGAT.

Objective of the study: Given the scarcity of research in this area, the present study was carried out to examine the relationship between student engagement, life satisfaction, and academic burnout in the Polish academic setting. Additionally, a qualitative analysis was conducted to explore the factors that sustain student engagement.
Research method: This study uses both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. In Phase 1, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between the primary variables. In Phase 2, inductive thematic analysis was applied to qualitative data collected from seven respondents.
A short description of the context of the issue: Over the past two decades, educational researchers have become increasingly interested in the impact of positive factors on various aspects of human functioning (Dewaele et al., 2019). Despite extensive research in the area, it transpires that the nature of the relationship between some variables remains somewhat underexplored, including the interplay between student engagement, life satisfaction, and academic burnout. This study addresses this gap in the literature and delves into the factors that enhance student engagement within the Polish academic environment.
Research findings: The study identified a strong, negative correlation between levels of life satisfaction and several dimensions of academic burnout, including lack of engagement (-0.355) and fatigue (-0.454). The findings indicate that students who are content with their lives are significantly more likely to report higher academic engagement and are less susceptible to experiencing burnout. The qualitative analysis revealed three main sources of sustained engagement: a growing sense of personal agency, teacher approachability, and peer support.
Conclusions and recommendations: Given that the majority of participants reported difficulty in balancing their academic and personal responsibilities, it is recommended that academic curricula should be structured to facilitate a healthy balance between these domains. As this study shows that higher life satisfaction promotes student engagement, well-balanced curricula could not only contribute to higher life satisfaction among the active student population but also positively impact  their academic involvement.

The need for an ensemble classifier arises due to better accuracy; reduced overfitting, increased robustness which handles the noisy data and reduced variance of individual models, by combining the advantages and overcoming the drawbacks of the individual classifier. We have performed a comparison of different classifiers like Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost, Random Forest (RF), Naive Bayes (NB), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and proposed Ensemble method used in the classification task. Among all the classifiers evaluated, CNN was found to be the most accurate having an accuracy rate of 93.7%. This indicates that CNN can identify complex data patterns that are also important for photo recognition and classification tasks. Nonetheless, NB and SVM only achieved medium results with accuracy rates of 82.66% and 85.6% respectively. These could have been due to either the complexity of data being handled or underlying assumptions made. RF and XGBoost demonstrated remarkable performances by employing ensemble learning methods as well as gradient-boosting approaches with accuracies of 83.33% and 90.7% respectively. Our Ensemble method outstripped all individual models at an accuracy level of 95.5%, indicating that more than one technique is better when classifying correctly based on various resource allocations across techniques employed thereby improving such outcomes altogether by combining them. These results display the pros and cons of every classifier on the Plant Village dataset, giving vital data to improve plant disease classification and guide further research into precision farming and agricultural diagnostics.

This study aims to map three main benthic habitats (coral, seagrass, and sand) in Kapota Atoll (Wakatobi, Indonesia) using single-beam echosounder (SBES) Simrad EK15. Eight acoustic parameters are used as classification aThis study aims to map three main benthic habitats (coral, seagrass, and sand) in Kapota Atoll (Wakatobi, Indonesia) using a single-beam echosounder (SBES) Simrad EK15. The acoustic data were processed using Sonar5-Pro ​​software. Eight acoustic parameters were used as input for the classification and prediction of benthic habitats, including depth (D), five acoustic parameters of the first echo (BD, BP, AttSv1, DecSv1, and AttDecSv1), and cumulative energy of the second and third echoes (AttDecSv2 and AttDecSv3). The classification and prediction process of benthic habitats uses two machine learning algorithms, Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM), in XLSTAT Basic+ software. The study results show that 49 combinations of acoustic parameters produce benthic habitat maps that meet the minimum accuracy standards for benthic habitat mapping (≥60%). Using eight acoustic parameters produces a more accurate benthic habitat map than using only two main SBES parameters (DecSv1 and AttDecSv2 parameters or E1 and E2 in the RoxAnn system indicating the roughness and hardness indices). The RF and SVM algorithms produce benthic habitat maps with the highest accuracy of 79.33% and 78.67%, respectively. Each acoustic parameter has a different importance for the classification of benthic habitats, where the order of importance of each acoustic parameter in the overall classification follows the following order: AttDecSv2 > D > DecSv1 > BD > AttDecSv3 > AttSv1 > AttDecSv1 > BP. Overall, using more acoustic parameters can significantly improve the accuracy of benthic habitat mapsinput, including depth (D), five acoustic parameters of the first echo (BD, BP, AttSv1, DecSv1, and AttDecSv1) and cumulative energy of the second and third echoes (AttDecSv2 and AttDecSv3). The classification and prediction process of benthic habitats uses two machine learning algorithms, namely Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The study results show that using eight acoustic parameters produces a more accurate benthic habitat map than using only two main SBES parameters (as in the RoxAnn system: roughness and hardness indices). The RF and SVM algorithms produce benthic habitat maps with the highest accuracy of 79.33% and 78.67%, respectively.
