Pojok Statistik Virtual Improvement: Development of Online Consultation and Scientific Articles Modules

Abstract

With a commitment to improving statistics literacy in Indonesia, BPS Statistics Indonesia built a Pojok Statistik. Pojok Statistik is a collaborative service between BPS Statistics Indonesia and Universities initiated to answer the needs of academics and students for statistics. Due to the effects of the pandemic and the increasing interest from students, a virtual version of Pojok Statistik (Pojok Statistik Virtual) was built to meet all the needs of the offline version. However, the features are still limited and do not represent the criteria of the Pojok Statistik Offline. From the results of interviews with the Pojok Statistik Team, several plans exist to improve the Pojok Statistik Virtual, including adding online consultation and scientific articles modules. Therefore, this study aims to add online consulting service features and scientific articles modules to the Pojok Statistik Virtual. The system development process uses the Prototyping Methodology. System evaluation is conducted by black-box testing and usability testing using the USE Questionnaire. The evaluation results show that all functions in both modules are running and functioning properly. The usability test results using the USE Questionnaire reveal that these two features are feasible or usable to support the statistical needs of academics and students.
