Utilization of NLP-Technology in Current Applications for Education and Research by Indonesian Student, Teacher, and Lecturer

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the use of software that works with Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology by students, teachers, and lecturers in Indonesia. A total of 166 respondents from 51 institutions in 12 provinces in Indonesia have participated in data collection through questionnaires and interviews. Questionnaire data were presented in percentage form, while interview data were analyzed using the purposive sampling technique. The analysis results show that most students are unfamiliar with NLP but have used the technology in various applications. Based on the data analysis, students and lecturers have commonly used Google translate and Grammarly. However, PoP and elicit applications useful for searching metadata for scientific papers are not widely known. VOS-Viewer and Nvivo as qualitative data processing applications have not been widely used. Thus, it is crucial to conduct training on using the applications mentioned.
