The learning process implemented direct instruction model and the time allocated for the class session was 150 minutes. The learning activities began with the explanation about elementary row operations (ERO) and Gauss elimination (GE) by the lecturer and followed by solving problems manually solving using the paper-pencil method. Furthermore, the solutions obtained manually were checked using the wxMaxima software. Learning activities were then continued to the concept of Gauss Jordan elimination method. Although the students spent much time to solve the Gauss elimination problems manually, overall the learning process went well as the time allocated in the lesson plan.

From the results of simple linear regression analysis, there is a significant influence between free variables (x) UI usage, on the dependent variable (y) ease of UI usage, with R value of 0.732, R Square is 0,535 value, the overall value of R produced is greater than the value coefficient of 0,05. Therefore, the correlation analysis showed that there is a significant correlation between free variable (x) UI usage to the dependent variable (y) ease of UI usage, with significance value 0.000 less than 0.05.
