Abstract

The concept map is a chart that illustrates an understanding of a particular series. In the concept map, there is a relationship between concepts in a certain material according to the conceptual that is in the mind of the person who made it. This research emphasizes the analysis of errors, namely conceptual errors, by involving the construction of concept maps.The purpose of this research is to identify the conceptual errors of students in understanding the Transformation Geometry material through concept mapping. The subjects were IKIP Budi Utomo Malang students who were taking the Transformation Geometry course. This research was descriptive qualitative research. The instrument used was the concept map of geometry transformation made by students. Based on the concept map made by students, there are some errors, which are as follows.The error of low ability students in constructing concept maps is that they cannot give proper connections between materials and include examples of questions that should not need to be included in the concept map. The error of medium ability students is that they do not provide a clear description of each material. High ability students do not have any errors but they are less similar in giving explanations to each material.

Abstract

Recently, the virtual laboratory is developing rapidly. One indicator is the number of Mathematics students both state and private Universities in Central Java who are looking for references related to practical geometry courses via online between lectures.  This raises concern as a lecturer in adding value to lectures, which are adapted to the 21st-century learning era today by creating virtual laboratories based on Virtual Reality. This research employed the ADDIE R & D model (Analysis, Design, Develop, Implementation and Evaluation) after the product is finished, the next step is implementing and marketing the product in state and private university in the region of Central Java and its surroundings. The consideration of creating the virtual lab is that the science virtual lab product has not been developed much in Indonesia, in fact, this lab is able to display virtual and augmented reality which can increase motivation and learning outcomes. Based on the validation of media and material experts on the virtual geometry lab product, the scores show that the virtual geometry lab product is very suitable for implementing and more than 90% of lecturers and students at the PGRI Semarang University are very happy to implement it.

Abstract

The change in learning which was originally face-to-face turned into distance learning suddenly and simultaneously this certainly caused various obstacles for teachers in the learning process. This study aims to identify the teacher's obstacles in the Distance Learning System in Biology learning at Senior High School  of Brebes Regency during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study used descriptive qualitative methods by distributing online questionnaires to the teachers. The population in this study were Biology teachers at Senior High School in Brebes Regency, totaling 36 teachers. Sampling used a total sampling consisting of 36 teachers. The instrument used is a teacher's questionnaire in planning, implementing learning, design, and learning media, learning technology/application, and assessment/evaluation. The instrument in the form of a teacher questionnaire used has been validated by researchers with expert validation. The results of the study indicate that the most dominant constraint is the constraint in the very high category, namely the planning constraint of Distance Learning System (68%) Followed by the implementation constraint with a percentage (62%) in the high category then the assessment and evaluation constraint with a percentage (61%). Meanwhile, other constraints are design and media constraints by 60% in the high category and technology/application constraints by 60% in the high category. Referring to these results, teachers in the Distance Learning System still find problems in planning, implementation, media and methods, technology/application, and evaluation/assessment. One of these obstacles must be overcome, one of which is to overcome obstacles in technology/application, namely by replacing the easier-to-use learning media, namely GoogleMeet, or Zoom Meeting, where both applications include official applications supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture in subsidizing internet quotas.

Abstract

This phenomenological research produced a Life Skills Guide for Beginning Teachers to orient them to local realities in rural, coastal, and urban schools. Based on the analysis, the life history of teachers reflects grit and resilience along with their external and internal motivations in their choices, particularly in their professional development. Family for them is a significant source of motivation to overcome the challenges and concerns in the educational landscape. The key informants in the three (3) geographical locations demonstrated adaptability or flexibility, good communication, interpersonal or social skills, pedagogical skill, and practicality. Teacher-participants in the rural and urban areas are digitally literate and competitiveness was mainly reflected in the urban areas. Moreover, financial literacy is strongly reflected among the teacher-participants from the rural and coastal areas probably because there are few to none distractions which may tempt them to spend. Among urban teachers, it was noted that they are susceptible to spending their money because they are surrounded with commercial establishments and entertainment centers. Based on the life history and demonstrated life skills, teachers in the rural, urban and coastal areas reflect essentialist, humanistic/existentialist, pragmatist/progressivist, reconstructionist, constructivist, idealist, behaviorist, and perennial philosophies. It was significantly observed that selected teacher-participants in the rural and coastal areas also exhibit positivism that is influenced by their field of expertise which is mathematics and science. Given these findings, the life skills guide for beginning teachers is proposed to help the beginning teachers cope with the actual realities of their teaching assignments.
