The Ideal

This study aims to determine student perceptions of the ideal mathematics learning during the covid-19 pandemic. This research is a qualitative descriptive study which was carried out using observation, questionnaire and interview techniques to 36 students of mathematics education class 2020 Gorontalo State University who had participated in online learning for 2 semesters. The results showed that mathematics learning carried out during the covid-19 pandemic was still not ideal with a percentage of 91.6% due to the nature of difficult and abstract mathematics material and there were several repeated obstacles that occurred in the online learning process, namely: 1) teachers were less proficient in use of online platforms; 2) teaching is carried out using only sound (audio); 3) the internet network is less stable so that students cannot participate in online learning. The recommendations for the ideal mathematics learning are: 1) in the online learning process the teacher must be able to master (proficiently) use the online platform used; 2) teachers must be able to design innovative and fun learning by utilizing the features available on the platform or utilizing objects that are around students; 3) teachers can provide learning resources that can be accessed at any time so as to facilitate students in order not to miss the subject matter.

Data Collection Technique

At present the development of technology and information has reached a very rapid level. Technology and information are used as a service media in the government environment which is also known as e-Government, one of which is the service of public information disclosure. The central government through Law No. 14 of 2008 concerning Openness of Public Information, encourages all Public Agencies including the Sleman Regency Government to make transparency in the administration of the state by utilizing information technology. This research is a qualitative descriptive study which aims to describe the reality that occurs. The object of research in this study is the official website of the Information and Documentation Management Officer (PPID) of Sleman Regency with the domain https://ppid.slemankab.go.id then the Sleman Regency Communication and Informatics Office as the organizer of the public information disclosure program. The data collection technique itself is carried out by means of interviews, documentation studies, and field observations (observations). After collecting and presenting data, then the data will be reduced first then analyzed and concluded. From the results of the study, in general the researchers concluded that the Sleman Regency PPID website had reached the level of qualification to become a quality website, however there were still some improvements and evaluations that had to be done by the relevant agencies in order to be better, namely (i) the website was still being assessed as a one-way service (ii) There are still many OPDs that are not ready to implement PPID (iii) data and information are still not updated (iv) lack of responsiveness of services in requests for information.

Weight stigmatization is related to emotional and psychological distress including low self-esteem, body image dissatisfaction, depression, and anxiety; all linked with suboptimal breastfeeding outcomes. This qualitative descriptive study explored postpartum individuals’ recalled experiences of weight stigma during interactions with perinatal healthcare professionals and its perceived influence on their breastfeeding experiences. Semi-structured phone interviews were conducted with (n= 18) participants. Three themes emerged: (1) “Size Doesn’t Matter: They Looked Beyond the Scale,” (2) “My Self-Confidence and Desire to Breastfeed is More Important than Weight,” and (3) “I Was on My Own”— Limited Social Support not Weight Stigma Influenced Breastfeeding.
