Schematic representation is very important for students to solve problems in solving word problems. There are two types of schematic representation namely pure schematic representation and mixed schematic representation. The process of forming a pure schematic representation tends to be more concise than the process of forming a mixed schematic representation. So it is necessary to investigate in more detail and in-depth which is more effective between pure schematic representation or mixed schematic representation in helping students to solve word problems. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of pure schematic representation and mixed schematic representation in solving word problems. The effectiveness mentioned in this study is the accuracy and precision of the schematic representation formed by the students when solving word problems. This study uses a qualitative approach involving students from grade IX in Metro City, Lampung, Inonesia as research subjects. The students involved in this study were 60 students. Of the 60 students, two were selected as research subjects representing pure schematic representation and mixed schematic representation. Both subjects were chosen considering the possibility of forming a schematic representation and having good communication skills. The results of this study indicate that students who form pure schematic representation present information and schematic drawings formed in a more concise, precise and accurate manner. While students who form a mixed schematic representation by presenting less structured information, the schematic drawings formed are longer. So it can be concluded that a pure schematic representation is more effective than a mixed schematic representation for solving word problems.Keywords: Representations; mixed schematic representations; pure schematic representations; word problem.  AbstrakRepresentasi skematis sangat penting bagi siswa untuk mengurai masalah dalam menyelesaikan word problem. Terdapat dua jenis representasi skematis yaitu representasi skematis murni dan representasi skematis campuran. Proses terbentuknya representasi skematis murni cenderung lebih ringkas (pendek) dibandingkan dengan proses terbentuknya representasi skematis campuran. Maka perlu diselidiki lebih detail dan mendalam manakah yang lebih efektif antara representasi skematis murni atau representasi skematis campuran dalam membantu siswa selama menyelesaikan word problem. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas antara representasi skematis murni dan representasi skematis campuran dalam pemecahan word problem. Efektivitas yang dimaksud dalam penelitian ini adalah ketepatan dan keakuratan representasi skematis yang dibentuk siswa selama menyelesaikan word problem. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitiatif yang melibatkan siswa kelas IX di Kota Metro, Lampung, Indonesia sebagai subjek penelitian. Siswa yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 60 siswa. Dari 60 siswa dipilih dua siswa sebagai subjek penelitian yang mewakili representasi skematis murni dan representasi skematis campuran. Dua subjek tersebut dipilih melalui pertimbangan mampu membentuk representasi skematis dengan baik, dan memiliki kemampuan komunikasi yang baik. Sebuah tes diberikan untuk mengetahui kemampuan siswa dalam membentuk representasi skematis. Hasil pekerjaan siswa yang terkumpul dianalisis dan digunakan sebagai bahan dalam wawancara untuk menggali informasi bagaimana siswa membentuk representasi skematis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa siswa yang membentuk representasi skematis murni menyajikan informasi-informasi dan gambar skema yang dibentuk lebih ringkas, tepat dan akurat. Sedangkan siswa yang membentuk reprsentasi skematis campuran dalam menyajikan informasi-informasi kurang terstruktur, dan gambar skema yang dibentuk lebih panjang. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa representasi skematis murni lebih efektif daripada representasi skematis campuran selama menyelesaikan word problem.Kata kunci: Representasi; representasi skematis campuran; representasi skematis murni; word problem.

The background of this research begins with the existence of Muslim Dayak counselors in schools who get a negative perception of the social environment regarding the existence of tribal counselors based on the religion adopted. This research method uses a qualitative approach where researchers act as key instruments, data collection techniques using interviews, observation, documentation studies and data triangulation, data analysis results from a combination of all data collection techniques that produce qualitative meanings and propositions. The negative perception of the social environment is the main problem of the formation of the identity of Muslim Dayak counselors that is strongly believed by the counselor, for which Muslim Dayak counselors need good communication skills in conveying their identities to the social environment so that the formation of self-identity can be done well. Overall Muslim Dayak counselors are able to introduce self-identity well without any obstacles based on the religion adopted. This happened partly because of the philosophy of Huma Betang which contained values of tolerance and mutual respect among religious believers who could reduce negative perceptions of the social environment about the existence of Muslim Dayak counselors.

This study aims to explore students' motivation and perceptions in choosing the IAIM Sinjai Islamic communication and broadcasting study program (KPI) and to analyze the opportunities for developing the KPI Study Program. The method that researchers use is exploratory with a qualitative approach. The research subjects were 27 KPI IAIM Sinjai students out of 54 active students with the object of research being students' motivation and perceptions in choosing study programs. From the results of the study, it was explained that students chose the KPI study program because they were motivated to strengthen and develop their communication skills and the desire to pursue several professions, namely becoming practitioners and academics of da'wah and communication. As for the perception of KPI students related to the study program they have chosen, it is a study program whose alumni are needed by public and private agencies and are in great demand but not yet widely known among the public, especially in Sinjai so that the opportunities for developing study programs are very large by conducting a lot of socialization, strengthening the competence of graduates and increase the value of accreditation.

Communication is fundamental and vital to all administrative functions and communication is a means of transmitting information and making oneself understood by another or others, Sanchez & Guo (2005). Good communication skills are very important to ones success as an administrator, Yate (2009). This paper discusses how the lack of communication can affect production within organizations and provides guidelines on how both management and employees can create effectiveness by improving their communication skills. Various methods including surveys, questionnaires and interviews will be used through a descriptive research to generate the information that will guide the research. Person’s communication skills affect both personal and organisational effectiveness, Brun (2010); summers (2010). It seems reasonable to conclude that one of the most inhibiting forces to organisational effectiveness is a lack of effective communication, Lutgen-Sandvik (2010). The purpose of this study is to investigate the lack of communication between management and staff in different organizations. The objective is to identify the causes for miscommunication between management and staff, to investigate the kind of effects that the lack of communication would have on different organizations, to provide recommendations on improving the lack of communication, between management and staff throughout organizations.
