This study produced a prototype of Riemann's number of teaching materials based on APOS theory. The student activity sheet (LAM) based on APOS theory was designed to help students understand the integral of the subject matter of Riemann quantities. The teaching materials design process was divided into two stages, namely preliminary study and formative evaluation. In the preliminary study stage, the researchers prepared and designed teaching materials in the form of student activity sheets for the subject of Riemann's Amount based on the APOS theory (Action, Process, Object, and Scheme). In the formative evaluation stage, researchers evaluated and revised the results of the design of teaching materials. The evaluation results in the form of comments and suggestions were used to revise the products produced, namely the first, second, and third prototypes. From these three stages, the first prototype that the researcher designed was revised based on the comments from the validator, namely expert review and several students. The second prototype was revised based on comments from several groups of students in small groups. The third prototype was the final design result used for field testing at the field test stage. The trials conducted showed that the goal of producing a product design that had a potential effect (usability) in the mathematics learning process had been achieved.

Facts that have occurred in the learning process so far that are responsible in class V SDN 9 Labuan stillhave not provided an opportunity for students to develop creativity and critical thinking abilities of students,especially in learning Natural Sciences (IPA) about the subject of "Earth's Gravitational Force". It wasfound that almost all students did not dare to express their questions or opinions during the learningprocess. With the results of teaching experience at SDN Labuan 9 as stated above, especially the motivationand learning achievement of students is too low, so what is expected so far cannot be carried out optimally.Efforts made by the author to overcome this phenomenon, namely choosing "Problem Solving Method" inthe study of Natural Sciences (IPA) with the subject "Earth Gravitational Force", where the class isprocessed into small groups, and each small group asked to discuss the topic taught with the help of LKS(Student Worksheet) after observing the results of an experiment / demonstration conducted by each smallgroup

Covid-19 is an unprecedented crisis that has affected almost all industry players including education. It has transformed our way of life and introduced a new normal to how things are done. As an effort to contain the outbreak of pandemic Covid-19, universities have shifted to online learning. In line with this, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has decided to execute open and distance learning (ODL) for the current semester until 31 December 2020. ODL introduces a different learning environment as compared to the traditional classroom that requires students to be self-reliant in learning new things. Hence, the purpose of the study is to explore students’ experiences in the process of knowledge transfer through ODL specifically for accounting subjects. A questionnaire was distributed to students who were taking the subject of Introduction to Financial Accounting and Introduction to Cost Accounting in UiTM Pahang Kampus Raub and a total of 206 responses were received. The study found over half of the students enjoy learning through ODL but only one-third were looking forward to having ODL for the next semester. Poor internet connection is the main reason found in the study that makes ODL not preferred by the students. At the same time, few features were highlighted by the students about ODL such as the advantage of pre-recorded video to catch up the new material and flexibility for them to learn at their own pace.
