Difficulties experienced by students in learning greatly affect the achievement of student learning outcomes. This study aims to describe the results of the identification of the types of difficulties and the causes of student difficulties when solving problems based on Polya stages. This type of research is descriptive qualitative with the instrument used in written tests. The subjects of the research were 36 students of class IX at SMP Negeri 9 Cimahi. Based on the analysis that has been done, it can be concluded that the difficulties experienced by junior high school students when completing the Pythagorean theorem questions in the school are 1) difficulty understanding the problem 100%, 2) difficulty planning the completion of 40%, 3) difficulty implementing the plan 54.4%, and 4) difficulty in re-checking 76.7%. The causes of difficulties include 1) students are not accustomed to writing things that are known and asked of a problem 2) students are not accustomed to drawing conclusions from a mathematical problem 3) Concept errors because students do not understand the concept of the material. So, it is necessary to improve the learning process that prioritizes learning concepts rather than memorizing. Students must be accustomed to solving the application problems of a material. So, students will be able to solve contextual problems related to the material.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, learning activities have encountered obstacles. One of the impacts was the low learning outcomes achieved by students. The purpose of this study was to improve the learning outcomes of junior high school students during the physical distancing period by implementing problem-based learning through Smart Apps Creator 3. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) used Smart Apps Creator 3 as the platform during learning activities of junior high school students. The research subjects were junior high school students (VIII graders of SMP Negeri 8 Surakarta) with a total number of students was 32 which consisted of 16 males and 16 females. The results showed that the application of Smart Apps Creator 3 has improved students’ learning outcomes. It has been proven that the average test score increased from 73.43 (pre-cycle) to 85.56 (cycle II). Moreover, the N gain score obtained was 0.45 (categorized as sufficient). In addition, the percentages of classical learning completeness were 59.37% (pre-cycle) and 93.75% (cycle II). Thus, the Smart Apps Creator 3 can improve student learning outcomes.

Learning science in junior high school raises many problems found on direct instruction, students learn such activity is very low. Students lacking the spirit to learn science, pretend to understand the teacher's explanations. Students in learning activities mediocre both classical learning and teamwork that ultimately student learning outcomes many incompletes. To overcome this, then do action research in order to improve the results of junior high school students learn science through learning model Think Pair Share for Class VIII.1 second-semester students of SMP Negeri 2 Metro in the academic year 2012/2013. This study time is 3 months. Based on the recapitulation of the data observation learning process and the work of the group, the student learning outcomes can be summarized as follows. In observation of the learning process from the first meeting until the meeting of the 6th, there is increased an activity of students in learning. This happened after learning that teachers undertake improvements at each meeting.

AbstractMathematical learning can never be separated from the arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations. Arithmetic operations that are still widely complained of by junior high school students or equivalent are multiplication arithmetic operations. This study aims to determine the location of students' difficulties in multiplication operations. The analysis technique in this article uses quantitative methods with descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The subjects of this study were 25 junior high students in Lampung Province. Difficulties faced by students is that it is difficult to understand the intentions of the questions which reach 40%, these difficulties which trigger other difficulties arise. These difficulties include unit multiplication operations, tens, hundreds to thousands. Researchers collected data using a Google form web-based interactive service questionnaire by giving a test in the form of 10 story questions and a column of reasons for difficulty while working on the questions. The questions given refer to the level of difficulty, the validity of the questions with the Product Moment correlation technique for each item and the reliability that reaches 0.707 using the Cronbach Alpha method. Obtained 55% of junior high school students or equivalent difficulty when working on the problem.Keywords: Multiplication, Junior high school, Student difficulties.

The objective of the study is to explore on how Sundanese local wisdoms are implemented in civic studies in reinforcing students’ characters in SMP Negeri 3 Purwakarta (Junior high school). Qualitative approach is employed in this study by conducting case study as a method of data gathering. The results of the study indicate that the learning process has been implemented ordinarily through the seven-day at school program. Despite the fact that local wisdoms are not specifically embedded into the syllabus, the local wisdoms are integrated in the daily learning process. In practice, teachers are expected to be able to give insights to their students relted to the Sundanese local wisdom. The implementation is carried out in forms of: 1) Civic studies classes; 2) extracuricullar activities; 3) having meals together, and so on. Those activities are considered as a leading way to reinforce the students’ character.

This study aimed to examine comprehensively the effect of the application of REACT learning models based on the Malay cultural context of Riau on students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities. The research was a quasi-experimental research with Pretest-post-test control group design. The sample of this study was all students of class VII SMP 12 Pekanbaru. The results of data analysis were: (1) There was a difference of the mathematical problem-solving ability of Pekanbaru junior high school students between who learned to use REACT learning models based on the Malay cultural context of Riau and students who studied with conventional learning; (2) There was a difference of the mathematical problem-solving ability of Pekanbaru junior high school students between who learned to use REACT learning models based on the Malay cultural context of Riau and students who studied with conventional learning in terms of aspects of student ability levels, (3) There was no interaction between the learning model and the level of students’ ability to the ability to solve mathematical problems; (4) There was a difference in the mathematical problem-solving ability of Pekanbaru junior high school students who learned to use the REACT learning model based on the Malay Malay cultural context in terms of aspects of student ability levels.
