Trigonometry, a discipline in mathematics, is often misunderstood by mathematics learners. To understand Trigonometry, students should start learning from understanding Mathematical concepts. Therefore, this study aims to analyze students' understanding of concepts in the Trigonometry course. This research is a qualitative descriptive study of the first semester students' conceptual understanding of the mathematics education study program at a university in Malang City. The data collected in this study consisted of the subject's work and transcripts of interviews. The instrument used in this study consisted of 6 questions about understanding the concept of trigonometric material. Analysis of the subject's work results is carried out to find out the right or wrong answers. Meanwhile, the interview transcripts were analyzed by coding to determine the factors that support conceptual understanding. The results showed that students with good conceptual understanding could solve trigonometric problems, while students with less understanding of concepts had difficulty solving trigonometric problems. The results of this study also found aspects that influence (encourage and inhibit) students in understanding the concept of trigonometry. Furthermore, this research is expected to contribute to trigonometry subjects' learning based on indicators of conceptual understanding in the Trigonometry course.

AbstrakTujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat kesesuaian pelaksanaan pembelajaran matematika pada prodi pendidikan matematika dengan kemampuan guru alumni prodi pendidikan matematika dalam melaksanakan standar proses pembelajaran. Keberhasilan proses pembelajaran merupakan hal utama yang didambakan dalam melaksanakan pendidikan di sekolah sebagai upaya meningkatkan keberhasilan dalam pembelajaran matematika.  Kemampuan menguasai materi dan strategi pembelajaran merupakan dua hal kemampuan guru yang tidak dapat ditawar lagi. Melalui penguasaan materi pelajaran akan menghasikan pemahaman dan penguasaan kognitif siswa dengan baik, siswa memahami dan memaknai belajar matematika dengan bermakna dan menyenangkan. Pada pembelajaran siswa merasa nyaman dan tertantang, mereka asyik dan enjoy dalam belajar dikarenakan ketepatan strategi, model, dan metode mengajar yang tepat dan baik. Hal ini dapat terwujud salah satunya apabila guru menyiapkan standar proses pembelajaran dengan tepat, baik dan terukur. Diharapkan alumni pendidikan matematika terampil dan mampu melaksanakan standar proses pembelajaran dan menerapakn ilmu yang telah diperoleh waktu perkuliahan, sebagai feed back juga untuk peningkatan kualitas prodi pendidikan matematika. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa umumnya guru matematika (alumni prodi pendidikan matematika) mampu membuat RPP namun belum mampu mengembangkan pada kegiatan inti pembelajaran, penerapan model yang tercantum RPP belum sepenuhnya dilakukan bahkan belum sampai pada evaluasi dan guru kurang menekankan aspek pengembangan karakter atau akhlak mulia. Kata Kunci: analisis impelementasi, standar proses, matematika AbstractThe purpose of the study was to determine the suitability of the implementation of mathematics learning in mathematics education study programs with the ability of alumni teachers of mathematics education study programs in implementing the standard learning process.

One of the obstacles in designing the PISA like problems is determining the right context in order to make the questions make sense for students to solve. Therefore, this study aims to determine the profile of the context level in the PISA like problems developed by novice researchers, students of the Mathematics Education Study Program in one of university in Palembang, South Sumatra, who conducted a final assignment research on the topic of developing the PISA like problems. The level of context in this study is defined as a matter of mathematical models that use situations that are either found in the real world that make sense in students' understanding. Context level is divided into three, namely camouflage context, contexts that need solutions, and contexts that require mathematical models. Document observation was carried out to collect the profile data about the PISA model through filling in the checklist sheet and quantitative descriptions. The document observed in this activity was 43 items of PISA like problems from the four research subjects involved. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the PISA like problems developed by research subjects are still dominated by questions with a camouflage context that is equal to 53.49%. As many as 41.86% of the questions designed were already accompanied by contexts that needed solutions. However, the number of contexts requiring mathematical models is only 4.65%.
