The article aimed to explain in detail the perspectives of elementary school teachers about online learning in a COVID-19 pandemic condition. This study used a quantitative approach. The subjects in this study were 45 teachers in Banten and West Java. The results of this study indicated that teachers understand the context of online learning, but in implementation there are various problems found, including 1) availability of facilities, 2) network and internet usage, 3) planning, implementation, and evaluation of learning, and 4) collaboration with parents. Online learning help teachers in the COVID-19 pandemic period, but felt to be ineffective, even 80% of teachers feel dissatisfied thorough online learning. This research was expected to be an evaluation material for various parties including education policy makers in conducting online learning, besides this research can also facilitate other researchers to develop research on online learning, especially in elementary schools.

Geometri adalah cabang matematika yang diajarkan dengan tujuan agar siswa dapat memahami sifat-sifat dan hubungan antar unsur geometri serta dapat mendorong siswa untuk dapat berpikir secara kritis dan memecahkan masalah dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesulitan siswa kelas 4 SD Negeri Asmi 033 Kota Bandung dalam menjawab soal geometri. Penelitian ini menggunakan studi eksploratif dalam bentuk tes uraian tertulis pada materi geometri yang diberikan kepada 26 siswa SD Negeri Asmi 033 Kota Bandung. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa terdapat kesulitan yang dihadapi siswa dalam menjawab soal geometri, kesulitan tersebut diantaranya adalah (1) siswa  kesulitan dalam penggunaan konsep, (2) siswa kesulitan dalam penggunaan prinsip, dan (3) siswa kesulitan dalam menyelesaikan masalah-masalah verbal. Hasil penelitian ini dapat dijadikan bahan pengembangan permasalahan geometri, khususnya pada materi keliling dan luas bangun datar di masa yang akan datang.Geometry is a branch of mathematics taught with the aim that students can understand the properties and relationships between elements of geometry and can encourage students to be able to think critically and solve problems in everyday life.

One of the teacher's abilities related to pedagogics is being able to make effective learning plans that are appropriate to the needs of students, to create this it requires an innovation to design learning. Didactical design research (DDR) is seen as a paradigm of learning innovation in providing solutions to the difficulties of teachers in making learning plans that fit the needs of students in the classroom, in addition to that didactical design research is seen as one way in developing teacher pedagogical competencies, this research aims To examine the DDR paradigm in developing teacher pedagogical competencies, the method used in this study uses literature review from various sources, both journals, books, and other supporting sources. This research is expected to provide insights and knowledge for researchers in developing research using didactical design research, besides this research is expected to provide guidance to teachers in making learning designs that are appropriate to students' needs, so that the learning process is created real and meaningful.
