Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan kesulitan mahasiswa STKIP BBG dalam mempelajari geometri dimensi tiga. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif studi kasus untuk mengkaji proses pembelajaran mahasiswa calon guru matematika di lingkungan STKIP BBG. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah 16 orang mahasiswa calon guru matematika STKIP BBG Semester II-IV Tahun Akademik 2016/2017 yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan tehnik angket, tes, dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua faktor internal dan ekternal memberi pengaruh terhadap kesulitan belajar yang dialami oleh mahasiswa pendidikan matematika STKIP BBG. Faktor internal sebagai penyebab kesulitan adalah faktor minat, bakat dan intelegensi mahasiswa yang memiliki persentase lebih dari 50% tergolong rendah dan sangat rendah. Adapun faktor ekternal, diantaranya adalah aspek penggunaan metode mengajar oleh dosen dimana, penyampaian materi oleh dosen tanpa menyesuaikan kemampuan mahasiswa memiliki peran yang tinggi (68.75%) dalam memunculkan kesulitan terhadap penguasaan konsep-konsep geometri dimensi tiga. Selain itu, pengalaman belajar geometri pada jenjang sekolah sebelumnya juga menjadi faktor lain yang mengakibatkan kesulitan belajar geometri dalam penelitian ini. The cause of difficulty in learning the three-dimensional geometry  AbstractThis study aims to investigate the factors that cause STKIP BBG’s prospective teachers difficulties in learning three-dimensional geometry. This research uses a case study qualitative research method to assess student learning process of prospective mathematics teachers in mathematics department at STKIP BBG. Subjects in this study were 16 prospective mathematics teachers in semester II - IV academic year 2016/2017 at STKIP BBG. The subjects were selected by purposive sampling. Data collection was done by using questionnaire technique, tests and interviews. The results showed that both internal and external factors had given effects toward learning difficulties experienced by mathematics education students at STKIP BBG. The internal factors are which suspected as the difficulty’s cause are the interest factor; talent and intelligence where 50% of prospective mathematics teachers are in low and very low level. Meanwhile, the external factors, such as the use of teaching methods by lecturers where, the delivery of materials by lecturers without adjusting the ability of students have a high role (68.75%) in raising difficulties on the mastery of three-dimensional geometry concepts. In addition, the experience of learning geometry at the previous school level is also another factor that leads to difficulties in learning geometry in this study.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is responsible for more than one million hospital visits and causes disability and death in all age groups and genders. Every day, 153 people die from injuries including traumatic brain injury.Methods: We use a retrospective, cross-sectional study design. We collect data from patients admitted to our hospital on November 2018 that was diagnosed and treated for traumatic brain injury. The clinical information at follow-up was also analyzed. Results: We collected 60 cases of TBI, that consist of 35 male (58%) and 25 females (42%) with an average age of  18-39 years. 42% of patients had post-traumatic amnesia. The leading cause of TBI was from motor vehicles accident, which constitutes to 90%, followed by falls (8%) and others (i.e. self-harm and assaults 2%). Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) were examined, and we found 85% of patients presented with GCS scores ≥ 9 and 25% with score ≤ 8. Brain Ct scanning findings showed cerebral oedema (25%), epidural hemorrhage (18%), intracranial hemorrhage (15%), and subarachnoid haemorrhage (12%). Laboratory findings showed an increase of leukocyte count (80%), high segmented neutrophils count (72%), hyperglycemia after TBI (7%), hyponatremia (2%), hypernatremia (11%), hypokalemia (22%), hyperkalemia (17%) and hyperchloremia (30%).Conclusion: We reported 60 cases of TBI and collected demographic data upon patients arrival in the hospital, such as; GCS score, brain imaging and laboratory findings. This information can help prevention strategies, identify research and education priorities, and support service needs among those living with TBI.Â

Adversity quotient is one of the intelligences possessed by a person in managing difficulties into a challenge that must be resolved to achieve certain goals. So that the adversity quotient must be owned by students to face various difficulties in completing lectures. However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, student activity became limited, both in following the learning process and guidance in completing final assignments in the form of a thesis, which was increasingly difficult. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of adversity quotient of students during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research method is descriptive quantitative. The sample in this study numbered 237 students and were selected using proportional random sampling technique. This study uses an adversity quotient scale with a reliability level of 0.924 in the very good category. The data analysis technique used the score range/categorization formula. The results showed 7.2% or 17 guidance and counseling students had low adversity quotient, 67.1% or 159 students had medium adversity quotient and 25.7% or 61 students had high adversity quotient. It can be concluded that students in general tend to have a moderate adversity quotient during the Covid-19 epidemic. These findings indicate it is necessary to conduct a college level counseling and guidance program to increase the adversity quotient of students.

Implementasi penguatan pendidikan karakter di Satuan Pendidikan Sekolah Dasar masih kurangnya peran dari tokoh masyarakat, seperti alim ulama, niniak mamak, cadiak pandai, dan  tokoh masyarakat dalam penanaman penerapan pendidikan karakter terhadap peserta didik. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan penelitian tentang penguatan pendidikan karakter Implementasi penguatan Pendidikan Karakter di Satuan Pendidikan Sekolah Dasar. Fokus penelitian ini untuk mengetahui Implementasi penguatan Pendidikan Karakter di Satuan Pendidikan Sekolah Dasar. Penelitian ini bersumber dari kuisioner yang disebarkan kepada informan. Jenis penelitian yang akan digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan analisis deskriptif. Teknik analisis data dalam penelitian ini yaitu data reduction, data display, dan conclusion drawing/verification. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan Implementasi penguatan Pendidikan Karakter di Satuan Pendidikan Sekolah Dasar. Jenis penelitian yang akan digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Implementasi penguatan Pendidikan Karakter di Satuan Pendidikan Sekolah dasar diimplementasikan ke dalam mutan pembelajaran, proses penanaman nilai-nilai karakter siswa dilaksanakan saat proses pembelajaran berlangsung. Implementasi penguatan Pendidikan Karakter di Satuan Pendidikan Sekolah Dasar direalisasikan melalui penguatan pendidikan karakter berbasis sekolah, budaya sekolah, dan berbasis masyarakat.

Distance learning is the right choice during Covid 19 pandemic. Because of this reason, an appropriate application is needed to support the distance learning process. The purpose of this study was to describe the use of Microsoft Office 365 as an instructional media in learning PAI virtually. This was a case study research which used observation and interview techniques to collect the data. Data were analyzed thematically by reducing, displaying, and concluding data. The result of the study described that Microsoft Office 365 could be used by teachers as an instructional media of online learning during Covid 19 pandemic. The available features could support virtual learning system and optimized the process of distance learning. Therefore, students could learn well during pandemic.
