Partners of the Community Partnership Program (PKM) are the SD Teachers Working Group (KKG) Cluster I Region. Problems faced by partner groups: 1). The mastery of the teachers / KKG members on the material and discussion of math and science Olympiad questions is still low. 2) The elementary school teachers in the cluster I areas were generally D2 and S1 PGSD alumni, where at the time they were studying only basic mathematics and science material, which had a low level of abstraction. This causes teachers / KKG members in the region to often misunderstand the basic concepts of mathematics and science. 3). In addition, references that can be used as enrichment materials are also lacking, and 4). Available sources to ask questions about the mathematics and science Olympiad material are also lacking, because the South Banawa sub-district is located in the border area of ​​the provinces of Central Sulawesi and West Sulawesi. The goal of PKM is to improve the ability of elementary school teachers to solve math and science Olympiad questions, so that later they can guide students who will take part in the district, provincial and national level Olympiad. The expected output target in PKM activities is that at least 5 KKG members in the cluster I region can work on the 2019 city level Olympic questions, so that they can guide their students to qualify for the provincial level selection. After this activity is completed, the participants are expected to be able to pass on their knowledge to other fellow teachers. The book is the result of discussion of Olympic questions at the city and provincial levels, the work of the regional KKG members to be used as one of the future references. To achieve this target, the method used in this PKM activity is to provide training on material and discussion of mathematics and science Olympiad questions, basic concepts of mathematics and science which are important and support for following mathematics and science materials which require higher analysis. Provide assistance to ensure the material presented to partners can be implemented properly so that the results obtained can reach the target.

Abstrak: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan secara rinci karakteristik kemampuan guru dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran berbasis kurikulum 2013. Kemampuan guru dalam melakukan pembelajaran berbasis kurikulum 2013 difokuskan pada proses pembelajaran divergen dan konvergen. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah guru matematika yang sudah berpengalaman dan guru pemula di Kota Palu. Teknik pengambilan subjek penelitian ini menggunakan purposive sampling, karena banyaknya subjek penelitian tergantung pada keadaan data dari lapangan. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara merekam pelaksanaan pembelejaran di kelas yang berbasis kurikulum 2013. Berdasarkan hasil observasi pada dokumentasi tersebut, lalu subjek penelitian diwawancara secara mendalam untuk mengungkap karakteristik kemampuan guru dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran berbasis kurikulum 2013. Hasil wawancara didokumentasikan dengan menggunakan handycam, voice record, dan kamera digital. Untuk menentukan kredibilitas data dilakukan beberapa hal, yaitu (1) dilakukan uji triangulasi, (2) mengadakan member-check, (3) meningkatkan ketekunan dan perpanjangan pengamatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar guru belum mampu melaksanakan pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan kurikulum 2013. Peneliti juga mengungkapkan bahwa karakteristik kemampuan guru dalam melakukan pembelajaran berbasis kurikulum 2013 lebih menekankan pada proses pembelajaran konvergen dibandingkan divergen.   Kata Kunci: Karakteristik Kemampuan Guru, Guru Matematika SMP, Kurikulum 2013

The partners of this Community Partnership Program were the Elementary School Teachers Working Group ofclusters I and II, District of Banawa Selatan. Problem faced by the partners was that members of the Teachers Working Groupstill had difficulties in developing professions, writing, and publishing scientific papers, especially Classroom Action Research(CAR). The problem was including a) designing CAR implementation (determining ways of problem identification, choosingand formulation topic and title of the CAR), b) applying learning models in the CAR implementation, c) determining librarysearch techniques, d) making research instruments and data presentation techniques, determining techniques of datacollection, analysis, and interpretation in the CAR activities and e) determining CAR reporting techniques. The objective ofthis study was to improve teachers’ activities in arranging scientific works, especially the Classroom Action Research that canbe taken as a way to improve teachers’ professionalism compet ence. Methods used in the study were holding training andworkshop of CAR implementation, making research instruments, processing and analizing data found by the research.Furthermore, what was done was to assist partners in the preparation of and publication CAR reports and in processing CARresearch results data in the form of scientific articles and published in ISBN journals or scientific seminarsat national level.The workshop and training in the preparation and publication of scientific works were very beneficial for the TeachersWorking Group in Banawa Selatan region which had been difficult to meet the promotion requirements in the field ofscientific writing. In the application of the article preparation practice, three members of the Teachers Working Group in theBanawa SelatanDistrict have made Classroom Action Research reports, processed data and written in scientific articles

This study aims to describe the problem solving of FI and FD students in solving social arithmetic problems. Subjects in the study were obtained based on the results of the Group Embedded Figure Test cognitive style test developed by Witkin at SMPN 4 Palu. The results showed that FI subjects were able to: identify what was known and what was asked, make a problem-solving plan and would use the "profit formula" to determine answers, implement a structured problem-solving plan, according to a plan that had been prepared previously and be able to apply knowledge so that they can solve the problem correctly, and check the answers again by using the "purchase price formula". While FD can identify what is known and what is being asked by reading the questions and using the question mark symbol, making a problem-solving plan by first looking for the "remaining and selling price" that is not yet known, then looking for the "overall selling price" by adding up " selling price" that has been obtained and using the "profit formula" to get an answer but still unsure of the formula he will use, using problem-solving strategies according to what is planned, and re-examining the answers by rereading and checking the answers step by step.
