Guru merupakan pihak yang banyak mengalami kesulitan dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran online di masa pandemi Covid-19. Salah satu di antara kesulitan yang kerap muncul yakni dalam hal mendesain pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan pembelajaran online. Kesulitan tersebut tentu berdampak pada kurang maksimalnya pelaksanaan pembelajaran, sehingga kebermaknaan belajar tidak dapat diperoleh peserta didik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali kesulitan-kesulitan tersebut. Peneliti menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian survei. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuisioner online. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh guru sekolah dasar di Provinsi Jawa Timur. Instrumen pengumpulan data berupa 10 butir pertanyaan di kuisioner yang disebarkan secara online melalui Google Form. Indikator kesulitan guru terdiri dari 3 komponen, yaitu: (1) Kesulitan guru terkait penggunaan platform dalam pembelajaran, (2) kesulitan guru terkait kualitas pembelajaran online, dan (3) kesulitan guru dalam mengembangkan desain pembelajaran. Kuisioner menggunakan Skala Likert dengan rentang skor 1-5. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode persentase. Peneliti menghitung masing-masing persentase pada setiap butir pertanyaan berdasarkan respons dari responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada indikator penggunaan platform pembelajaran, 53,95% guru mengalami tingkat kesulitan yang tinggi, 64,47% guru sekolah dasar hanya mengetahui platform whatsapp saja. Selain itu, sebanyak 50% guru juga masih mengalami kesulitan dalam menggunakan teknologi. Sementara pada indikator kualitas pembelajaran, 46,15% guru merasa pelaksanaan pembelajaran online sangat membosankan. Sebanyak 64,47% guru juga merasa sangat tidak baik dalam mengajar. Adapun pada indikator desain pembelajaran, 65,79% guru sekolah dasar berada dalam tingkat kebingungan yang tinggi dalam membuat desain pembelajaran. Oleh karena itu, diharapkan guru dapat mengikuti pelatihan merancang pembelajaran online agar pembelajaran yang dilaksanakan dapat lebih efektif.

The implementation of distance learning during a pandemic era faces various obstacles. This study explores information about how the implementation of distance learning to first semester of freshment students (new students) and what obstacles they face. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. The data sources consisted of new students, lecturers, and learning result documents. The data were collected by distributing questionnaires using Google Forms, interviews, and document studies. The study results show that the massive application of distance learning in the State Islamic University of Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang began in March 2020. It coincides with the spread of the coronavirus in Malang City. The data reveals that, the implementation of distance learning can be grouped into five categories, namely effective, moderately effective, casual, less effective, and ineffective. The six most frequently complained problems were the low quality of the internet connections, the much spending of buying internet data, the fatigue due to staring at the devices' screen for too long, the difficulty in accessing references, the poor communications, and the lack of materials comprehension explained by lecturers. However, these six obstacles do not entirely affect the respondents' motivation to learn. As a consequence, improvements in the quality of infrastructure and services have to be carried out to maximize the quality of distance learning.

Limited learning time in class is one of the factors inhibiting instructional objectives. In connection with this problem, the flipped classroom is considered one form of the right strategy to achieve learning objectives. This research describes the development of a learning system based on the flipped classroom. The study was conducted at SMAN 10 Malang. The research subjects were 30 students in grade X. This development's final product is the syntax of flipped classroom learning in PJOK subjects integrated with the ASSURE model. The development of this learning design has collaborated with the Unit Kegiatan Belajar Mandiri (UKBM)/ an independent learning design unit based on a learning management system (LMS). The validation results' percentage of the learning design obtained a score of 93.33; the media validation results were 94.28; and, the content validation results were 92.00. The field trials' results on the products also revealed satisfactory results with a percentage score of 80.61. Furthermore, the research subjects' learning evaluation results interpreted that all students (100%) could achieve the KKM (Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimum) / minimum completeness criteria value. Thus, it can be concluded that the development of flipped classroom-based learning design is very effective or feasible to be implemented in PJOK.

One of the social reintegration efforts for clients or assisted residents of the Class I Penitentiary of Malang City is economic empowerment. This effort aims to make the inmates have economic independence and are able to interact socially again in the community. This empowerment activity is carried out in the form of providing training on processing coffee beans into contemporary products to support these efforts. The research team used the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method with four stages, namely planning (plan), implementation (action), observation (observe), and reflection (reflect). Analysis of the results of the activities shows that in general, the training activities that have been carried out have not fully resolved the problems faced by the assisted communities. This shows that some of the activity targets that have been set have not yet been achieved. In order to achieve of these targets requires the support of universities that oversee the implementation of the service program. However, the two target activities that have been set have been well achieved, namely increasing the skills of participants in processing coffee and opening up participants' insights about the coffee business/business as well as the opportunities and challenges in the Greater Malang area. Considering the expectations of the assisted communities who want sustainable assistance until a joint business is formed. Therefore, UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang together with the Class 1 Penitentiary of Malang City needs to strengthen cooperation and design further mentoring programs for the inmates.
