This condition has an impact on school closures, students learn from… m home and teachers teach from home. The condition of the Covid-19 pandemic as a new era of Distance Learning. Distance Learning with online/offline/hybrid learning modes as an effort to provide educational services to students. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the management of learning strategies in elementary schools during the Covid-19 pandemic to maintain the quality of education. The policy that underlies this research is the Decree of the Minister of Education and Culture Number 719/P/2020 concerning Guidelines for Implementing Curriculum in Education Units in Special Conditions. This research is based on George R. Terry's Theory of Management Functions, according to him “There are 4 management functions, which in the management world are known as POAC; Namely: planning, organizing, actuating and controlling. The approach in this research is a qualitative approach, with a case study type of research method. The research was conducted at Sirnagalih State Elementary School and Al Azhar Syifa Budi Parahyangan Elementary School (ASBP) West Bandung Regency with the research subjects being students. Research results: 1) Schools implement learning strategy management by preparing program plans (materials, strategies, assessments) that are adapted to the Emergency Curriculum and synergize with related parties to carry out learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. 2) Schools have carried out efforts to maintain the quality of education during the Covid-19 pandemic but have not been optimal. This is evidenced by the vast differences between one school and another. On the one hand, there are schools that implement very good distance learning with learning programs and strategies during the Covid-19 pandemic that are well planned by organizing human resources by conducting in-house training, but in other schools distance learning is carried out simply because schools have not establish learning policy guidelines during the Covid-19 pandemic. 3) Implementation of elementary school learning during the Covid-19 pandemic with online/offline/hybrid learning modes. 4) There are several obstacles in primary school learning during the Covid-19 pandemic, including the limitations of studying the Emergency Curriculum with studies on the selection of Core Competencies and Basic Competencies, the fulfillment of facilities and infrastructure, the condition of teachers who when carrying out learning still refers to student books as learning resources. 5) There are solutions to overcome obstacles including schools being required to improve teacher competence to be technology literate, designing adaptive curricula and facilitating adequate infrastructure, as well as Hybrid Learning with visiting teachers (Jarunjung). The conclusion of this study is that the management of learning strategies in elementary schools during the Covid-19 pandemic to maintain the quality of education has been attempted by implementing Distance Learning both online/offline/hybrid learning, but the results have not been optimal.

Abstract: Perkembangan teknologi digital memberikan pengaruh besar terhadap proses pembelajaran, termasuk dalam Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI). Media sosial yang awalnya digunakan sebagai sarana komunikasi dan hiburan kini berkembang… g menjadi sumber belajar yang interaktif, fleksibel, dan mudah diakses oleh peserta didik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis optimalisasi penggunaan media sosial sebagai sumber belajar Pendidikan Agama Islam di era digital serta mendeskripsikan manfaat dan tantangan penggunaannya dalam proses pembelajaran. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi literatur melalui pengkajian berbagai jurnal, artikel ilmiah, dan sumber referensi yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa platform seperti YouTube, Instagram, dan TikTok mampu meningkatkan minat belajar, mempermudah akses materi keagamaan, serta mendukung pembelajaran PAI yang lebih inovatif dan komunikatif. Namun, penggunaannya juga menghadapi beberapa tantangan, seperti penyebaran informasi yang tidak valid, rendahnya literasi digital, dan potensi distraksi dalam belajar. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pendampingan dan pengawasan agar penggunaan media sosial dapat mendukung pembelajaran PAI secara efektif dan bertanggung jawab di era digital.   The development of digital technology has a significant impact on the learning process, including in Islamic Religious Education (PAI).

Analysis Error Student In Learning Geometry As Base Understanding Non-Euclidean Geometry : An Overview Literature Based on Newman's Error Analysis

Siregar, Dosta Ernauli, Purba, Lasvina Br., Chyntia, Jesica Dhea, Fauzi, KMS Muhammad Amin
Abstract: This study aims to identify the dominant error patterns of students in geometry learning based on Newman's Error Analysis (NEA) and to examine their implications for readiness to understand Non-Euclidean Geometry. The method… thod employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 10 empirical articles published between 2019 and 2026. Data were extracted based on the five stages of NEA — reading, comprehension, transformation, process skill, and encoding — and subsequently analyzed through narrative synthesis, percentage comparison, and descriptive effect size. The results indicate that comprehension errors and encoding errors are the most dominant categories, with the highest percentages of 56.92% and 50%, respectively, followed by transformation errors, which consistently fall within a moderate effect range (20–40%), while reading errors and process skill errors are classified as low. The primary causes of errors include weak understanding of geometric concepts, inability in spatial visualization, limited mathematical language, and lack of procedural precision. The findings contribute as a diagnostic foundation for designing more effective geometry learning, while simultaneously serving as a conceptual bridge toward higher-level geometry
