The Open Educational Resources (OER) media is used in distance lectures in Statistical Physics to increase student learning resources. However, OER needs to support distance lectures optimally. Therefore, a case-based E-task is needed as an alternative solution. This study investigated the effect of using e-Task on student involvement in Statistical Physics lectures. This type of research is quasi-experimental. This research was conducted in semester 2021.2 at the Open University, involving a sample of students taking statistical physics courses in the Physics Education program. The data analysis technique used was the independent sample t-test, with the data being normally distributed and homogeneous. Based on the results of the independent sample t-test analysis above, it can be concluded that the experimental class has a higher score than the control class, namely the attendance percentage is 100, the discussion percentage is 80.8, and case-based e-task solving is 7.3. It shows that there is a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class. Thus the use of e-task can increase student involvement in Statistical Physics lectures.

Optical material is material that is quite difficult for students because it has abstract concepts. Media that is considered an alternative solution is augmented reality. AR provides an effective learning experience because it displays 3D images so that it is easily accepted by students and makes students interested in learning. This study aims to develop augmented reality media to increase students' understanding of the eye optical system material. The type of research to be carried out in Research and Development, with the chosen development model being ADDIE. Product evaluation is carried out based on test results and product implementation. The population of this research is students of the Physics Education Study Program, FKIP UT, who are enrolled in the 2021.2-semester lectures and tutors for the Physics Education Study Program, FKIP UT. The research sample was students of the UT FKIP Physics Education Study Program who attended several 18 people (from UPBJJ UT Bogor, Jakarta, and Serang and tuweb tutors for the optics course). The data collection method consisted of administering a questionnaire. To determine the level of understanding of student material on system material eye optics, test results given to students were analyzed descriptively. Questionnaire analysis from tutors and students regarding the need for AR media was analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. The sampling technique used was random sampling, in which the entire population has the same rights and opportunities to be involved in research Based on the results of the needs analysis, it shows that 81% of students agree and need AR media to study the optical system of the eye, 72% of students agree that the material for the optical system of the watch has the potential to cause misconceptions if studied without using media. Based on the results of the needs analysis, consists of 3 main topics, namely regarding the structure of the eye, the process of seeing in the eye, and eye defects. The results of the trial analysis using AR media used a paired sample t-test to see the effectiveness of AR media. The results of the analysis of the paired sample t-test showed a Sig.2 tailed value > 0.05 so it can be concluded that there was a significant difference between before and after using AR media. In other words, it is easier for students to understand the material after being treated in the form of AR media on the concept of eye optics.

Natural Sciences (IPA) is a science that studies nature along with its contents. IPA becomes one of the compulsory subjects in elementary school. The aim of this study was to describe problems in IPA learning at the elementary school level in terms of child development. This type of research is qualified descriptive. Data collection is carried out by methods of observation in schools and analyzing the relationship of findings with literature studies based on expert theories and previous research. The results of information analysis and research findings are strengthened by providing recommendations for solutions in problem solving, namely the design of a relevant learning model to be applied in IPA learning in elementary school. The results of this study are expected to provide contributions and be used as a reference in the development and strengthening of the quality in IPA learning at elementary schools level. To develop a learning model which can improve the quality of IPA learning, instructional design teachers/designers can pay attention to the main problems found in this study.

The guidance of career counseling can lead, provide insight and knowledge about the world of work and current issues in facing competition in the world of work. The magnitude of the impact caused by the counseling career counseling program, making the educational policy stakeholders at a university institution consider the implementation of guidance services to prospective graduates who will compete in the world of work. This type of research is descriptive qualitative and aims to describe the results of the analysis of educational policies that have been taken by several universities regarding career counseling guidance services. The sample universities taken in the research activity were : IAIN Batusangkar, STKIP PGRI Sumatera Barat, Universitas Muhammadiyah Tapanuli Selatan, Institut Pendidikan Tapanuli Selatan, UIN Imam Bonjol Padang, Universitas Negeri Padang, dan Universitas Putra Indonesia YPTK Padang. The instrument for collecting research data is in the form of a questionnaire which is distributed to the leaders and officials of study programs, departments, faculties, and universities/colleges. The results of this study include: report on career counseling guidance policy at the host institution, obstacles faced by the organizer, service impact for graduates, and evaluation of career counseling guidance policy. Based on the analysis that has been done, the counseling guidance program is feasible to be applied by every university in order to create a successful alumni career in the future. Therefore, the leadership and all levels of higher education can work together to create a policy for career counseling guidance services at the university level.
