The initial process of face-to-face learning that occurs at the beginning of the school year requires adequate preparation both physically and mentally for students. Not infrequently the initial process causes stress and eventually triggers conflict, both between individuals and groups. On the other hand, learning must continue and the competency of the predetermined subject does not experience problems in being delivered. The purpose of this PKM activity is to integrate 2 materials in one flow of activity: stress management with one of the lessons, namely English. Activities are scheduled in 4 meetings with seminary students in Rethorica A and B classes as participants. Total participants were 33 people. The results of the activity showed positive results and responses from all participants which were shown from the pretest and posttest scores and the feedback questionnaire. The experience of learning contextual English and awareness of the causes and effects of stress can provide meaningful input from the learning process and self-management for prospective priests.
In mathematics learning, concepts and contexts are required that students are able to learn from real-life environment. However, teachers generally equip students with formulas without being accompanied by the ability to comprehend basic concepts. Mathematics learning will indeed be enjoyable if it is not only textbook-based but also followed by real-life experience. This study aims to investigate whether local cultural context could foster students' concept understanding in mathematics learning, particularly plane figures. Therefore, the research will, firstly, describe plane figures learning that uses the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education approach via iceberg and, secondly, discover students' improvement in concept comprehension after applying the approach. 50 elementary school students participated in the research, which employed experimental and descriptive methods. Further, the study results demonstrate an increase in concept comprehension, indicated from the increase in student learning achievement based on the average score of the experimental class and of the control class (88.40 and 72.91 respectively). Next, the independent sample ttest suggests t-count is higher than t-table, therefore Ho is rejected and Ha accepted. Thus, the learning outcomes of the class using the PMRI approach linked to Palembang's cultural context has increased.
