Data collection techniques using a questionnaire. Based on the results and discussion, it can be concluded that there are several roles of CoP activities in improving teacher performance, among others: through CoP teachers can discuss in construct learning tools, teachers were able to arrange lesson plans for active learning based on analysis of student needs, learning materials are arranged based on various learning sources, using media active learning, analysing evaluation test and conducting assessments according to active learning and student abilities.

COVID-19 attacked Wuhan city in December 2019 where the number of cases increased rapidly, but the clinical information of infected patients was limited. One of the negative effects related is the education sector. COVID-19 also changed the learning model drastically, all learning activities were carried out online. This causes students difficulties in learning. The purpose of the research was to analyze the difficulty factors of physics education students in distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This type of research is descriptive research. Data collection techniques using a questionnaire. Research subjects were 80 students from Physics education at FKIP Riau University. The results of research online learning difficulties come from two factors, namely external and internal factors. External factors include non-current internet networks and very many student assignments. Internal factors related to students' learning difficulties, students generally have difficulty communicating and discussing both fellow students and with lecturers, misconceptions occur, difficulties in summarizing the material, and eye discomfort due to cellphone and laptop radiation.

Today natural disasters are a global issue. Several countries have made strategies in natural disaster mitigation. Natural disasters of land forest fires, smog, floods, and landslides are common disasters in Riau province. Environment and natural disaster phenomena are closely related to physics. Integrated Physics materials of natural disasters can be applied in secondary schools. The teaching materials in general consist of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that students must learn to achieve a standard competence. The purpose of the research is analyze the physics instructional material of natural disasters to build physics modules integrated with natural disasters and mitigation in secondary schools. The method used ADDIE model (Analyza, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). This research in analyze. The define (analyze) stage is done through field study and literature study to collect the kinds of material hat occur in the concept. The scope of the study analyzed the material physics curriculum 2013 high school integrated natural disasters namely particle dynamics, rotation dynamics and equilibrium rigid body, static fluids, dynamic fluids, heat and displacement. This research was conducted at SMAN 15 Pekanbaru City. The school used a revised 2013 curriculum. This research includes qualitative approach research and descriptive research type. The physics that can be integrated are the rotational dynamics and equilibrium of rigid objects, the weight points of objects, static and dynamic fluids and heat and displacement. The material is integrated into the material of natural disasters that often occur in Riau province, namely landslides, forest fires, smog and floods.

This research aim was to test the validity of the integrated physics module for natural disasters and mitigation for middle schools.
