1st International Conference In Education, Science And Technology Empowerment of Global Society in Education, Science and Technology Analysis of Distance Learning Difficulty Factors of Paciran 1 State High School Students in Protein Synthesis Materials Siti Hamidah a , Tabitha Sri Hartati Wulandari b a Program Pascasarjana Pendidikan Biologi, Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe, Tuban, Indonesia b Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe, Indonesia * e-mail address: hamidahsiti415@gmail.com Abstract This study aims to describe information about student learning difficulties in Biology, especially Protein Synthesis in Distance Learning (PJJ) at SMA Negeri 1 Paciran. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research. The research subjects were selected by purposive sampling technique as much as one student by considering their cognitive abilities above the class average but had a score on the Daily Assessment (PH) on the Protein Synthesis material less than the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM). The research data were collected from the subject using interview techniques and open questionnaires. Then analyzed through three stages, namely reduction, display, and verification of data and drawing conclusions. The conclusion of this study is that the difficulty of students in understanding the Protein Synthesis material during Long Distance Learning (PJJ) includes the characteristics of Protein Synthesis material which is classified as difficult material requiring high thinking power, because the material discussed can only be seen with a microshop tool. The level of health of the subject is less stable, the way the teacher is conveyed to the subject cannot be understood. In addition, the learning difficulties of research subjects are caused by the lack of internet quota which is vital in PJJ.

Introduction The education unit with reference to the competency standards of graduates determines the minimum completeness criteria, hereinafter referred to as KKM. A student is said to have completed if he has reached the KKM. However, we often find students having difficulty completing their learning, especially in the context of distance learning (PJJ). Suyono (2011) According to him, learning is an activity that has been carried out and experienced by humans, because humans will grow in the womb, cradle, and develop according to lifelong learning habits starting from children, adolescents to adults then into the future. grave. (Akhmadi, 2020). Learning must continue even in any situation, including during the current Covid 19 pandemic. Learning that is possible to do during a pandemic is from a distance which is commonly called PJJ (Distance Learning). Learning difficulties are a real disability in people who have average to superior intelligence but still learn less well, less satisfactorily. (Awal, R. Ermina, S & Rahmat, 2018).
