Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the acceptance, commitment and problem-solving skills training on reducing the emotional divorce and the marital frustration. Method: The research method, with regard to the quasi-experimental nature of the subject, was selected with a pre-test post-test design with a control group. The statistical population was the couples attending the Family counseling centers in Kerman city in 2019. The study sample involved 30 participating couples who were selected using convenience sampling and were divided into two experimental and control groups. Training the acceptance, commitment and problem-solving was presented to the couples in the experimental group during eight two-hour sessions. The educational content was about couples' problems in marital relationships, choosing a common marital value and offering a solution based on it, and identifying internal and external barriers to action based on values. To assess the subjects in both groups, the Emotional divorce questionnaire, and the Marital Frustration questionnaire Completed before and after the intervention. In order to analyze the data, mean value, standard deviation (SD), and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) were used. SPSS version 22 was further used. The significance level of the study was considered to be p=0.05. Results: The results of the covariance analysis for the participants who were 30-60 years old couples with at least five years of marital experience showed that training the acceptance, commitment and problem-solving was effective on reducing the emotional divorce and frustration. While the mean value of emotional divorce for the pre-test was (M=14.33), the results for the post-test changed to (M=11.80). Marital frustration was also changed from (M=48.93) in the pre-test to (M=44.60). Conclusions: According to the results, maybe we need to consider a more serious role for training the acceptance, commitment and problem-solving in the educational and therapeutic interventions related to reducing the emotional divorce and the marital frustration of the couples.

Nowadays, most children play digital games. Digital games, despite their advantages, have gradually eroded the existence of traditional games. Although both digital and traditional games comprise the values of problem-solving learning for children, traditional games offer more benefits in terms of the embodiment of local wisdom. This study aimed at encompassing the influence of Javanese traditional games such as bekelan, congklak lidi, and selentikan on the improvement of children’s problem-solving skills. This research was done employing quasi-experimental design involving 72 school-age children ranging from 9 to 11 years old, who studied at primary schools. The subjects of this study consisted of four experimental groups. Three groups played bekelan, congklak lidi, selentikan games respectively and the other group was assigned as the control group. The treatment was done for three weeks divided into six sessions. The findings showed that there was a significant improvement between the result of the pre-test and that of the post-test for these three games. The analysis results using One Way ANOVA showed that there was a difference in the improvement of problem-solving skills among groups (F(17) = 5.032, p < .01). Due to its superiority, Javanese traditional games are potential to be an alternative media in improving children’s problem-solving skills.

Prospective Mathematics Teachers

[English]: This study aimed to examine the effect of problem-based learning (PbL) with role-playing toward problem-solving skills of prospective mathematics teachers’ (PMTs) who take linear algebra courses. The study was a quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent control group post-test only design. Forty-two PMTs were involved and divided into experimental (taught using PbL combined with role-playing) and control groups (taught using PbL only). Data were collected using tests and video recordings. The test produces data on PMTs' problem-solving skills on linear algebra problems and video recordings resulted in the transcripts of PMTs’ discussion when they played a role. Data were analyzed through two stages. Firstly, the results of the test were analyzed quantitatively using F-test to measure the variance of the two groups, then measure the normality of the data using the interpretation of skewness and kurtosis, and finally, one-tail t-test to measure differences in test results between the two groups. Secondly, the sample of PMTs’ works in two groups and the transcripts of their conversation were qualitatively analyzed to strengthen the quantitative finding and reveal how PbL with role-playing support PMTs’ problem-solving in teacher education. This study shows that PbL with role-playing is more effective to improve students’ problem-solving skills than solely doing problem-based learning. Doing a role-playing provided students with the opportunity to be able to think and speak mathematics more formally in the context of problem-solving. Keywords: Problem-based learning, Role-playing, Prospective mathematics teachers, Problem-solving [Bahasa]: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan bermain peran pada pemecahanmasalah calon guru matematika yang mengambil matakuliah aljabar linier pada semester ketiga. Penelitian ini adalah eksperimen semu dengan desain post-test kelompok kontrol yang tidak setara. Empat puluh dua calon guru matematika terlibat dalam penelitian ini dan mereka dibagi menjadi kelompok eksperimen (diajarkan menggunakan pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan bermain peran) dan kelompok kontrol (diajarkan menggunakan pembelajaran berbasis masalah saja). Data dikumpulkan menggunakan tes dan rekaman video. Tes menghasilkan data tentang kemampuan calon guru untuk memecahkan masalah aljabar linier dan rekaman video yang menghasilkan transkrip diskusi calon guru ketika mereka memainkan suatu peran. Data dianalisis melalui dua tahap. Pertama, hasil tes dianalisis secara kuantitatif menggunakan uji-F untuk mengukur varian kedua kelompok, kemudian mengukur normalitas data menggunakan interpretasi skewness dan kurtosis, dan akhirnya dilakukan uji-t  satu pihak untuk mengukur perbedaan hasil tes antara kedua kelompok. Kedua, sampel hasil tes calon guru matematikadari kedua kelompok dan transkrip diskusidianalisis secara kualitatif untuk memperkuat temuan kuantitatif dan mengungkapkan bagaimana pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan bermain peran dapat mendukung pemecahan masalah pada calon guru matematika yang menempuhpendidikan guru. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan bermain peran lebih efektif untuk meningkatkan keterampilan pemecahan masalah calon guru matematika daripada hanya melakukan pembelajaran berbasis masalah saja. Bermain peran memberikan kesempatan kepada mahasiswa untuk dapat berpikir dan mengomunikasikan matematika secara formal dalam konteks pemecahan masalah.

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (Covid 19) in Indonesia has prompted the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Religion to urge schools to organize distance learning. Because of this appeal, schools and madrasas organize distance learning activities, including MTs Nidhomiyah Surowono, Badas District. However, the distance learning of fiqh subjects is only providing assignments through the WA group and there is no feedback from the teacher. This phenomenon causes the problems solving skills of the students to become low. So research and development (R & D) were done on the fiqh subjects to describe 1) the steps for developing somatic-auditory-visualization-intellectually (SAVI) approach through distance learning, and 2) the effectiveness of developing somatic-auditory-visualization-intellectually approach (SAVI) to increase the problem-solving skills on the fiqh subjects through distance learning. This research used the research and development (R & D) approach Borg and Gall model that combined with the ADDIE model. The testing model used an experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The result of the pretest and posttest were analyzed by the test of normality, homogeneity, N-gain scores, and independent-sample t-test with IBM SPSS Statistics version 21. The results showed that the SAVI approach was quite effective in improving students' problem-solving skills. This can be seen based on the results of the pre-test and post-test in the experimental class compared to the control class. From the experimental class, it was obtained that the pre-test results had an average of 52, but after receiving the SAVI approach, the post-test score was 67. Far different from the control class whose initial class average score was 49 to 56. This is also supported by the mean results of the N-gain score for the experimental class was 33.5513 or 33.6 which was included in the moderate or moderately effective criteria.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the education program prepared in accordance with the Common Knowledge Constructing Model on the 5th grade students' problem determination and problem-solving skills in the Science course "Biodiversity". The research sample consisted of 74 fifth grade students studying in a secondary school in Uskudar, Istanbul. In the research, a pre-test-post-test control group pattern, one of the quasi-experimental methods, was used. The study was implemented in the 2018-2019 academic year and 24 of the students were selected as experiment 1, 25 as experiment 2, and 25 as control group. In experiment 1 group, teaching in accordance with CKCM, in the experiment 2 group, teaching in accordance with CKCM was supported with out-of-school learning environments, and in the control group, teaching in accordance with the Science Curriculum. “Problem Identification and Problem-Solving Skills Test (PIPSST)” was used as a pre-test and post-test data collection tool in the experimental and control groups. As a result of the research, it was concluded that the education program with CKCM and out-of-school learning within the CKCM is more effective in increasing students' problem determination and problem-solving skills compared to teaching in accordance with the science lesson curriculum. It can be said that out-of-school education, which is included in the CKCM, increases students' problem determination and problem-solving skills more. In addition, it was concluded that CKCM and out-of-school learning and teaching improved skills such as analysis, synthesis, evaluation and prediction. When the answers given by the students in the experimental and control groups to the PIPSST open-ended problem were examined, it was observed that the physical, persuasion and political action solution suggestions changed in the experimental and control groups. It was determined that the most and different solution suggestions were in the experiment 2 group. This situation shows that the inclusion of out-of-school learning in the CKCM positively affects the physical, political and persuasion actions of the students towards the solution of the problem.
