Abstrak Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan profil berpikir kritis mahasiswa PGMI UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta dalam memecahkan masalah matematika dasar. Pemecahan masalah merupakan proses mental tingkat tinggi dan memerlukan proses berpikir yang lebih kompleks termasuk berpikir kritis. Pemecahan masalah juga mempunyai hubungan timbal balik dengan berpikir kritis. Berpikir kritis pada penelitian ini mengacu pada berpikir kritis dengan kriteria FRISCO. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Pada penelitian ini diambil 9 subjek penelitian, yaitu 3 subjek pada kemampuan matematika dasar tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan pemberian soal pemecahan masalah dan wawancara. Ada 5 tipe masalah yang digunakan dalam soal pemecahan masalah yaitu: simple translation problem, complex translation problem, process problem, applied problem, dan puzzle problem. Profil berpikir kritis mahasiswa dalam memecahkan masalah matematika dasar menurut kriteria FRISCO pada setiap langkah pemecahan Polya sebagai berikut: a) Mahasiswa dengan KPM tinggi mengetahui fokus, alasan, situasi dan kejelasan dalam setiap tahap pemecahan masalah juga menjelaskan inferensinya pada setiap tahap pemecahan masalah Polya pada simple translation problem, complex translation problem, dan applied problem, tetapi belum dapat untuk 2 masalah lainnya; b) Mahasiswa dengan KPM sedang, mengetahui fokus, alasan, situasi dan kejelasan dalam setiap tahap pemecahan masalah juga menjelaskan inferensinya pada setiap tahap pemecahan masalah Polya pada simple translation problem dan applied problem tetapi belum dapat untuk 3 masalah lainnya; dan c) Mahasiswa dengan KPM rendah, mengetahui fokus, alasan, inferensi, situasi, klarifikasi dan memeriksa kembali pada setiap langkah pemecahan masalah Polya pada masalah simple translation problem, dan belum dapat pada puzzle problem, sedangkan untuk 3 masalah lainnya mengetahui fokus dan alasan hanya sampai pada langkah melaksanakan strategi, tetapi belum dapat mengetahui inferensinya. Kata kunci: berpikir kritis, pemecahan masalah, kemampuan matematika dasar Abstract The purpose of this research is to describe the critical thinking profile of PGMI UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta students in solving basic mathematics problems. Problem solving is a high level mental process and requires a more complex thinking process including critical thinking. Problem solving also has a reciprocal relationship with critical thinking. Critical thinking in this study refers to critical thinking with the FRISCO criteria. The type of this research is descriptive research with qualitative approach. In this study, 9 subjects taken, that is 3 subject to the ability of high-basic mathematic, medium, and low. Data was collected by way of tests and interviews. There are 5 types of problems used in problem solving tests: simple translation problem, complex translation problem, problem process, applied problem, and puzzle problem. The profile of critical thinking of students in solving basic mathematics problems according to FRISCO criteria at each polya solving step as follows: a) Students with high problem solving abilitys know the focus, reason, situation and clarity in every problem solving step also explain the inferences at each stage of solving Polya problem on simple translation problem, complex translation problem, and applied problem, but not yet for 2 other problems; b) Students with medium problem solving abilitys know the focus, reason, situation and clarity in each stage of problem solving also explain the inferences at each stage of polya problem solving on simple translation problem and applied problem but not yet for the other 3 problems; and c) Students with low problem solving abilitys know the focus, reason, inference, situation, clarification and re-examine each step Polya problem solving on the problem of simple translation problem, and not yet in the puzzle problem, while for 3 other problems know the focus and reason only to the step of implementing the strategy, but not yet know the inferences. Keywords: critical thinking, problem solving, basic math ability

The paper explores the effectiveness of a new computer-supported collaborative problem solving educational approach in higher education at a master’s course level. After outlining the technological and pedagogical characteristics of a new digital cooperative environment, as well as the constructivist, learner-centered philosophy of the Daosan Master (Management of Health-care Services) at the University of Salerno, the integration of the educational approach and the technological support is reported and discussed in an exploratory case-study. The authors show that a large number of post-graduate students have been able to participate in a dense collaborative problem solving activity within a relatively short lesson period, working and reflecting on a real problem of healthcare management. This indicates that the experience is effective in fostering reflexivity, collaboration and situated learning in management training.

The Doctor of Plant Medicine program is a new graduate doctorate program that ushers in a new discipline, Plant Medicine, and a new profession, the Plant Doctor. Like anything else that is new, it has its share of skeptics. Plant medicine does not compete with or supplant any of the existing disciplines. It fills a central void left by the specialization of each discipline. Plant medicine does not do either basic or applied research but it depends for it and it borrows from the research done by PhDs of all the related disciplines including soils, agronomy, horticulture, entomology, nematology, plant pathology, etc. Plant medicine is an applied, problem-solving discipline and plant doctors learn to solve health problems of plants by learning to identify the biotic or abiotic cause of any such problem and by providing recommendations for its management or control.

How people typically respond to life's problems is of critical importance, particularly how they appraise their problem-solving skills and whether they generally approach or avoid the many problems of life. A critical strength or resource for coping with life's demands is a person's appraisal of his or her problem-solving skills and style. This chapter focuses on how problem-solving appraisal has been empirically demonstrated to be an important asset in living and an important component of positive psychology. Specifically, it begins with a brief history of applied problem-solving appraisal, followed by how it is measured. The Problem Solving Inventory (PSI) has been one of the most widely used self-report inventories in applied problem solving; the PSI has a strong empirical base, and it is strongly linked to a wide range of indices of psychological adjustment, physical health, a wide array of coping activities, and vocational adjustment. The chapter also provides a brief overview of problem-solving training interventions, and finally future research directions and conclusions. Because problem-solving appraisal is learned, this implies that it is amenable to change; this provides hope for millions of people to bring positive change to their lives through the integration of problem solving and positive psychology.
