The COVID-19 pandemic has forced millions of students to stay indoors and adapt to the new normal, namely distance learning at home, placing online learning in the spotlight. However, students’ motivation for online learning and its effectiveness in skill development during the COVID-19 pandemic has not been widely studied. This study examined the relationship between students’ fear of COVID-19 and students’ social presence in online learning while investigating the parallel mediating role of student psychological motivation and cognitive problem-solving skills related to online learning. The participants were 472 university students in Malaysia and Pakistan. An online data collection technique using Google Forms was employed. Faculty members of the universities were asked to share the survey with their students. Moreover, using a snowball sampling technique, students were requested to share the survey with their friends. SPSS Statistics (Version 21)  was employed to do preliminary data analysis, AMOS (Version 21) software was used to conduct confirmatory factor analysis using a maximum likelihood estimation, and Hayes’ PROCESS model was used to examine proposed hypotheses. The results show that only cognitive problem solving mediates the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and students’ social presence in online learning in Malaysian samples. In Pakistan, cognitive problem solving and psychological motivation mediate the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and students’ social presence in online learning. The study found that developing cognitive problem-solving skills and providing psychological motivation could enhance their engagement with online learning.

The environmental problem-solving skill is influenced by many factors, including ecological literacy. This study aims to analyze the relationship between ecological literacy and environmental problem-solving skill in the Adiwiyata school of Tangerang City. The research method that used was quantitative descriptive with survey technique. The number of respondents consisted of 245 students of grade 11th Science from three Adiwiyatas' Senior High Schools in Tangerang City. Ecological literacy was measured by using test and questionnare, while the environmental problem-solving skill was measured using an essay test. The results showed that there was a weak positive relationship through the regression model Ŷ = -18,084 + 0,877X. The correlation coefficient obtained was 0.382 and the determination coefficient was 14.6%.  The higher score of the ecological literacy, so the students' environmental problem-solving skill will be better. Based on the results of the study, other schools also need to implement Adiwiyata programs in order to ecological literacy and students' environmental problem-solving skills could be better.ABSTRAKKemampuan memecahkan masalah lingkungan dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, termasuk literasi ekologi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara literasi ekologi dengan kemampuan memecahkan masalah lingkungan di sekolah Adiwiyata, Kota Tangerang. Metode penelitian yaitu deskriptif kuantitatif dengan teknik survey. Jumlah sampel pada penelitian ini sebanyak 245 kelas 11 IPA yang berasal dari 3 sekolah Adiwiyata di Kota Tangerang. Literasi ekologi diukur dengan menggunakan tes dan kuesioner, sementara kemampuan memecahkan masalah lingkungan diukur dengan menggunakan tes essai. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan dengan tingkatan yang lemah melalui model regresi Ŷ = -18,084 + 0,877X. Koefisien korelasi yang diperoleh sebesar 0.382 dan koefisien determinasi sebesar 14.6%. Semakin tinggi skor literasi ekologi maka kemampuan memecahkan masalah lingkungan siswa akan semakin baik. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, sekolah lain perlu mengimplementasikan Program Adiwiyata sebagai upaya agar terbentuk literasi ekologi dan kemampuan memecahkan masalah lingkungan yang lebih baik.Kata kunci: sekolah Adiwiyata, literasi ekologi, lingkungan, kemampuan memecahkan masalah

Biology subjects are included in science subjects, while students have difficulty solving problems because they are less able to think flexibly when receiving new information. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between cognitive flexibility and problem solving skills (KPM) in biology subjects in class X MIA 1 MAN Kota Tasikmalaya. This research was conducted from October to November 2020. The research method used was correlational with a total population of 3 class X MIA students with a total of 86 students. Samples were taken by purposive sampling technique of 1 class (28 people). The data analysis technique used is a simple linear regression test. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between cognitive flexibility and problem solving skills (R = 0.840; R2 = 0.706). Has a relationship strength of 0.840 and a contribution of cognitive flexibility to problem solving skills by 70.6%.
