Study process in mathematics faces two major problems. First, engineers do not apply directly the problem solving skills of higher mathematics. Second, studying higher mathematics, students get an insufficient idea of its usability. The authors of the paper have worked out frameworks for practical problem solving in mathematics on the basis of didactic ontology in the Moodle computerized learning system (CMS. To determine students' perceptions on practical problem solving in mathematics in e-environment, more than 300 students from the specialties of engineering at the LUA participated in the survey. The survey results showed many students lack basic knowledge in mathematics, therefore they consume a lot of time to learn the basics in higher mathematics and to acquire the skills of practical problem solving in mathematics are less important.

The Way

Mathematics is or it should be about problem solving and math thinking. However, what mathematics students learn in schools is more about procedures for solving different types of math exercises and problems. In many cases, students learn by heart algorithms and words (math concepts) and use them for solving different math tasks. School math is very far from what mathematicians do and, in many cases, doesn’t motivate students for learning math. This paper presents the way we organized the assessment of the students’ skills developed through math research workshops and some of the assessment results. Even though we didn’t assess all the competences the students develop through the math research workshop, the findings show that the students certainly develop their problem-solving skills.

Pandemic covid-19 has a significant impact on the world of education. Changes in the learning system affect the learning process. The problem arises felt by educators of east Kalimantan palm oil plantations related to online learning support facilities. Network limitations and communication tools become a separate¬¬ problem in educating the nation's children during the covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to identify strategies, methods, obstacles, and solutions for teachers in solving problems during the covid-19 pandemic. The research was conducted through qualitative methods, involving three elementary school teachers. Observation data retrieval techniques, interviews, and documentation. Test the data's validity by triangulation the sources .the research subjects of three educators in Teladan Prima Benua Baru and Teladan Prima 01 elementary schools. Data analysis using Miles &Huberman consists of three activities that coincide: data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing. The results showed obstacles, namely smartphone ownership, the unavailability of network coverage for the internet, TV, radio, limited teaching materials, student home distance, student discipline, parental limitations in accompanying children to learn, and time constraints. Teacher problem-solving strategies include implementing blended learning, creating learning groups, regular visits to students, partnering with parents, adapting teaching plans, optimizing electronic media, and utilizing creative media. Thus, aspects of problem-solving skills are essential for educators.

A number of research studies have been done on knowledge, skills and competences in relation to sustainable development. The concept of competences is seen as an essential landmark for orienting teaching and learning for sustainable development of society. One of the most common competencies mentioned in the surveyed literature and most often required by employers is problem solving. To develop an adult needs oriented education program to improve problem-solving skills, the aim of this study is to identify skills and competencies which are necessary for adults to manage their professional life and to overcome challenges of modern world as well as to improve their personal resilience. This study includes two parts. In the first phase of the study, a survey of adult education providers was compiled in four countries: Latvia, Sweden, Italy and Bulgaria. Summarizing the opinions, the main groups of adult problems were identified: family problems, work and career related problems, and so-called general problems (including problems related to decision making), as well as identified problem solving methods. This study summarizes also adult learners survey results in Latvia on problem-solving skills and the needs and opportunities for developing this competence are analysed in details.

Problem-solving skill is an important component in achieving a successful 21st-century learning system. This research aimed to explore Pre-service Chemistry Teacher’ (PsCT’) problem-solving skill after CBL (Context-based learning) implementation with vocational case on petroleum and polymer topic of chemistry. A descriptive study on the CBL implementation was adopted in this research. The study focused on the exploration of PsCT’ problem-solving skill. Through convenient sampling technique, the sample covered a total of 34 PsCT (10 males and 24 females) who enrolled in vocational chemistry course were selected in this study. The data of PsCT’ problem-solving skill were collected through Rubric for Problem-solving skill (RPSS). There were four aspects of problem-solving skill used in this research, namely problems identification skills, information collection skills, skills to provide possible solution, and skills of communicating the possible solution. These data were analysed according to descriptive quantity and one-way ANOVA technique. Three open-ended questions were used to explore PsCT’s view about the relevance, usefulness, and effectiveness of the CBL implementation. There was a significant difference on PsCT’ problems solving skills among petroleum and polymer topic.  The result of this study indicated that PsCT’ problem-solving skill still in sufficient category. Hence, these skills should be improved especially on the skills to analyse the problem comprehensively and make an appropriate conclusion. The PsCT have positive view toward CBL implementation about the relevance, usefulness, and effectiveness. The implementation of CBL with vocational case is promising since it could improve PsCT’ problem-solving skills.

The Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the implementation of the Work From Home<strong> </strong>(WFH) policy. The impact of this policy is to replace the process of teaching and learning activities by using an online learning system. In this industrial era 4.0, the integration of web applications is very much needed in problem-solving learning. One that can be used to integrate web applications in learning through project-based learning. The focus of this research is to study the effects of online project-based learning applications on mathematics students' visual thinking continuum. Instruments used in the form of rubric virtual mind maps, audio-visual and virtual posters are used to observe students' visual thinking continuum. The instrument was analyzed with the Rasch measurement model software named WINSTEPS. This study used one group pretest-posttest design to see the effect of integrating web applications in learning through project-based learning analyzed using SPSS. The results of instrument analysis for rubric virtual mind maps, audio-visual products, and virtual posters on measure person obtained good person reliability, MNSQ infit, and MNSQ OUTFIT the average rating is very good. For the ZSTD infit and the ZSTD outfit, the average value is close to 0.0 so that the quality of the person's reliability is good. The results of the conformity quality of the items with the model studied from the fit order items obtained the value of Outfit mean square (MNSQ), Outfit Z-standard (ZSTD), and the value of Point Measure Correlation (Pt Mean Corr) for the three instruments met good criteria. The results of the analysis of paired samples test from 54 respondents obtained p &lt;0.05 so that the base learning project has the effect of increasing students' visual thinking continuum. Implementation of online project-based learning in mathematics learning is an alternative that can be used to improve students' creative problem-solving skills in online learning
