This article examines high school students' engagement in a set of trigonometry problems. Students completed this task independently in an online environment with access to Internet search engines, online textbooks, and YouTube videos. The findings imply that students have the resourcefulness to solve procedure-based mathematics problems in an online environment without formal instruction. This article suggests that self-directed online learning could be more effective for solving procedure-based problems than multi-step problems. Moreover, to be successful in online learning environments, students may need training to improve keyword searching skill and their ability to utilize various online learning tools.

This development research aims to develop online physics learning tools based on guided discovery models for high school grade X students with momentum and impulse material and test the feasibility of Physics online learning tools through validator assessments (material experts, material experts) and limited trials by students' responses. Physics online learning tools developed in the syllabus, lesson plans, student worksheets, handouts, and learning media. The average score of validation assessment for the syllabus is 4.81, the lesson plan is 4.72, the student worksheet is 4.64, the handout is 4.57, the media is 4.76, and the media material is 4.66. All in categorized as very worthy. In this study, a limited trial was conducted for 27 students divided into three groups. The average score results student on worksheet one is 4.06, worksheet two is 3.98, and worksheet three is 3.87. All in with categories worthy. The average score result of handout one is 4.04, handout two is 3.96, and handout three is 4.01. All in with worthy category. The results obtained from the Physics online learning tool based on guided discovery models are appropriate for online learning on momentum and impulse material for grade X high school students.

During the academic year 2007-2008, a hybrid online course was piloted at Lakeview High School in Battle Creek, Michigan. The course was created in response to a newly mandated Michigan Department of Education online learning graduation requirement. Blackboard Learning Management System was utilized for instruction. The curricular focus was information literacy. Students included 11th and 12th graders who also gained real world library work experience. In the new online learning environment, library media specialists are creating an infrastructure to support the dynamic and evolving ways that students and teachers use information resources.

This article describes the following phenomenon: Gifted high school students trained in solving Olympiad-style mathematics problems experienced conflict between their conceptions of effectiveness and elegance (the EEC). This phenomenon was observed while analyzing clinical task-based interviews that were conducted with three members of the Israeli team participating in the International Mathematics Olympiad. We illustrate how the conflict between the students’ conceptions of effectiveness and elegance is reflected in their geometrical problem solving, and analyze didactical and epistemological roots of the phenomenon.

This research aims to analyze high school students’ creative thinking in solving mathematical problems based on learning motivation during online learning. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. Five tenth grade students with different levels of learning motivation during online learning, each of which is a representative of the very good and good learning motivation group were chosen to be the subjects of this research. The instruments used in this research were an learning motivation questionnaire during online learning to measure the level of student learning motivation during online learning, mathematics problems to test students’ creative thinking, and interview guidelines. The data on the results of the learning motivation questionnaire during online learning were analyzed using the Likert scale, the data on the results of the creative thinking test were analyzed based on components of creative thinking fluency, flexibility, novelty and the interview data were analyzed using the Analysis Interactive method from Miles and Huberman. The results of this study indicate that not all students with very good levels of motivation during online learning meet the components of creative thinking fluency, flexibility, and novelty. Students with a good level of motivation during online learning meet the creative thinking component, namely fluency.

Online learning is a basic need of education in the 21st century. The benefits of online learning are felt in the continuity of education during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to examine the impact of online learning on the learning motivation of Junior High School students. The results of the research discussion indicate that online learning has advantages, namely 1) as a medium to encourage independent learning; 2) as an effort to modernize the concept of education in the 21st century; 3) increasing the intensity of the interaction between teachers and students; 3) allows for an interaction that is not limited to space and time, and 4) meaningful learning. The impact of online learning on student learning motivation tends to be negative due to the unpreparedness of various parties, including teachers, parents, students, and schools. Early adolescents who need direct guidance, direction, and motivation must lose control due to reduced direct interaction with the teacher. The monotonous implementation of online learning, lack of direction and supervision, pressure for students to study from home, and low teacher innovation are the main causes of decreased learning motivation due to online learning.

E-Readiness is the level of readiness that a person needs to understand and apply information and communication technology. E-Readiness can also be interpreted as readiness to sort, interpret, and process digital knowledge. E-Readiness is very important for students to be able to take part in online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to describe the level of E-Readiness in learning biology for high school students in West Lombok Regency in participating in online learning of biology subjects. This study uses a quantitative descriptive research method. The instrument used to obtain student E-Readiness data is the E-Readiness questionnaire. Data collection was carried out using a survey technique by distributing questionnaires using the google form application. The number of respondents who filled out the questionnaire was 622 students. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistical analysis techniques that refer to the An Integration Information Rich E-Readiness Assessment Tool evaluation model. Data analysis using the evaluation model was carried out on each indicator of the E-readiness segment. The results of data analysis found that: (1) Enterprise E-Readiness segment 79.88% ready; (2) ICT readiness segment 82.96 ready; (3) Human resources readiness 83.88 ready, 4. Information readiness segment, 70.72% ready, and 5. External environment readiness 84.42% is ready. From the data analysis, it was found that the E-Readiness of studying biology for high school students was 3.1% Very Unprepared, 16.4% Unprepared, 54.9% Ready, and 25.6% Very Ready. On average 80.5% of high school students have good skills in using information and communication technology. Thus, it can be concluded that an average of 80.5% of students' E-Readiness in learning biology had a good level of readiness, and 19.5% did not yet have a readiness level to participate in online biology learning in West Lombok Regency
