En este trabajo exponemos un proyecto educativo basado en la tutorización por pares entre estudiantado de la misma edad (same-age tutoring) que cursan la asignatura de Matemáticas I pero en dos grados diferentes como son el grado en Matemática Compu- tacional y el grado en Química. Los contenidos de la asignatura son los mismos en los dos grados pero tanto el estudiantado como los propios grados tienen características completamente distintas. Por tanto, el estudiantado del grado en Matemática Computacional ejercerá de estudiantado tutor y el del grado en Química de estudiantado tutorizado. En las sesiones de tutorización utilizamos el aprendizaje semipresencial (blended learning) y se introducen las herramientas TIC en un doble sentido; con el fin de gestionar la comunicación, distribuir materiales docentes y realizar trabajo cooperativo, y con el objetivo de introducir un programa de cálculo simbólico que ayude a la comprensión de conceptos matem ́aticos abstractos.

Community of Inquiry is a community formed in blended learning. One aspect of the inquiry community is cognitive presence. Cognitive presence shows that there is a cognitive process that occurs in students who take part in blended learning. This research is a qualitative descriptive study conducted on 30 chemistry students in the third year. This research was conducted using cognitive presence observation sheets from each phases of the community of inquiry. Cognitive presence phases are triggering events, exploration, integration, and application. The results shows that blended learning had been carried out in forming process of community of inquiry. The triggering event phase is carried out at the initial face-to-face meeting. Students begin to get an initial overview of the material. In addition students get material and discussion topics to be studied. At the exploratio stage students discuss in small groups simultaneously. The integration phase is carried out during class discussions between students and teachers in e-learning forums. The application phase is carried out at the end of learning as indicated by the development of research designs by students.

Abstract. Covid-19 pandemic had affected in paradigm changing of learning from face-to-face to online learning. It was not easily adapted by educators or students. This study aims to assessed responses from mathematics pre-service teachers about online lectures during the covid 19 outbreak. The research was a descriptive survey design that was conducted on 75 selected semester II-VI of math students in IAIN Kendari.  Responses were obtained by questionnaires and interviews that further were collected, sorted, and categorized base on an online lecture platform. Our finding reveals that WhatsApp becomes the most entry and frequently platform that used in lectures (65.3%), followed by Google Classroom (18.7%), YouTube (2.7%), e-mail (2.7%), Facebook (1.3%), and a combination of several media (9.3%), while Zoom in the least preferred. The obstacles faced by students during online learning were poor internet connection, internet quota requirements, and limited online lecturing equipment. However, the possibility to study anywhere (home, garden, beach, etc.) and flexible learning time is the ease gained by the students in these methods. Meanwhile, in terms of effectiveness, we found some different responses including very effective (1.3%), effective (12%), less effective (78.7%), ineffective (2.7%), and very ineffective (5.3%).  Generally, most mathematics students (60%) responded they want to meet face to face, and only 2.7% of them want online learning, and (37.3%) want blended learning.  Based on these results, blended learning could be a choice in the lecture by more attractive online media.   Abstrak. Pandemi covid-19 berdampak pada perubahan paradigma belajar dari tatap muka menjadi pembelajaran online. Hal ini tidak mudah diadaptasi oleh pendidik maupun peserta didik. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh tanggapan calon guru matematika tentang perkuliahan online di era pandemi covid-19. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian survey deskriptif dengan sampel dipilih secara purposive sebanyak 75 mahasiswa tadris matematika IAIN Kendari semester II-VI. Data diperoleh dengan menggunakan angket dan wawancara. Analisis data dilakukan dengan cara mengumpulkan, mengurutkan, dan mengkategorisasi. Berdasarkan data tersebut diperoleh bahwa platform online yang sering digunakan dalam perkuliahan diera covid-19 adalah WhatsApp (65,3%), google clasroom (18,7%), YouTube (2,7%), e-mail (2,7%), facebook (1,3%), dan kombinasi beberapa media (9,3%), dengan WhatsApp sebagai media online yang paling disukai dan Zoom yang tidak disukai. Hambatan yang dihadapi mahasiswa selama pembelajaran online yaitu jaringan internet yang terbatas, membutuhkan quota internet yang banyak, dan perangkat perkuliahan online yang minim, sedangkan kemudahan yang diperoleh yaitu dapat belajar dimana saja (rumah, kebun, pantai, dll) serta waktu belajar yang tidak terbatas. Keefektifan perkuliahan online yaitu sangat efektif (1,3%), efektif (12%), kurang efektif (78,7%), tidak efektif (2,7%) dan sangat tidak efektif (5,3%). Secara umum, mahasiswa tadris matematika memberikan tanggapan bahwa ketika pandemi covid-19 berakhir (60%) mahasiswa menginginkan tatap muka, (2,7 %) menginginkan online, dan (37,3%) mengingikan blended learning. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut maka blended learning bisa menjadi alternatif pilihan dalam proses perkuliahan dengan mempergunakan media online yang lebih menarik.

The chemistry foundation year at the University of East Anglia is a diverse cohort with a wide range of prior educational experience and confidence levels. A flexible learning program combining extensive online materials intended for asynchronous study and face to face peer instruction is provided. Study is divided into weekly topics. Students are directed to take a short introductory quiz at the beginning of the week, feedback on which allows them to tailor the extent of asynchronous learning to their own needs. All students attend a highly interactive synchronous teaching session which utilises active learning to develop their conceptual understanding. The week concludes with a reflective formative test. Measures of student activity on the online platform and audience response technology in the lecture theatre provide a quantitative picture of engagement with tailored blended learning, while semi-structured interviews provide qualitative insight into the student perception.
