Covid-19 changes human habits, especially the learning process. Teaching and learning activities that are usually carried out offline now must be online. The research was motivated by the students' assumptions about mathematics which were considered difficult. Students feel overwhelmed when studying mathematics. When faced with math problems, students often don't have the confidence to solve it. The purpose of this study is to determine the increase in self-confidence of students who get online learning using the CPA approach during the Covid-19 pandemic, both in terms of overall, and Initial Mathematical Ability (IMA). This research is a quasi-experimental research with a non-equivalent control group design on Mathematics subjects on the topic of data collection and presentation in fifth-grade elementary schools. The sample consisted of 56 students at one of the elementary schools in Central Jakarta, Indonesia The research instrument used a self-confidence attitude scale given at the beginning before and after the treatment ended. The learning process is carried out online through the Whatsapp Group, Youtube, and Google Form. The research findings showed that online learning using the CPA approach can increase students' self-confidence better than conventional learning, both as a whole, and IMA. Thus, the CPA approach can be used as an alternative to increasing student self-confidence during the Covid-19 pandemic

Background: Collaborative learning is a learning method which centered on students’ learning process. Although many theories and research results showed that  interactive lecture is better than conventional lecture, but in fact, only few lecturers use the interactive method in teaching and learning process. Literature stated that using conventional method in teaching and learning process does not motivate students to learn more while using the other one (interactive lecture) will enhance students’ motivation. Collaborative learning is one of interactive lecture method. Based on the facts mentioned above, the researcher wants to compare students’ motivation who participate in conventional method and those who participate in collaborative learning method.Method: This was a quantitative research with experimental approach, used posttest only with control group design. This research measured students’ learning motivation by using Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ).
