Abstract

Coronaviruses disease (Covid-19) pandemic forces schools to implement schools from home through online learning. This study aims to describe online mathematics learning, examine differences in aspects of spatial reasoning, and spatial reasoning based on gender. We conducted a survey method on 140 participants in one private junior high school in Yogyakarta. Data collection using an spatial reasoning test via Google Form consist of nine questions and direct interview with a teacher through video conference. Data analysis uses descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that online mathematics learning using the Google Form platform can assist students with limited facilities in learning process. The research finding showed no difference in spatial reasoning ability between male and female students, including in each aspect of spatial reasoning. In addition, other findings indicate that the aspect of spatial reasoning that students master the most is spatial visualization, while the aspect of spatial reasoning that is the least mastered by students is spatial relations.

Highlights

  • Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the order of human life, including education

  • This study aims to describe online mathematics learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic, examine differences in spatial reasoning aspects, and examine differences of spatial reasoning in terms of gender

  • RESEARCH METHOD In this study, a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey method (Creswell, 2015) was chosen to describe online mathematics learning, examine different aspects of students' spatial reasoning, and examine differences in spatial reasoning based on gender in online learning COVID-19 Pandemic

Summary

Introduction

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the order of human life, including education. In Indonesia, through BNPB (Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana-The National Disaster Management Authority), the government has set an emergency response period of COVID-19 since February 29, 2020. This setting has an impact on the implementation of social distancing and physical distancing. During the implementation of online learning, the Minister of Education and Culture emphasized school from home through online learning to provide meaningful learning experiences for students (Circular Letter No 4 of 2020). This circular received various reception from the schools
