<![CDATA[Objective: Game-Based Learning (GBL) is an e-learning platform that drives learning. It can be used as an additional option for teachers because it integrates the learning process with the experience of playing games that can be done anywhere and anytime. The distance learning or online learning set by the government during the COVID-19 pandemic could not support learning. Obstacles faced by students resulted in a decrease in achievement due to the inaccuracy of the strategies and learning methods used by the teacher during the learning process. This study aimed to determine the role and usefulness of the GBL method during the pandemic. Method: The research method used is a qualitative literature review method with fifteen main articles as a reference. Result: The results of the study found that the role of GBL during the pandemic is to fun learning, increase interest in learning, increase student motivation, improving student learning outcomes, improving mastery of learning, improve student cognitive ability, increase student activity, boosting creativity, improve concept understanding & knowledge, practice digital literacy, and practice self-efficacy. Novelty: GBL method is essential and plays a significant role in learning during the pandemic. The advantage it has can be used to improve student achievement, primarily when online learning is implemented. However, in the process, parental supervision is still needed so students can avoid game addiction.]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: This study aims to identify the level of scientific reasoning skills of students. Method: The type of research used is descriptive quantitative. The subjects of this study were 10th-grade students at 1st State SHS Menganti. The test given is five questions, each of which includes four indicators of scientific reasoning skills: theoretical reasoning, correlational reasoning, proportional reasoning, and probabilistic reasoning. The research method used is a preliminary study through reviews, determining research objectives, developing research instruments, validating instruments, collecting data, and analyzing and interpreting data. Results: The results of the research conducted show that the level of students' scientific reasoning skills in the theoretical reasoning pattern is quite good because they can interpret the existing theory with the data on the problem. Students' scientific reasoning skills in the correlational reasoning pattern still need to improve because only one student can answer questions at level 5. Students' scientific reasoning skills in the proportional reasoning pattern still need to improve because only one student's answer reaches the level 4 Ratio (R). The students' scientific reasoning skills in the probabilistic reasoning pattern still need to improve because only three are at level 3. Novelty: With this research, it is hoped to provide information about the importance of training students' scientific reasoning skills. Scientific reasoning skills are essential and related to science education (not only in scientific contexts but also in everyday life).]]>

<![CDATA[Objective: This research aims to describe the decision-making profile of mathematics teachers in designing mathematical assignments based on teaching experience. Method: The subjects of this study were mathematics teachers in junior high school education units with a bachelor's degree in mathematics education, including one senior teacher (ST) and one novice teacher (NT). The researcher used a task sheet for making a mathematical task design (TSMTD) and an interview guide as instruments for data collection. Results: The results showed that both novice and senior teachers identified problems by mentioning known information, but novice teachers tended to modify textbook assignments as materials for designing questions. In collecting information, beginner and senior teachers compared ideas from previous experiences, but senior teachers considered the context of the questions to be designed. Beginner teachers submitted problems by raising the theme of comparing values and transforming values with different resolution processes, while senior teachers considered several contexts and chose multiple alternative solutions. Both beginner and senior teachers checked all the questions designed and assessed the feasibility of the solutions generated from the task. Novelty: This research contributes to the understanding of the decision-making profile of mathematics teachers in designing assignments based on their teaching experience, highlighting the differences between novice and senior teachers in terms of problem identification, information collection, problem submission, and checking of designed questions.]]>
