Abstract

This study aims to describe the ability of pre-service mathematics teachers to design questions related to contextual problems of the Covid-19 Pandemic. This research is a qualitative-descriptive study involving 33 pre-service mathematics teacher at IAIN Metro. Each pre-service mathematics teacher is asked to design 5 mathematics problems based on a topic in JHS and SHS. The ability to design questions is reviewed based on Bloom^s taxonomic ability level. The results showed that the questions designed by pre-service teachers are based on contextual problems based on the Covid-19 pandemic, but related to the level of ability to be seen based on Bloom^s Taxonomy of 165 question problems, 85% are still in the application level, 17% in the understanding level, and 3% in analysis level.
