Abstract
A motivating factor for this study was the need for innovation in online mathematics learning during the Covid-19 pandemics. The innovation aimed to boost the learning motivation of elementary school students. The purpose of this study was to develop valid, practical, and effective problem-based student worksheets for online mathematics learning in elementary school during the Covid- 19 pandemics to increase students^ willingness to learn. This study was a development study that follows a 4-D model that includes stages of define, design, development, and dissemination. The results showed that (1) the validation test score of problem-based student worksheet was 87% with a highly valid category (2) the practicality test score of the problem-based student worksheet from teacher and students aspects was 88% with a highly practical category (3) the effectiveness test showed an increase in student learning motivation from 68.00 to 86.50. This study concluded that problem-based student worksheets for online mathematics learning can boost elementary school students^ motivation to learn in a valid, practical, and effective way during the Covid-19 pandemics. Educational practitioners might utilize the findings of this study as a guide to design an online learning innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
