  1. The result of problem-solving activities between students taught using online platforms and those taught outside them were compared using an independent sample t-test. No significant mean difference was found (t = 0.41, p > 0.05). It could be observed that the mean difference in problem-solving activities of students taught in conventional classrooms (mean = 17.18, SD = 17.18) was higher than those thought using online platforms (mean = 16.99, SD = 2.56). However, there is no significant difference in mean problem-solving activities between the two sets of students
