Abstract
Permutations and combination methods are the way to help to solve the problems of probability. It found that most students still do not understand these methods. In addition, the 2019 Coronavirus pandemic causes learning problems. The purposes of this research were to study the mathematical problem - solving ability in permutation and combination after using context - based learning management and to study the guidelines of using context - based learning to develop the mathematical problem - solving ability during the 2019 Coronavirus pandemic. The target group was 12 eleventh – grade students from M.5/2 classroom in the second semester of the academic year 2021 of a school in Bangkok. The research instruments were 8 context – based lesson plans, activity sheet and a mathematical problem - solving ability test. The data were analyzed using mean, percentages, and standard deviations and content analysis. The results showed that 75 percent of students have a better level of mathematical problem - solving ability and the guidelines of using context – based learning during the 2019 Coronavirus pandemic consists of choosing contexts that relates to the student's life, using learning in small groups that focus on problem - solving processes with the use of online learning platforms, having students discuss about key concepts that they got, and having them apply knowledge they had learned to new familiar contexts by themselves. The results of this research can be used as a guideline for the design and development of learning activities to develop mathematical problem - solving ability on permutations and combination.
