Abstract

Positive thinking in psychology and learning is critical when various crises disrupt learning conditions. The author believes that people still have to be positive with the best practices to overcome all difficulties such as those experienced during the Pandemic. For this reason, we have collected several data in the form of scientific evidence from field studies of various experts and expertise, which we believe have provided support in answering the problems of this study. As for before we conclude, we have answered a series of questions using a phenomenological approach, namely an effort to collect as much data as possible and then analyze it to get one answer that is nominal data. Our strategy involves a data coding system, analyzing the data in-depth, evaluating and interpreting, and getting an understanding that becomes the conclusions and findings of a valid and reliable study. We then discuss the study results by considering various aspects of the context and content of this research. Finally, we can conclude that positive practical psychology has overcome problems in education, especially when the Pandemic hit the world. Experts have proved that education continues with all the technicalities and solutions through repressive best practices carried out.
