Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan media pembelajaran CSK (CT-Sheet for Kids) untuk mengenalkan Computational Thinking (CT) pada anak Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD). Penelitian dilakukan pada anak PAUD Himmatul Hidayah Desa Pojok Kecamatan Kwadungan Kabupaten Ngawi, Jawa Timur sejumlah 21 anak. Pengembangan media mengacu pada model pengembangan Plomp yang terbagi dalam lima tahap yaitu tahap investigasi awal, tahap desain, tahap realisasi, tahap tes, evaluasi dan revisi, dan tahap implementasi. Namun pada penelitian ini hanya sampai tahap tes, evaluasi dan revisi. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah lembar validasi media, angket respon anak dan soal tes hasil belajar. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa media CSK untuk mengenalkan CT pada anak PAUD yang dikembangkan memenuhi kriteria valid, efektif, dan praktid. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa media CSK layak digunakan dalam pembelajaran, khususnya dalam mengenalkan CT kepada anak usia dini. Media CSK ini merupakan media yang baru dan belum pernah ada sebelumnya. Rekomendasi untuk penelitian selanjutnya adalah perluasan subjek penelitian meliputi materi dan pengembangan media pembelajaran yang lebih baik lagi.
Digital media is currently a trend in learning mathematics. However, digitalization of the media in primary mathematics education still at an introductory level. This study aims to determine students' mathematical literacy abilities, supported by digital media. The digital media used in this study was Virtual Mathematics Kits (VMK). This study involved 83 primary school students (45 intervention class; 28 non-intervention class) as participant of mathematical literacy training (6 weeks). Students' mathematical literacy evaluated by two section mathematical literacy test. This study revealed that mathematical literacy training led to improve mathematical literacy from both classes. However, mathematical literacy training with VMK aplication have better performance. This study shows that VMK as the digital media have big impact to support students' mathematical literacy abilities.
Computational thinking is needed in the 21st century, where we live in an era of digitalization. Also, there is a global movement to incorporate computational thinking into the education curriculum, especially Mathematics education. The different of this research with others is this research compares the Polya problem solving and computational thinking. This research was conducted to find out how the relationship/relationship of the Polya problem-solving with the steps of computational thinking. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The subject of this study was mathematics education students. The results showed that the relationship between problem-solving and computational thinking of respondent when solving the problem is when defining the problem in the context of problem-solving, the respondent performs the stage of decomposition and abstraction in the context of computational thinking. During the planning process of the solution process, respondents carried out the generalization stage. When the scene is carrying out the plan and the problem solver to look back to evaluate the solution, the respondent performs the debugging and algorithmic steps.
Critical thinking is a skill needed for education. Critical thinking has two main components i.e. ability and critical thinking disposition. The purpose of this research is to describe the disposition of critical thinking of mathematics education students especially analyticity and systematicity component when solving non-routine problem (the problem that is not logical and incomplete). This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The stages in this study are first, students are given three non-routine questions. The second stage, the researchers observed directly and recorded the subject when working on the problem. Third, interviewing the subject related to non-routine problem resolution. Fourth, concluded by describing the disposition of critical thinking of mathematics teacher candidate students, especially analyticity and systematicity components. The results showed that the disposition of critical thinking of first-year college students in mathematics education major is still low. They have not analyzed the problems and answers well and have not written the answers in order and lack of focus when solving non-routine problems. They not yet have a high sense about the irregularities of the problem. It is highly recommended for further research that there is a need for advanced development to improve the disposition of critical thinking students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
