“…Fatin [10] states that the importance of analytical thinking in engineering education where students are expected to make an inference when comparing and reason when taking risks and making decisions. Robbins [11] claims that analytical thinking skill is necessary when solving out the facts and both analytical and logical thinking skills are necessary when solving problems.…”

Abstract:The link between analytical and logical thinking skills and success of software practitioners attracted an increasing attention in the last decade. Several studies report that the ability to think logically is a requirement for improving software development skills, which exhibits a strong reasoning. Additionally, analytical thinking is a vital part of software development for example while dividing a task into elemental parts with respect to basic rules and principles. Using the basic essence of gamification, this study proposes a mobile testing platform for assessing analytical and logical thinking skills of software practitioners as well as computer engineering students. The assessment questions were taken from the literature and transformed into a gamified tool based on the software requirements. A focus group study was conducted to capture the requirements. Using the Delphi method, these requirements were discussed by a group of experts to reach a multidisciplinary understanding where a level of moderate agreement has been achieved. In light of these, an assessment tool was developed, which was tested on both software practitioners from the industry and senior computer engineering students. Our results suggest that individuals who exhibit skills in analytical and logical thinking are also more inclined to be successful in software development.

“…The generative repertoires are those that result in producing behavior that meets requirements (typically encountered in problem solving) not already in the student's repertoire or that are not a "simple" extension of a previously taught relation. These repertoires typical are categorized as reasoning, inquiry, analytical thinking, and more advanced problem solving (see for example Robbins, 2011).…”

As new "technologies of tools" emerge for the delivery of instruction, it is of critical importance that we apply "technologies of process," derived from the basic and applied learning sciences, to the design and development of instruction (Layng & Twyman, 2013). Those who would design effective instruction must master a range of skills, competencies and objectives that have been derived from over forty years of research and application. Mastery is not easy and requires significant training. This article describes in detail these requirements. They are divided into six separate domains: analysis, design, media selection, testing (formative evaluation), system management, and research evaluation. The requirements listed here provide a guide for anyone looking to become an effective instructional designer capable of making use of current and emerging software and hardware technologies.

“…Those can be correlated each other or as the whole structure (Kuswana, 2012). According to Robbins (2011) thinking analytically is a series of ty pical actions but involving inquiry element and further situation with undefined result and parameter. Low analytical skill can be bad-damaged for whether short or long term.…”

As educator of the generations to continue the nation, teac hers have an important role as fac ilitator of strength and motivation in the development of the attitude required for the attainment of educational objectives and goals. They could have an influenc e on their students with what they teac h. Therefore, they need to be innovative in delivering their teac hing to learners in order that the teac hing and learning process becomes more meaningful and results in quality education. In a piec e of research, a learning kit with local culture as basis and developed with the purpose of improving students' analytical skills has been found to be valid and effective in use. The learning kit c onsists of a learning execution plan, a students' work sheet, and an evaluation instrument. The research was Research and Development in design and used the model named ADDIE with the letters in the name standing for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation to represent the research stages. The research subjects were junior high school students of the grade officially c alled Grade VII with 31 of them serving as the experimental class. The research instruments were a validation sheet, an analytical skill test, The research used test and non-test data collec tion tec hniques. According to the validation results, the IPA learning kit developed in the research with S erukam local culture as basis was declared valid by an experts' team of validators. The researc h results indicated that the learning kit was effective in use in relation with students' analytical skills. It was indicated by results of analysis of data obtained before and after the learning period, whic h showed that the gain score for students' analytical skills was 0.54, which was medium in category, Therefore, the learning kit developed as the final product of the research already meets the criteria for being valid and effective to use to improve students' analytical skills.
