A Study on SW Development Process for Increasing Computational Thinking

Abstract

The importance of SW education is being stressed recent days, and the App Inventor is getting attention as a tool of SW education. In this study, I have developed an app Inventor instruction model, which is based on the Design Based Learning and integrated with elements of computational thinking. And I taught the student to apply this model. and then analyzed the app production process and the changes of student. In developing the app, students defined the problem and made a plan to resolve them. And this student had have a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence through practical experience to implement it in their own source code.
