The development of computational thinking skills-based interactive learning media for PGSD students' problem solving task with scratch programming

Abstract

Exciting and fun learning media are necessary for delivering Physics material to elementary schools so that it is uncomplicated for learners to figure out. The development of interactive study media based on computational thinking skills needs to be honed for students to be skilled in programming to create the Physics material for elementary schools that they want to convey. This advancement investigation intends to determine the effectiveness of examples of computational thinking programming projects using Simple Machine materials that can be created and guided for problem-solving tasks in computational thinking training for PGSD students using the Scratch application. The research subjects were 20 private university students in Padang. Developing interactive learning media for computational thinking skills by applying the DDR design through the ADDIE model. Observation activities, interviews, and questionnaire instruments were used to obtain quantitatively analyzed data. The results of research on the process of needs analysis, expert validation, and effectiveness testing on students prove that the development of reciprocal study media grounded computational thinking, Simple Machine material with Scratch programming, is suitable as an example for problem-solving tasks for PGSD students' computational thinking training. Suggestions for further development of interactive learning media based on computational thinking skills are that interesting programming animation videos should be made to show learning from the concepts being taught, which will make it uncomplicated for learners to figure out.
