Project-based Model in Physics Learning: The Influence on Computational Thinking Skills on the Eleventh-Grade Natural Science Major Students

Abstract

The low level of computational thinking skills of students is a problem of 21st-century skills. One of the efforts to support 21st-century education is by applying a Project-based learning model. This study aims to determine the effect of the application of a project-based learning model on the computational thinking skills of students in class XI IPA. The research was conducted at MA Al-Hikmah Bandar Lampung. The population in this study was XI IPA class with samples of XI IPA 1 (experimental class) and XI IPA (control class). Using saturated sampling technique with Quasi-Experimental Research design. The results of this study indicate that the t-test value with a significant level of 5% there is an effect of the project-based learning model on the computational thinking skills of students in class XI IPA with a sig value <0.05 which is equal to 0.000 then H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. Therefore, computational thinking skills can be used to solve problems in physics learning by applying indicators of decomposition, abstraction, algorithms, and generalization of patterns.
