Student Computational Logical Thinking of Block Programming Concept in Arduino Learning By S4A (Scratch for Arduino)

摘要

The purpose of this study was to determine the change in students computational logical thinking ability after the implementation of Scracth for Arduino (S4A) in block programming learning. The population in this research were all students of physics application for computer (Aplikom) course, consisted of 9 student academic year 2018, Department of Physics Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Muhammadiyah Purworejo. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest one group design. The result of the research showed that the average of students computational logical thinking ability of block programming before implementation scratch for arduino was 69% and after implementation was 74,86%. It means that student's ability of computational logical thinking increase. This is indicated by the increased ability to make conclusion or make prediction based on the correlation between cases was 17,4%. It was also showed that there was an increased in compiling analysis and synthesis of several cases by 6,7%.
