In this study, the effect of algorithm education on teacher candidates’ computational thinking skills and computer programming self-efficacy perceptions were examined. In the study, one group pretest posttest experimental design was employed. The participants consisted of 24 (14 males and 10 females) teacher candidates, majoring in Computer Education and Instructional Technology (CEIT). In order to determine the teacher candidates’ computer programming self-efficacy perceptions, the Computer Programming Self-Efficacy Scale was used, whereas Computational Thinking Skills Scale was used to determine their computational thinking skills. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was used to analyze the differences between pretest and posttest scores of students' computer programming self-efficacy perceptions and computational thinking skills. Throughout the practices, 10 different algorithmic problems were presented to the students each week, and they were asked to solve these problems using flow chart. For 13 weeks, 130 different algorithmic problems were solved. Algorithm education positively and significantly increased students' simple programming tasks, complex programming tasks and programming self-efficacy perceptions. On the other hand, algorithm education had a positive and significant effect only on students’ algorithmic thinking sub-dimension but did not have any effect on other sub-dimensions and computational thinking skills in general.

AbstractThis study investigates the development of algorithmic thinking as a part of computational thinking skills and self-efficacy of primary school pupils using programmable robots in different instruction variants. Computational thinking is defined in the context of twenty-first century skills and describes processes involved in (re)formulating a problem in a way that a computer can process it. Programming robots offers specific affordances as it can be used to develop programs following a Sense-Reason-Act (SRA) cycle. The literature provides evidence that programming robots has the potential to enhance algorithmic thinking as a component of computational thinking. Specifically there are indications that pupils who use SRA-programming learn algorithmic skills better and achieve a higher level of self-efficacy in an open, scaffold learning environment than through direct instruction. In order to determine the influence of the instruction variant used, an experimental research design was made in which pupils solved algorithm-based mathematical problems (grid diagrams) in a preliminary measurement and their self-efficacy determined via a questionnaire. As an intervention, pupils learn to solve programming issues in pairs using “Lego NXT” robots and “Mindstorms” software in two instruction variants. The post-measurement consists of a Lego challenge, solving mathematical problems (grid diagrams), and a repeated self-efficacy questionnaire. This research shows an increase of our measures on algorithmic thinking dependent on the amount of SRA usage (though not significant). Programming using the SRA-cycle can be considered as the cause of the measured effect. The instruction variant used during the robotic intervention seems to play only a marginal role.

Perundungan merupakan isu utama yang menjadi masalah di SMA XYZ sehingga menyebabkan siswa merasa tertekan secara psikologis dan merasa tidak nyaman di sekolah. Dari studi literatur diketahui bahwa semakin positif hubungan antar siswa, yang ditandai dengan tingginya tingkat perilaku prososial, tingkat kejadian perundungan akan semakin rendah. Sebelum intervensi dilakukan, peneliti melakukan studi baseline di SMA XYZ.  Berdasarkan studi baseline tersebut, diketahui bahwa beberapa siswa memiliki kemauan untuk mengubah tradisi perundungan dan menginginkan hubungan yang lebih positif di sekolah. Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan perilaku prososial siswa pada kelompok intervensi, agar terbentuk hubungan yang positif di sekolah. Partisipan pada kelompok intervensi adalah pengurus OSIS, yang terdiri dari 10 siswa kelas X dan 10 siswa kelas XI. Perimbangan pemilihan pengurus OSIS adalah karena mereka dapat menjadi agent of change di SMA XYZ. Intervensi dirancang dengan memodifikasi program CEPIDEA (Caprara et al., 2014), yaitu dengan memberikan pelatihan keterampilan regulasi emosi, empati dan komunikasi serta penguatan perilaku melalui teknik persuasi media sosial pada siswa. Indikator keberhasilan intervensi ini adalah meningkatnya perilaku prososial siswa secara signifikan. Hasil pengukuran wilcoxon signed rank test menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan secara signifikan pada skor keterampilan regulasi emosi, empati,  komunikasi, self efficacy dan perilaku prososial siswa. Implikasi penelitian intervensi ini dibahas dalam artikel.

The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of the science-technology-engineering and mathematics (STEM) integrated argumentation based science learning (ABSL) approach on the resolution of daily life problems and the change of high-level thinking skills. Mixed method was used in the research. The nested pattern is preferred because of majority of qualitative data and to increase the objectivity of the study with quantitative data. Quantitative data were collected with a single group pretest-posttest experimental design. Qualitative data were gathered with document review and daily life problem determination form. The data presented with descriptive and content analysis, frequency, percentage and wilcoxon signed rank test techniques. A homogeneous sample was used in the study. The study was carried out with a randomly chosen class in a mountain village secondary school. As understood from the analysis of the daily life problems before and after the implementation, it was observed as a positive change in the participants thinking about elements such as identification and solution of daily life problems. It is seen that the unresolved problem factor determined for the land factor in hazelnut transportation is removed after the application. According to reflective thinking skills data it was found that participant’s reflective thinking skills “middle” in pre-implementation and in post-implementation it was “high”. The wilcoxon signed rank test was applied to the question of whether the increase in the reflective thinking skills values was meaningful, and it was found that there was no significant difference between pre and post. Various suggestions were made by the research findings. Keywords: STEM-integrated ABSL approach, STEM education, Argumentation, Daily life problems, Reflective thinking
