The Use of 3D Technologies to Support Computational Thinking in STEM Education

Computational thinking (CT) is increasingly emerging as a thinking skill to support the development of 21st century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, or technology literacy, essential for students to become successful in an increasingly complex society. Educators are always looking for new strategies for developing these skills in students. Three-dimensional (3D) printing and scanning technologies are sufficiently mature and economically accessible to be used at the school level. By using 3D technologies, students explore, invent, discover, and engage in real problems and situations. This study explores the use of 3D printing technologies in a secondary school in Athens over the course of two school years. The study investigates if 3D technologies can support the development of CT skills in students.

A Brief Discussion on Incentives and Barriers to Computational Thinking Education

The idea that computational thinking or algorithmic thinking should be taught to everyone dates back to the 1960s. First in 1960s, Alan Perlis argued that computer programming should be taught to everyone because it can be used as a mental tool for understanding and solving every kind of problem. In 1980s, under the leadership of Seymour Papert, students at the level of primary education were attempted to be taught LOGO programming language with the aim of gaining procedural thinking skill. After the publication of Jeannette Wing's “computational thinking” in Communications of the ACM in 2006, the idea that the basic concepts of computer science should be learned by all was started to be debated widely again. In the present paper, the justifications for teaching computational thinking and applicability of teaching computational thinking within the context of existing conditions will be discussed.

IMPLEMENTASI PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS HOTS (HIGH ORDER THINKING SKILL) DI SEKOLAH DASAR KOTA MALANG

HOTS (High Order Thinking Skill) is material used by the students for helping the achievement of the competency standard , the purpose of education of primary and competence have (Depdiknas.2006) This study aims to describe the implementation of learning based on High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in Elementary Schools in Malang. It is well known that the implementation of the 2013 curriculum suggests that the importance of applying HOTS to the learning process in elementary schools. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a study in the form of research to see the effectiveness of its implementation in elementary school. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. There are 2 methods used, namely descriptive and evaluative methods. The study population was all elementary schools in Malang. The research sample there are 40 public elementary schools in all districts in Malang. Data was collected using interview guidelines, observation sheets, and documentation. The results showed: (1) the average level of success of teachers in formulating HOTS-based learning planning in SD Malang only reached 79.46 even though it was in the Good category. (2) The average success rate of the implementation of HOTS-based learning as a whole is at 74.81% with the Fair category. (3) The average success rate of HOTS-based authentic assessment formulation in SD Malang is at 74.65% with the Fair category. Thus, improvement efforts are still needed, especially those related to the implementation of learning and authentic assessment of HOTS-based learning in Malang Primary School.

Examination of Media Literacy and Critical Thinking Levels of Teacher Candidates in the Age of Global Communication

The media and mass media, which are used extensively in our age, affect individuals in terms of political, cultural, economic and education. The correct and critical use of media requires media literacy and critical thinking skills, among 21st-century skills. Individuals with these skills are required to interpret, evaluate and analyze the information obtained through mass media with a critical perspective. The concept of media literacy is an interdisciplinary concept that falls under the scope of both communication sciences and educational sciences. The aim of the study is to reveal the media literacy and critical thinking skill levels of teacher candidates and the relationship between media literacy and critical thinking skill levels. The survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. The study sample consists of 185 Science, Turkish and Classroom teacher candidates studying at different grade levels in the education faculty of a state university in the 2018-2019 academic year. Data were collected using a personal information form, Media Literacy Scale and Critical Thinking Tendency Scale. In the data analysis, descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to look at the normality of the distributions, Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test to look at the difference between the variables were used. As a result of the study, it was found that pre-service teachers’ media literacy and critical thinking skills did not show a significant difference according to gender, duration of internet use and the primary function they sought in TV programs. In addition, while the critical thinking skill level of the pre-service teacher does not differ according to the grade level and department, the media literacy skill levels of the pre-service teachers vary according to the grade level and department. In terms of social media tools, it was found that pre-service teachers with high critical thinking levels preferred to use Twitter more, while pre-service teachers with high media literacy levels preferred Twitter and Facebook. In addition, it has been determined that there is a statistically positive relationship between critical thinking and media literacy levels.

Developing Interactive Electronic Book Based on TPACK to Increase Creative Thinking Skill

This study aims to: (1) improve the creative thinking skills of prospective teachers, (2) measure the level of validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the developed electronic book. This type of research is research and development (RD) by applying the ADDIE model. This research was conducted through 5 stages: (1) analysis, (2) design, (3) development, (4) implementation, and (5) evaluation. The subjects of this study were students (prospective teachers) in the 5th-semester consisting of 55 people in the IT-based learning media course. At the same time, the object of this research was an electronic book developed based on TPACK. Several instruments were used: observation sheets, questionnaires, validation sheets, and essay tests. The results of data analysis indicate that the electronic book has met the requirements of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. In addition, there was a significant increase in the ability to think creatively.

ANALISIS SOAL HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILL (HOTS) BAHASA INDONESIA DALAM UJIAN SEKOLAH SMP NEGERI 4 DUMAI

This research is a teaching field research on the analysis of the Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) type of exam questions for Nineth Grade Students of SMP Negeri 4 Dumai. The problem examined in this study is how many levels of HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill) questions are contained in the school exam questions. This type of research is quantitative.

The results of this study indicate that 32.5% are classified as HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skill) questions and 67.5% are classified as MOTS (Middle Order Thinking Skills)

Evaluating Learning Media on Mathematical Literacy Through Student’s Logical Thinking Skill: Mobile Learning Integrated Ethnomathematics as Strategy to Improve Student’s Logical Thinking Skill

This study aims to evaluate learning media on mathematical literacy towards the achievement of logical thinking skills and determine strategies to build students’ logical thinking skills. The subject in this study were 79 fifth-grade primary school students in Surakarta and Boyolali. The data in this study is quantitative data and qualitative data. The instrument used to collect quantitative data was a mathematical literacy test consisting of five aspects of logical thinking skills that are understanding, planning, determining, solving, and conclusion. The instrument used to collect qualitative data was the scientific journal. The results showed that percentage achievement of students’ logical thinking skills in solving mathematical literacy is understanding (55,82%), planning (51,08%), determining (47,85%), solving (41,52%), and conclusion (31,14%). The data shows that learning media in elementary school could not be building students’ logical thinking skills. One strategy which can be used to build students’ logical thinking skills is through mobile learning integrated ethnomathematics.
