Coding Instruction Through Learning Activity on Tourist Attraction Route Planning in Wiang Kalong City

Abstract

A learning activity based on a combination of mathematic and coding has been created in this independent study.The learning activity on coding instruction through learning activity on tourist attraction route planning in Wiang Kalong City is an integration of mathematics and coding. The objectives of this study were 1) to apply mathematical knowledge for planning tourist attraction routes in Wiang Kalong 2) to plan instruction activities that combine mathematical knowledge and coding based on local activities 3) to develop analytical thinking skills, systematic problem solving skills of the 5th grade students. Sample of this study were 30 students of the 5th grade students whose studied at Ban Hang Tam School, Pa Ngio Subdistrict, Wiang Pa Pao District, Chiang Rai Province, in Academic Year 2021. The research instruments include seven learning activities on tourist attraction route planning in Wiang Kalong City, the professional assessment form on learning activies, student learning record form, and post teaching record form. Results led to a set of seven learning activities on tourist attraction route planning in Wiang Kalong City.These learning activities improved coding skill of the 5th grade students through planning tourist attraction route in Wiang Kalong City. Evaluation from four experts indicated that the created activities were suitable for use in learning activities. Its implementation showed that students can apply their mathematical knowledge to design tourist attraction routes and able to relate mathematics and coding through local activities. Results also showed that students improved their analytical and systematic problem solving skills.
