The Development of Learning Model Using Robot Project to Enhance Computational Thinking Skill for High School Students

Abstract

This research article presents a novel model of project-based learning with robotics aimed at enhancing computational thinking skills in high school students. The main research objectives were as follows: 1) to develop a project-based learning model with robotics to enhance high school students’ computational thinking skills, and 2) To certify the model operating with research and development process. Resources include 5 experts. There were 2 steps in conducting the research. Step 1 Creating a learning model using robot project to enhance computational thinking skill for high school students. Step 2 Certifying the learning model using robot project to enhance computational thinking skill for high school student. The document for learning research tools were the developed learning model and form certification assessment form. Then the obtained data were analyzed through statistics of mean, S.D.

The results reveal the following: 1) The project-based learning model with robotics comprises five aspects, including principles, objectives, content, learning process, and evaluation. The implementation follows a four-step project-based learning management process, involving robotic project issue presentation robotic project development planning, real situation action, and evaluation/review. The assessment result certify that the developed learning model is appropriate at the highest level.
