Designing and Development of Project-Based Web-based Learning to Enhance Computational Thinking in C Programming Language

Abstract

The Project Based Learning Instruction was a Student Center Learning Management. In which students must prepare a piece of their interest. Study, research and find information on your own. Work together as a group. and It contributes to the development of skills in the 21st century. Including, Life and Work skills, Information, Media and Technology Skills, Learning skills and innovation. This research aims to design and develop lessons on a project-based network that promote computational thinking in C programming courses. Using a development research model (Richey and Klein type1, 2004) consisted of three phases: Phase 1, Design, Phase 2, Development and Phase 3, Evaluation. This research was a phase 1 and 2 research. The results of the research revealed that the conceptual design framework on a project-based network promotes 5 components of computational thinking: 1) Learn by Project 2) Learn more. 3) Learning resources 4) Online meeting 5) Meet with experts the project-based learning component incorporates computational thinking in the learning mission. And developed according to the conceptual framework of Angeli (2016). The thinking process can be divided into 5 steps: 1) Abstraction 2) Generalization 3) Decomposition 4) Algorithm thinking and 5) Debug and the results of the network lesson evaluation by experts. From the research results show that the overall quality of the network lessons was good, with a mean of 4.31 and a standard deviation (S.D.) of 0.58, and the results of a network lesson trial with a sample of 10 people. It was found that the lessons developed on the network were appropriate for the next phase of the experiment.
