Abstract

This research was aimed to study the readiness and relationship between Self-Directed Learning and Computational Thinking in studying Computer subject of Senior Highschool Students. Data used in analytic were Grade 10 - 12 Students who studying Computer subject in First Semester, Academic Year of 2023 totally 482 students which was obtained from Nakhon Sawan and Uthai Thani province where schools were selected from network schools for teacher training, the Faculty of Education, Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University. Research tools were Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale (3 domains, 40 items) and Computational Thinking Scale (4 domains, 25 items). Data analysis using Mean, Standard Deviation, Analysis of Variance, and Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient. Research found that Senior Highschool Students have Self-Directed Learning readiness and Computational Thinking in studying Computer Science subject at high level, and studying in different schools showed the significant level of statistics while Gender and level of study level did not show the significant. And, also showed the relationship between Self-Directed Learning readiness (3 domains) and Computational Thinking.
