Abstract

Nowadays, students not only need to have the ability to read, write and count, but also they should have the capability in computational thinking so that the brain will get used to thinking logically and structurally for understanding the technology that is around them faster. Therefore, this research is aimed to develop a learning media based on concepts of computational thinking. It provides some questions consisting of 4 categories and totaling 17 questions to train the ability in computational thinking. In developing the learning media, it used the model of ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluate) with a sample of same students from primary school in Subang, West Java, Indonesia. The results indicate that the developed instructional media has been evaluated and rated with the score "Very Good" by experts with the average percentage of feasibility around 96.19%. Computational Thinking skills possessed by students vary and have different abilities in each question category, and have different levels of difficulty according to the abilities possessed by each student. Assessment and student responses indicate a category that is "very good" towards learning media and get an average score of 87.11%. It indicates that the developed media is ready to be used in the primary school in general.
