THE DEVELOPMENT OF UNPLUGGED CODING LEARNING ACTIVITIES TO PROMOTE COMPUTATIONAL THINKING FOR PRIMARY 1 STUDENTS

Abstract

The objectives of the research article were: 1) to develop learning activities with unplugged coding to promote computational thinking. For grade 1 students with a performance of 70/70 criteria. 2)to compare computational thinking for grade 1 students learning with unplugged coding with the criteria of 70 percent, and 3) to study the satisfaction of Prathomsuksa 1 students towards learning activities with unplugged coding. The sample group used in this research were 43 students  in Prathomsuksa 1/2, semester 2, academic year 2022, Phrakumarn Mahasakham School. The research tool was a computational thinking test. satisfaction questionnaire developed by the researcher The data were analyzed by percentage, mean, and standard deviation. One-Sample Mean Parametric Test t-test.

The results of this study found that: 1) Learning with non-computer programming unplugged coding to promotes computational thinking for students in Grade 1 above the threshold of 70 percent. 2) Comparison of computational thinking for grade 1 students who received learning activities with unplugged coding higher than the threshold of 70 percent, and 3) The overall satisfaction of Prathom Suksa 1 students towards learning activities with unplugged coding was at the highest level.
