Abstract

Computational thinking skills are the process of problem-solving with rational thinking to come up with a step-by-step approach to finding answers. It consists of dividing a large problem into sub-problem, form consideration, abstract thinking, and design of the solution algorithm. These are skills for programming or coding, which are included in the Technology course (Computing Science). In addition to improving learners’ Intelligence Quotient (IQ), it also results in systematic thinking and proper behavior, known as Emotional Intelligence, which consists of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. These components can be promoted through computational thinking skills and coding activities.
