The Development of Unplugged Coding Game Package for Enhancing Computational Thinking Skill for Primary School Student

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to create and find out the efficiency of Unplugged Coding Game package for enhancing computational thinking skill of primary school student to possess the 80/80 efficient criterion 2) to study the results of Unplugged Coding Game package for enhancing computational thinking of primary school student. The study’s sample, selected by cluster random sampling, was 24 students studying in the first grade PAMAIUTID 4 School, TAK. The research Instrument was Unplugged Coding Game package. The data collecting tool was the computational thinking tests which analyzed data by Average, Standard deviation, comparing between Pre-test and Post-test by t-test dependent, and comparing Post-test with criteria of 75 percent by t-test one sample.

The findings were as follows:

      1) Acquired 6 Unplugged Coding Game packages for enhancing computational thinking of the primary school students as follows: Photo Hunter, Fabric Puzzle, Graph Paper, Codding Robot,
The Adventure of the Hmong kids, and the creative kids. The Unplugged Coding Game package was highly suitable ( = 4.92, S.D. = 0.28) and the efficient criterion was 92.00/91.80 above the standard (80/80).

            2) The student’s computational thinking skill between pre-test and post-test student’s score showed that post-test score was significantly higher than pre-test score at the level of.05 and students' Post-Test scores were significantly higher than the criterion at the level of .05.
