Abstract
Effecting of pandemic on population, students’ computational thinking (CT) skills is necessary for using data and news stories to solve and prevent the pandemic problems. This action research purposed to investigate how to use 5Es inquiry learning activities with board game and formula coding approach to develop students’ CT skills of grade 12 students on topic of population and to examine students’ CT skills after learning by this approach. The data was collected from learning activity plans which using COVID-19 pandemic, reflective learning tools, the CT skills test, and student worksheets. Data was analyzed by using content analysis and using resource and method triangulation for credibility of data. The results show that 5Es inquiry learning activities with board game and formula coding approach should start with engagement pandemic news, exploration of pandemic data to design the prevention and solving by using formula coding with Microsoft Excel program, explanation population graphs from changed trend, elaboration of population dynamics illustrated by Covidea board game before group discussion for concluding. In addition, the results of during the activities and the CT skills test show that students’ CT skills are accordant at the highest level.
