Abstract

The development of computational thinking (CT) has become increasingly important in primary education, particularly in supporting students’ problem-solving skills in the 21st century. However, assessing CT skills, especially through process-based observation, remains a challenge. This study aims to describe students’ computational thinking skills in science learning through unplugged activities based on researcher reflection on teacher-reported observations. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach involving 8 primary school teachers as respondents. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire designed based on three CT indicators: algorithmic thinking, pattern recognition, and debugging. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, median, and standard deviation. The results showed that all CT indicators were categorized as very high, with debugging having the highest mean score, followed by algorithmic thinking and pattern recognition. The relatively low standard deviation and interquartile range indicated consistent responses among teachers. These findings suggest that unplugged activities effectively support the development of students’ computational thinking skills by emphasizing active, reflective, and structured problem-solving processes. Therefore, integrating unplugged activities into science learning can be an effective strategy to foster CT skills at the primary school level.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the perceptions and interest in learning mathematics among students of the Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) program at the University of Riau. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving 20 students as respondents. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire comprising 30 statements: 15 designed to measure perceptions of mathematics and 15 to measure interest in learning mathematics. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, specifically mean scores, standard deviations, and achievement percentages. The results indicate that students' perceptions of mathematics yielded a mean score of 51.65 (86.08% achievement), while their interest in learning mathematics yielded a mean score of 49.95 (83.25% achievement). These findings demonstrate that, overall, PGSD students hold positive perceptions and maintain a positive interest in learning mathematics. However, variations in individual scores suggest differences in students' experiences with and responses to mathematics. This study provides an initial overview of the state of PGSD students' perceptions and interest in learning mathematics, offering insights that can inform mathematics instruction in higher education.
