Abstract

This study aims to provide an in-depth overview of trends in Computational Thinking (CT) learning among elementary school students through bibliometric analysis. The development of CT skills, which include logical thinking, systematic problem-solving, decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic design, is essential to prepare students for navigating a technology-driven future. By encouraging CT in primary education, students better understand technology and versatile skills that can be applied in various fields. This study uses a bibliometric approach by systematically collecting and analyzing scientific articles on CT in elementary schools. The analysis used specific metrics, including publication trends, citation analysis, and identifying leading research areas. Data is drawn from leading academic databases and analyzed to track the progress and impact of CT research over time. The results show a significant increase in publications and citations on CT, which peaked in 2021. The main trend highlights the importance of visual programming tools like Scratch in improving students' understanding of programming concepts, logic, and motivation. The study also uncovered research gaps and suggested areas that need further investigation, particularly in developing CT curricula and more effective teaching methodologies. These findings are expected to significantly contribute to advancing CT education and help equip the younger generation with the skills needed.

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on all sectors of life. One of the sectors most affected by this pandemic is the economic sector. The reduction of employees causes the high unemployment rate in Indonesia. In addition, the large number of university graduates who have not found work also increases the unemployment rate. This phenomenon makes universities have to make more efforts to prepare their graduates to become graduates who are not only ready to work but are also ready to create their own jobs. This study aims to analyze the effect of project-based learning on student competence. the method used is descriptive quantitative. The process of collecting data using questionnaires and observation sheets. The results obtained by project-based learning have a fairly good influence on students' entrepreneurial abilities.

Abstract

Science literacy is an important competency in 21st-century learning because it is related to the ability to understand scientific concepts and apply them in everyday life. However, students' science literacy skills are still relatively low, partly due to the teacher-centered learning process and the suboptimal use of the environment as a learning resource. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve teachers' capacity in designing contextual and innovative learning. This community service activity aims to improve elementary school teachers' capacity to apply science literacy learning through an environment-based STEAM approach. This community service activity was carried out at Kwadungan Public Elementary School using several stages, namely needs analysis, material socialization, STEAM paradigm reconstruction, science literacy workshops, environmental exploration, and activity evaluation. The results of the activity show that before the activity was carried out, most teachers did not understand the concept of STEAM learning and did not optimally utilize the surrounding environment as a learning resource. After participating in the socialization and training activities, teachers began to understand the basic concepts of STEAM and were able to identify the potential of the environment as a contextual learning resource. Thus, this activity contributed to improving teachers' capacity in terms of understanding, knowledge, and skills in designing innovative and contextual science literacy learning.
