Low computational thinking skills cause students to have difficulty solving problems. This study aims to analyze whether there is an increase in students' CT abilities using the STEM-oriented MEA model with conventional learning. The research method is an experiment using an experimental group of 30 students and a control class of 32 students. The research instrument uses questionnaires and rubrics to assess students' CT abilities. The results of the T-test analysis used are Equal variances not assumed, which is 0.000 (Sig. (2-tailed)) > 0.05 means There is an increase in student's CT abilities using the STEM-oriented MEA model with conventional learning, so There is an increase in student's CT abilities using the STEM-oriented MEA model with conventional learning. Thus, there is an increase in the ability of students to think computationally using the STEM-oriented MEA model with conventional learning.
