Abstract

Teachers must be capable of shaping individuals who can adapt to computational thinking skills. Learning styles impact students' performance and learning outcomes. This study examine the computational thinking abilities of prospective mathematics teachers from the perspective of visual, auditory, kinesthetic learning styles. A qualitative approach was used in this study, specifically a case study research design. The subjects of this study were first-semester students in the Mathematics Education program enrolled in the Basic Mathematics course. Research instruments: written tests, learning style questionnaires, interviews. The test questions were validated by three mathematics education experts and piloted with four students. Based on the research findings, it was concluded that learning style influenced students' computational thinking skills. Kinesthetic students demonstrated proficiency across all indicators of computational thinking ability. Visual and auditory students struggled with algorithmic thinking and pattern recognition. However, visual and auditory students, like kinesthetic students, performed well in abstraction and decomposition.
