Abstract

Computational thinking is a crucial skill that facilitates problem-solving for students. Recognizing its importance, the PISA 2021 framework incorporates computational thinking to enhance problem-solving and mathematical reasoning abilities. However, the proficiency of students in computational thinking remains low in Indonesia due to its infrequent integration into the curriculum. This study aims to evaluate students' computational thinking skills based on the indicators of decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking following the implementation of computational thinking-based learning using the Problem-based Learning (PBL) model, specifically on integer addition and subtraction. The research involved 28 seventh-grade students from SMP Negeri 54 Palembang during the first semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. Data were collected through tests and interviews. The findings indicate that students' computational thinking skills are at a medium level. Furthermore, the study examines students' abilities concerning specific computational thinking indicators. It underscores the impact of computational thinking-based learning in enhancing students' ability to design and develop structured and systematic problem-solving strategies.

Abstract

Traditional games offer children numerous benefits, including health, character development, and educational resources. However, these games have yet to be explored as learning tools for students with dyscalculia, particularly in border areas. This research aims to investigate the mathematical concepts embedded in traditional games as part of the local culture in the Indonesia-Timor Leste Border Area (ITLBA) community. Employing an exploratory approach with an ethnographic methodology, the study utilized documentation, observation, and interviews involving 13 children aged 7-14 years and five informants from the border area. Findings revealed mathematical concepts, including geometry and numerical concepts, within traditional games such as Galah Asin, Kelereng, Siki Doka, and Congklak. Moreover, these games instilled character values such as patriotism and sportsmanship. Children in the ITLBA region benefited from traditional games through social interaction, fostering kinship, cooperation, responsibility, and enhancing psychomotor skills. Ethnomathematics research on traditional games at ITLBA suggests utilizing these games as a platform for mathematics education, especially for students with disabilities. Leveraging classic games can help bridge the gap for students with disabilities, facilitating their numerical skills development within the educational context.
