Implementasi Computational Thinking dalam Dunia Pendidikan dan Teknologi

Abstract

Computational Thinking (CT) is a thinking approach that emphasizes the ability to solve problems systematically using computer science principles. In today's digital era, CT is an important skill that needs to be taught early in education and integrated into various aspects of technology. This literature study aims to analyze the implementation of CT in the context of education and technology based on the results of the latest research. The method used is a literature review of various national and international journals over the past five years. The results of the study show that CT has a significant contribution to improving students' critical thinking, problem-solving, and digital literacy skills. In the world of technology, CT encourages innovation in software design, artificial intelligence, and programming. The application of CT in educational environments also shows a positive impact on the development of STEM-based curricula, as well as increasing student interest in science and mathematics subjects. This study also highlights challenges in implementing CT, such as lack of teacher training and limited technological resources in some educational institutions. Thus, collaboration between the world of education and the technology industry is needed to integrate CT effectively in order to form a generation that is ready to face the challenges of the digital era. This study concludes that CT is not only a technical competence, but also a relevant thinking foundation for character development and 21st century competence.
