Active Problem-Based Learning through Cloud Technology to Promote the Computational Thinking of Grade 12 Students
Keywords:
Problem-based Learning, Active Learning, Cloud Technology, Computational ThinkingAbstract
Active problem-based learning through cloud technology aims to promote the computational thinking of Grade 12 students to effectively meet the demands of learners in the technological era and to align their learning with the curriculum. This approach enhances students' knowledge and the skills needed for the 21st century through the use of cloud technology. This research aims to: (1) design a problem-based active learning process using cloud technology to promote the computational thinking skills of Grade 12 students, and (2) evaluate the implementation of the problem-based active learning model through the use of cloud technology to enhance the computational thinking skills of Grade 12 students.
The research findings revealed that the design of a problem-based active learning approach through the use of cloud technology to promote computational thinking, as evaluated by experts, was deemed highly appropriate overall
(M = 4.68, SD = 0.47). It can be concluded that the design of problem-based active learning through the use of cloud technology to enhance the computational thinking skills of Grade 12 students is highly suitable in terms of meeting their needs, and can serve as a framework for learning management aimed at promoting students' ability to seek knowledge and create their own understanding effectively through the use of cloud technology.
