The Urgency of Developing Computational Thinking Skills Test Instruments on Biology Subject for Senior High School Students
Abstract
The effort needed to achieve optimal education in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is to develop problem-solving skills closely related to computational thinking. The type of research used is qualitative descriptive to know the urgency of developing a computational thinking skills test instrument for Biology high school students. The subject of this research is a Biology teacher spread across Banten Province. Tahapan penelitian meliputi pengambilan data melalui kuesioner, analisis data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. The research stages include collecting data through questionnaires, data analysis, and conclusions. The research results show that 57% of teachers know enough about computational thinking skills, and 71% do not know enough about indicators of computational thinking skills. However, as many as 57% of teachers had applied decomposition questions, 43% had applied pattern recognition questions, 71% had applied abstraction questions, and 71% had applied algorithm questions. The conclusion of this research is the importance of computational thinking skills in biology learning, so there is a need to develop test instruments to measure these skills in students at school.
