Computational thinking (CT) is increasingly emerging as a thinking skill to support the development of 21st century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, or technology literacy, essential for students to become successful in an increasingly complex society. Educators are always looking for new strategies for developing these skills in students. Three-dimensional (3D) printing and scanning technologies are sufficiently mature and economically accessible to be used at the school level. By using 3D technologies, students explore, invent, discover, and engage in real problems and situations. This study explores the use of 3D printing technologies in a secondary school in Athens over the course of two school years. The study investigates if 3D technologies can support the development of CT skills in students.

Model Approach

The subject of algorithm and programming is one of the important knowledge that need to be mastered by students in computer science. To learn it, students are required to have several skills, such as logic, critical thinking, problem solving, etc. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to design and build multimedia applications to support critical thinking, called computational stories, on studying basic programming with a problem-posing model approach by involving cases in everyday life. In this application, students are given some cases in the form of code with the C programming language. Then, students are asked to arrange a correct story line from the choices available. From this research experiment, the results show that this multimedia can improve critical thinking based on comparison of pre-test and post-test results with an average of 32.9 to 72.47. With an average gain value of 0.58 included in the medium category.

Algorithmic Thinking

Computational thinking is an essential skill set for today's students, given the digital age in which we live and work (CT). Without a precise definition, it is generally understood to be a collection of abilities and attitudes required to deal with difficulties in any aspect of life, whether or not a computer is involved. Measurement and evaluation of students' progress in CT abilities are critical, and this can only be done using instruments that have been tested and shown to work before. New students at the Basque Country's University of the Basque Country's Engineering Degrees are tested for critical thinking, algorithmic thinking, problem solving, cooperation and creativity using a previously proven tool.

Teacher Data

This research aims to analyse and design the e-module learning based on computational thinking for increasing the critical thinking skill of students with hearing impairment. This research used the qualitative descriptive approach. The subjects of the research are the students of the VII grade of Special Junior High School of Djojonegoro Temanggung. The data collection instruments used in this research were the guidelines for the validation of the e-module design, the guidelines for observing the implementation of learning in class, and the interview guidelines for the teacher. Data is analyzed by reducing, serving, and concluding. The result of the research is analyzing the necessity of the e-module and designing the e-model based on analysis needs. The e-module designed based on computational thinking to increase the critical thinking skill of the students with hearing impairment appropriated by their character, curriculum, and student's tasks. The results of this study can be used as a guide for mathematics teachers in developing e-module that make students understand mathematics and have critical thinking skills simultaneously. The advantage of this research is to integrate critical thinking skills into e-module.
