Abstract

Computational thinking has become a hot topic in almost all developed countries in the world and has been implemented as part of the national curriculum for K-12 students, but in its application computational thinking requires learning models that provide direct experience to students such as experiential learning models. The experiential learning model prioritizes real experience as the object of student learning. The purpose of this research is to apply the concept of computational thinking for junior high school students in programming algorithms. The results of this study indicate that student learning outcomes in the experimental class have an average value of 87.826 and the control class is 81.36363. Based on the results of the t-test where the value of tcount = 1.33676 is smaller than ttable = 1.68107 then H0 is accepted and Ha is rejected, so that there is no significant difference between the learning outcomes of the experimental class students who apply the concept of computational thinking and the control class students^ learning outcomes. on programming algorithms, but gave a positive increase to students with an increase in the average score of students.
