Abstract
Computational Thinking (CT) is an ability that needs to be mastered by the younger generation in facing the 5.0 era. Therefore, CT skills need to be provided to student teachers (mathematics) who will educate students who will fill the 5.0 era and the Golden Indonesia era in 2045. CT skills are implemented through the ACE cycle which was a learning cycle used in the theoretical framework APOS. The research method was used qualitative method with case studies. The research was conducted on prospective Mathematics teacher students in the Ring Theory course in the Mathematics Education Study Program at a University in the city of Bandung. The instrument used were the Student Worksheet (LKM) which contains the CT stages and post tests which are used to see the use of CT components in solving questions. The research results show that based on the results of the implementation of the use of teaching materials (LKM) in the Ring Theory course, it was found that students tend more easier to solve problems (questions) or prove theorems in the Ring Theory course. This happens because students are used to solving proof problems based on the stages or components of computational thinking. Meanwhile, based on the post-test results obtained, 70% of students were able to solve the post-test questions using the CT component/stages
