Abstract

A review of the literature on Computational Thinking has revealed the importance of computational thinking (CT) as an effective approach in problem-solving, especially when associated with the presence of technology as a means to formulate problem solutions. Using the Computational Thinking Scale (CTS), the purpose of this study is to map the development of students’ CT as an impact of learning statistics. This research is descriptive. To determine the validity of the scale, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) calculation was conducted. As well as the power of difference, internal consistency, and the level of stability. The Computational Thinking Scale (CTS) was determined as a valid and reliable instrument to determine the CT ability of undergraduate students, based on the results of data processing. Students’ ability in CT is in the medium range, with “Problem Solving” and “Creativity” as the most dominant factors. In contrast, “Algorithmic Thinking” is a factor that needs more attention. This indicates that students should be exposed to more non-routine and non-procedural problem-solving case studies, to be more familiar with algorithmic patterns in problem-solving.
